PVC coated welded wire mesh is a hot-dipped galvanized welded mesh. It combines the structural strength of welded steel wire with the flexibility and anti-corrosive properties of PVC, making it ideal for long-term outdoor use.
Commonly available in rolls and panels, it is widely used in fencing for gardens, residential zones, parks, building sites, and agricultural enclosures. Green is the most commonly used color.
In this article, FUDAS will guide you through its construction, coating process, common specifications, and real-world applications—helping you select the most suitable type for your needs.
How the PVC Coating Is Applied
PVC coated welded wire mesh gets its durability and weather resistance from its surface coating—a flexible vinyl (PVC) layer applied. Here’s how it works:
1.Surface Cleaning:
The welded mesh is thoroughly cleaned to remove any oil, rust, or debris that may affect the coating adhesion.
2.Pre-heating the Mesh:
The cleaned mesh is heated to prepare it for coating—this improves PVC bonding.
3.Dip Coating:
The entire mesh is dipped into molten PVC.
4.Curing / Cooling:
The coated mesh is cooled (or sometimes lightly baked) to solidify the PVC layer and form a tough, protective finish.
Advantages of PVC Coating Welded Wire Mesh
1.Excellent Corrosion Resistance
The PVC layer blocks moisture and chemicals, preventing rust even in coastal or industrial environments.
2.Impact & Abrasion Resistant
The flexible coating absorbs small impacts and reduces wear, ideal for outdoor and high-traffic use.
3.Weather & UV Resistant
PVC withstands sunlight, rain, and temperature changes without fading or cracking.
4.Safe & Smooth Surface
The smooth surface is safer to handle and prevents injury to people or animals.
5.Attractive & Low Maintenance
Common green finish is visually appealing and requires minimal upkeep.
