After manufacturing, barbed wire undergoes certain processing to improve its corrosion and rust resistance. Common processes include galvanizing and plastic coating. Many customers struggle to decide which offers the best value. Below, we'll discuss whether plastic coating or galvanizing is the better choice for barbed wire.
What are the functions of barbed wire? How is its function demonstrated? Plastic-coated barbed wire is made by applying a rust-protective treatment to sheet-like barbed wire. The outer surface of the barbed wire should provide excellent rust protection, be aesthetically pleasing, and offer good practicality. It should be easy to install and offer a relatively high cost-performance ratio. Plastic-coated barbed wire involves applying plastic paint to the surface of the barbed wire.
Plastic paint is a common electrostatic coating method used to fix barbed wire or wire mesh to the outside. It then requires a 200-degree heat treatment to adhere the plastic paint or powder coating to the surface of the wire mesh. These plastic-coated barbed wires are generally used on indoor enclosures. The plastic paint surface has a good overall texture, strong adhesion, and is more durable. The coating process is quick, and most importantly, its rust and corrosion resistance is excellent, significantly better than ordinary materials.
The advantages of plastic-coated barbed wire include high compressive strength, high strength, and strong rust and corrosion resistance, which greatly improves the protection time of the barbed wire. Different colors can be used to coordinate with the surrounding environment. Plastic paint comes in many colors, allowing for appropriate matching based on the site conditions. Plastic-coated barbed wire is made of steel sheet pressed into the shape of blades, or has a wire core. Due to the special shape of the wire rope, it cannot be easily touched, thus providing excellent protection and separation.
