Black Galfan PVC Coated Rockfall Netting in Production for Germany Slope Protection Project

Black Galfan rockfall netting with PVC coating is currently in production for a slope protection project in Germany. The product is supplied as double twisted hexagonal PVC coated rockfall netting rolls, with 80x100mm mesh size and 3x25m roll size.

This order uses Galfan coated steel wire as the base wire, with a black PVC coating on the outside. The Galfan layer provides the metallic corrosion protection base, while the PVC layer gives the finished roll its black surface and adds an outer protective layer.

Product Specification

For PVC coated rockfall netting, wire diameter is usually stated as both the inner steel wire diameter and the coated outside diameter. In this order, 2.7/3.7mm means the mesh wire has a 2.7mm base wire diameter and an approximately 3.7mm outside diameter after PVC coating. The 3.4/4.4mm selvedge wire follows the same reading. For a more detailed explanation, see inner wire diameter in PVC coated rockfall netting.

Slope protection projects in Germany are generally outdoor exposure applications. During use, rockfall netting may be affected by rain, humidity, seasonal low temperatures, freeze-thaw cycles, slope runoff and contact with rock surfaces. If the installation area is close to roads or railways, de-icing salt and traffic-related pollutants may also increase the corrosion pressure on the metal protection layer.

For this reason, the Galfan + PVC coated structure gives the roll both a metallic coating base and an outer PVC coating layer.
