Galfan Gabions, Galfan + PVC Coated Wire Mesh Gabions, Box Gabions Zn and AL Coated
Galfan Gabions, or Galfan Coated Gabions are steel wire mesh gabions woven or welded, specially treated with Zn + AL coating offering an excellent corrosion resistance. Galfan gabions have a better propety than zinc galvanized gabions and are widely used in soil retaining, slope protection, especially for offshore areas and long term uses.
Galfan coating has two types according to coating material ratio: one is 95% zinc and 5% aluminum or 90% zinc and 10% aluminum coating.
GalFan + PVC Coated woven wire mesh gabions, mechanically edged/selvedged
Woven, double twisted, hexgonal shaped steel wire Mesh, (Zn90%+Al10%)+PVC coated
Popular mesh opening applied: 80x100mm.
One diaphragm every one meter (or at 3ft center) is positioned to divide the gabions into cells.
This structure makes the whole gabion flexible and easy to handle.
This type of woven or knitted mesh gabion has selvedge wire and lacing wire for reinforcement. All mesh panel edges are selvedged with a wire having a greater diameter than the woven or knitted wire.
Galfan (95% zinc, 5% aluminum or 90% zinc 10% alum) coating and its benefits:
Galfan gabion gets its name from its wire material: a kind of heavy Galfan soft tempered steel . Compared with traditional galvanized steel gabions with pure zinc coating, Galfan gabion features a heavy zinc – aluminum coating layer which enables an excellent corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance of Galfan gabion doubles that of traditional pure zinc plating.
Wire Material Requirements:
The pvc coating for Galfan Gabions can be checked below (take an example of the 80x100mm galfan gabion), from the changes of the wire diameter before and after coating:
Knitted or woven wire: 3.7mm after PVC coating (2.7mm heavy Galfan before pvc coating)
Selvedge wire: 4.2mm after PVC coating (3.2mm heavy Galfan before pvc coating)
Lacing wire: 3.2mm after PVC coating (2.2mm heavy Galfan before pvc coating)
Zinc plating or galvanization required for the Galfan Gabions:
Galvanization on Kitted & Lacing wire: Heavy GALFAN (ZnAL) min 245gr/m2
Galvanization on Selvedge wire: Heavy GALFAN (ZnAL) min 255gr/m2
The steel wire used in the manufacturing of the gabion is heavily galfan( [Zn-5 Al-MM] alloy) coated soft temper steel. A PVC coating is then applied to provide additional protection for use in polluted, contaminated or aggressive environments: in salt, fresh water, acid soil or wherever the risk of corrosion is present. The PVC coating has a nominal thickness of 0.50 mm to 1.00mm. Galfan plus PVC coating gabions, also simplified as Galfan gabions, are strong and durable for long term uses.
Aerct Gabiony Factory
Activity: Aerct Gabiony Factory
Aerct Gabiony Factory is a customer-driven producer and exporter of gabions and related wire netting products with good performance. Our factory is mainly engaged in box gabions mesh: gabions is made of low-carbon steel wire with high corrosion resistance, high strength and ductility or PVC-coated steel wire by mechanical weaving, and the box structure made of this net is gabion net cage. According to ASTM and EN standards, the diameter of low-carbon steel wire used varies according to engineering design requirements. Generally between 2.0-4.0mm, the tensile strength of gabion mesh steel wire is not less than 38kg/m2, the weight of metal coating is generally higher than 245g/m2, and the diameter of edge line of gabion mesh is generally larger than that of mesh wire. The length of the twisted part of the double wire shall not be less than 50mm to ensure that the metal coating and PVC coating of the twisted steel wire are not damaged. Utilizing a team approach, Aerct delivers excellent customer services and products including but not limited to: hexagonal wire netting, welded mesh gabions, woven hexagonal gabions, gabions baskets, gabion boxes, mattress, flexible soft hillside protection wire mesh gabions as well as other gabion systems. Aerct teams work with customers to standardize a manufacturing process, and deliver products and technical services as needed. As supplier of wire mesh gabions, Aerct is recognized as a one leader in quality and innovation. ISO 9001 certified in 1998. Welcome to contact us.
