Aluminized Steel Chain Link Fence Fabric provide exceptional security and protection in commercial, industrial, institutional, recreational, and highway applications.

That's because aluminized chain link exhibits superior corrosion-, rust-, and fire-resistance. The result is longer fence life with minimal maintenance.

"Aluminizing" Makes Durable
Aluminized Steel Chain Link Fabric is manufactured by coating drawn steel wire with commercially pure aluminum using a hot-dip process. The wire is then woven into chain link fabric.

After weaving, the cut ends of the wire are coated with a clear, acrylic lacquer, to help retard formation of rust.

The patented aluminizing process produces an exceptionally smooth coating that is bonded to the steel wire.

Aluminized fence fabric is sealed and protected from the corrosive effects of water, snow, wind, sun, salt spray, and pollution, iit continues to provide protection year after year after year!

In contrast, galvanized fence fabric is dipped in zinc after it is woven. This method creates zinc drips which become "needle points," very sharp cones that are dangerous and unsightly. Galvanizing after weaving also creates fused joints where wire crosses wire. These joints break when the fabric is erected, exposing raw steel -- rusting begins immediately.

Aluminum has the unique quality of forming its own protective oxide film immediately upon exposure to the atmosphere. This oxide film, which is not water soluble, protects the material from further oxidation. If the film is removed by abrasion, it immediately re-forms and continues to protect the material.

Should the aluminum coating be abraded or otherwise removed, exposing the bare steel, a unique "healing" action takes place -- the aluminum oxide migrates over the exposed steel, preventing any progression of rust!

ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) is conducting an ongoing study comparing the effects of various environments on aluminized and galvanized steel fence fabrics. Test sites are located throughout the country in every type of environment... from rural to industrial to seaside.

The results? After 20 years, in every location, aluminized steel fence fabric stood the test of time, remain smooth, safe, and virtually rust-free. Galvanized fence fabric, on the other hand, pitted, rusted through, and corroded.

To accommodate your secific fencing needs, aluminized fence fabric is available in a wide selection of heights -- from 36" to 240". It is available in 6, 9, and 11 gage.

Meets Various ASTM, Federal and State Specifications
