Galvanized iron wire is one of the most commonly used wire materials in fencing, gabion mesh, agricultural support, and building construction. Hot-dip galvanized iron wire is widely popular due to its cost-effectiveness and good corrosion resistance; while PVC-coated galvanized iron wire has significant advantages in surface protection and aesthetics.

        Ⅰ. Manufacturing process determines durability

        Hot-dip galvanized iron wire is made by immersing steel wire in a molten zinc bath to form a thick zinc layer. The zinc layer is tightly bonded to the steel base and has excellent sacrificial anode protection. PVC-coated iron wire, on the other hand, is made by coating a layer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic on top of galvanization to form a physical barrier to block moisture and chemical media.

        Ⅱ. Comparison of typical application scenarios

        Hot-dip galvanized iron wire: Used in applications where cost and functionality are paramount, such as gabion mesh, temporary fencing, agricultural supports, and construction tying.

        PVC-coated galvanized iron wire: Used in garden fencing, urban landscaping, coastal engineering, and other fixed installations requiring long-term weather resistance and aesthetics.

        Conclusion

        Hot-dip galvanized iron wire and PVC-coated galvanized iron wire each have their advantages.
