Classification According to Surface Treatment
Welded wire mesh products are extensively utilized across various industries due to their versatility and durability. A critical factor that enhances these attributes is the type of surface treatment applied, which also defines the mesh’s specific applications and resistance to environmental conditions.
Process: This mesh undergoes a post-welding treatment where it’s completely submerged in molten zinc, creating a thick and robust coating.
Ideal for: Environments that demand the highest level of protection against rust and corrosion, including outdoor, marine, and industrial settings where the mesh is exposed to harsh weather or corrosive elements.
Process: Zinc coating is applied through an electroplating process prior to welding, leading to a thinner coating compared to hot-dipping.
Suitable for: Scenarios where moderate corrosion resistance is sufficient. This includes interior projects or external applications in milder climates where extreme weather or corrosive conditions are not a primary concern.
Process: After welding, the mesh is coated with a layer of vinyl, a form of plastic, providing an additional barrier against the elements.
Optimal for: Applications where the mesh will be visible as the coating can be customized in various colors. It’s also used where additional corrosion resistance is necessary without the need for a heavy-duty galvanized finish.
Process: A dry powder is electrostatically applied to the mesh and then cured under heat, creating a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint.
Best for: Aesthetic applications that require a uniform, sleek appearance and environments where the mesh may be subject to scratching or abrasion, as the coating is more resistant to chipping.
Process: The mesh is coated with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) which fuses to the wire after a heat treatment.
Recommended for: Both decorative and practical uses, as the PVC coating provides a waterproof layer and is available in a variety of colors. This makes it suitable for garden fencing, animal enclosures, and children’s play areas where safety and visual appeal are priorities.
