GALVANIZED WIRE MESH IS A DURABLE AND VERSATILE PRODUCT MADE FROM STEEL WIRE COATED WITH ZINC TO PROVIDE EXCELLENT RESISTANCE AGAINST RUST AND CORROSION. THIS MAKES IT A POPULAR CHOICE FOR A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS IN MALAYSIA, FROM GENERAL FENCING TO CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT.

MATERIAL AND COMPOSITION
THE PRIMARY FEATURE OF GALVANIZED WIRE MESH IS ITS PROTECTIVE ZINC COATING:

STEEL CORE: THE BASE MATERIAL IS HIGH-QUALITY LOW-CARBON STEEL WIRE, WHICH PROVIDES STRENGTH.

GALVANIZATION PROCESS: THE WIRE UNDERGOES A GALVANIZATION PROCESS WHERE IT IS COATED WITH A LAYER OF ZINC. THIS CAN BE DONE VIA ELECTRO-GALVANIZATION OR, FOR SUPERIOR PROTECTION, HOT-DIP GALVANIZATION. HOT-DIP GALVANIZATION AFTER WELDING PROVIDES A MORE ROBUST AND LONG-LASTING DEFENSE AGAINST HARSH WEATHER AND MOISTURE.

CORROSION RESISTANCE: THE ZINC COATING ACTS AS A SACRIFICIAL LAYER, CORRODING BEFORE THE UNDERLYING STEEL, WHICH SIGNIFICANTLY EXTENDS THE LIFESPAN OF THE MESH, ESPECIALLY IN HUMID OR WET ENVIRONMENTS.

TYPES AND APPLICATIONS
GALVANIZED WIRE MESH COMES IN VARIOUS FORMS TO SUIT DIFFERENT NEEDS:

WELDED WIRE MESH: WIRES ARE WELDED AT EACH INTERSECTION TO FORM A FLAT, STURDY PANEL OR ROLL.
APPLICATIONS: USED FOR ANIMAL CAGES, MACHINE PROTECTION, SECURITY BARRIERS, GARDEN FENCING, AND BRC MESH FOR CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT.

WOVEN WIRE MESH: WIRES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER TO CREATE A FLEXIBLE FABRIC.
APPLICATIONS: OFTEN USED FOR CHAIN LINK FENCING, ANIMAL ENCLOSURES, AND CERTAIN INDUSTRIAL USES.

EXPANDED METAL (EXMET): WHILE NOT TECHNICALLY A “WIRE MESH,” THIS RELATED PRODUCT IS A SINGLE SHEET OF METAL THAT IS SLIT AND STRETCHED INTO A DIAMOND PATTERN, OFTEN USED FOR BRICK AND BLOCK REINFORCEMENT.
