Zinc aluminum alloly wire is also called galfan wire; it is with 5% or 10% aluminum in the zinc coating to get a better corrosion resistance property.

The wire used to manufacture double twisted gabion wire mesh is soft annealed, mild steel wire provided with heavy zinc coating as per EN 10244/ASTM A 641 to prevent corrosion. In case of use in aggressive environments, it is further extruded with 0.5mm thick PVC Coating. The PVC coating is UV stabilized as per ASTM A 975.

Selvedge / Edge wire which is a thicker and heavier wire is used to reinforce the edges and transverse diaphragm. It gives greater rigidity and shape to the Gabion Basket.

The possibilities of the mesh coating:
Galfan coating (Zn-5%Al-MM)

APPLICATION AREAS:
Erosion control
Riverbank and bed control
Erosion control of riverbank and water reservoirs
Landfill recultivation

We always supply 3% lacing wire along with the material, which are used to assemble and interconnect empty units, to close and secure stone-filled units, and for internal stiffeners. Other options are available, such as fasteners, stiffeners, hog rings.
