Apr 14, 2026

There are many misunderstandings about 10% zinc-aluminum alloy gabion mesh, such as "it's just regular galvanized mesh with a different name" or "it's not worth the extra cost." Today we clarify these wrong ideas to help you make the right purchasing decision.

Myth 1: 10% zinc-aluminum alloy coating is no different from traditional pure zinc coating.

Fact: 10% zinc-aluminum alloy is an internationally advanced coating that replaces traditional pure zinc. Tests prove its corrosion resistance is more than 3 times that of traditional pure galvanized coating.

Myth 2: Long service life claims for zinc-aluminum alloy gabion mesh are exaggerated.

Fact: Gabion boxes woven from zinc-aluminum alloy wire have a service life of about 70–80 years, three times longer than ordinary galvanized steel wire. It is widely used in long-term hydraulic and slope protection projects.

Myth 3: Zinc-aluminum alloy gabion mesh does not meet national standards.

Fact: Our zinc-aluminum alloy steel wire fully complies with the national standard GB/T 20492-2006, with stable performance and reliable quality.
