PVC Coated Welded Wire Mesh - Rustproof, UV-Stable, OEM

Field Notes on PVC Coated Welded Wire Mesh: specs, trends, and real-world use

If you manage fences, cages, or safety perimeters, you know coatings aren’t just cosmetic. The right polymer coat can mean the difference between three seasons and a decade of clean service. Lately the market for PVC Coated Welded Wire Mesh has nudged upward—driven by solar farms, logistics parks, urban landscaping, and frankly, better coating tech. Many buyers tell me they want tidy installs, zero rust bleed, and predictable lead times. Not a lot to ask, but supply chains sometimes disagree.

Technical snapshot (the stuff that matters)

Base wire	Low-carbon steel (≈Q195/SAE1008), pre-galv or hot-dip galv
Mesh opening	12.7×12.7 mm to 100×100 mm (custom on request)
Wire Ø (core + PVC)	Core 1.2–3.5 mm; final Ø ≈1.6–4.2 mm
PVC thickness	≈0.25–0.6 mm (real-world may vary ±0.05 mm)
Colors	Green RAL6005, Black RAL9005, Grey RAL7016, others
Salt-spray benchmark	≥500 h (standard), ≥1,000 h available, ISO 9227
Tensile strength	≈350–550 MPa (wire grade dependent)

How it’s made (quick process flow)

Material: low-carbon steel drawn to gauge; zinc coating per ASTM A641 or EN 10244-2.
Welding: automatic resistance welding, consistent nugget at each intersection.
Surface prep: alkaline clean + rinse; adhesion-promoting primer.
PVC coating: extrusion or fluidized-bed dip; cure and cool for uniform sheath.
Tests: adhesion ASTM D3359; salt spray ISO 9227; gauge/opening checks; bend test.
Expected service life: ≈8–15 years coastal; ≈12–20 years inland, assuming normal maintenance.

Where it works best

Perimeter fencing for logistics parks, farm animal enclosures (no sharp burrs), landscaping dividers, HVAC/compressor guards, construction site safety rails, solar/PV perimeters, and light-duty machine guarding. Many customers say the “simple and firm structure, easy installa…”—yes, installation—keeps labor hours in check.

Customization and QA

Mesh size, wire gauge, color, roll vs. panel, post kits, and branded labels. REACH/RoHS-compliant PVC is now standard for most export buyers; ISO 9001-backed traceability is frankly expected. I guess the surprise is how consistently PVC Coated Welded Wire Mesh holds color under UV in hot climates—good additive packages help.

Vendor comparison (field reality)

Vendor	PVC thickness	Salt spray	Lead time	Certs
Tike Metal (Hebei)	≈0.4–0.6 mm	≥1,000 h (option)	10–20 days	ISO 9001, REACH/RoHS
Regional Trader	≈0.3–0.5 mm	≈500–720 h	20–30 days	ISO 9001
Low-cost Supplier	≈0.25–0.35 mm	≈240–480 h	≈30+ days	—

Two quick case notes

Logistics park, coastal city: 2.1 m green panels, 60×60 mm mesh, 1,000 h salt spray spec. After 18 months: no blistering, minor scuffs only. Supervisor said installation was “shockingly fast.”

Free-range farm, inland: 50×50 mm rolls, reinforced edges. Animals test everything; welds held, zero wires popped. To be honest, that’s the metric that counts.

Buying tips (from too many site walks)

Ask for ISO 9227 salt-spray data and ASTM D3359 adhesion results.
Confirm core wire zinc class and actual PVC thickness (micrometer readings).
For coastal installs, upgrade to thicker PVC and higher zinc; it’s worth it.
Verify pallet/crate packaging; scuffed edges defeat the point of PVC Coated Welded Wire Mesh.
