The materials to make gabion mesh can be divided into four types. The first type is the hot-dipped galvanized wire, which can be classified into common hot-dipped galvanizing with the amount of zinc coating 50G/M2 and high galvanizing with the export standard for 250-270G/M2. The second type is the electro galvanized wire. The following type is the PVC coated wire. It can be PVC coated after either electro galvanizing or hot-dipped galvanizing. A variety of colors are available like grey, grass green and dark green, etc. The last type is the Galfan steel wire, which can be divided into Zn-5%Al wire and Zn-10%Al wire.
Hot-dipped 10% Zn-Al gabion mesh or hot-dipped 5% Zn-Al gabion mesh (also called Zn-10%Al gabion mesh or Zn-5%Al gabion mesh) is woven with various specifications of 10% (or 5%) Zn-Al alloy low carbon steel wire. Under the same conditions, the hot-dipped 10% Zn-Al alloy steel wire will have a relatively longer service life compared with the 5% Zn-Al alloy steel wire. In order to prolong the service life of the steel wire, a layer of PVC or PE coating will be added on the surface of the steel wire.
