The environment razor wire is being deployed in may determine whether Stainless Steel or Galvanized is the best option. Stainless Steel is more expensive, but offers greater durability especially in salt air environments. Over time Stainless Steel will outlast Galvanized, therefore making it the best long term option. However, Galvanized is more than adequate for most UK regions and applications.
At Citti Mesh, we provide razor wire of different materials for various application environments. How to choose the right razor wire material for your application environment? Essentially, it largely depends on the chemical and physical properties of the material. Here, we briefly introduce the material properties we can provide for reference and help you select materials correctly and quickly.
Hot-dip galvanized razor wire
Hot dip galvanizing is done by passing the steel through a zinc bath at high temperature for surface treatment, coating the steel with a layer of zinc as a barrier between the steel and the environment, increasing the corrosion resistance of the product. The surface is hot-dip galvanized, the rust and anti-corrosion effect is quite good, and the service life is more than ten years. Hot-dip galvanized razor wire is generally used in the safety protection of residential, factory, government agencies, schools and outdoor leisure places for rural and urban residents who do not require high aesthetics and dry environments.
Stainless steel razor wire
Stainless steel has corrosion resistance and heat resistance, which mainly depends on its alloy composition and internal structure. The main elements are chromium and nickel. The 304 stainless steel razor wire containing chromium and nickel elements has very good corrosion resistance in a dry environment; while the 316 stainless steel material with molybdenum elements can further improve atmospheric corrosion, especially the chloride-containing atmosphere. Corrosion, so 316 stainless steel razor wire is suitable for chemical industrial areas and coastal areas with serious pollution and corrosion.
