Abstract
The invention relates to a cutting wire () which is intended for a vegetation-cutting or -trimming device. The inventive wire comprises a core () which is surrounded by a skin (). The invention is characterised in that: the core is made from a polyamide or a copolyamide; the skin is made from a polyamide or a copolyamide which is different from that of the core and which has a melting point above that of the core, such as to limit the occurrences of sticking, particularly caused by friction, in relation to the normal occurrences of sticking produced with the core material; and the outer surface of the skin is smooth. The risks of sticking and, in particular, of one wire sticking to another wire, under the effect of heating of different origins, regardless of whether the wire is in a coil or in strands, are significantly reduced or even eliminated without disturbing the production process or altering the performances of the wire.
