Introduction to Blue Square Wire Mesh
Blue square wire mesh is a type of galvanized steel mesh coated with a blue polyvinyl chloride (PVC) layer, combining corrosion resistance with visual appeal. The mesh is manufactured through a process that involves welding or weaving galvanized steel wires into square openings, followed by PVC coating. This type of mesh is widely used in construction, screening, and protective applications due to its durability and aesthetic flexibility.
Manufacturing Process
The production of blue square wire mesh involves several stages:
Wire Preparation: Low-carbon steel wire (e.g., Q195) is drawn to precise diameters, typically ranging from 0.15 mm to 4.05 mm, depending on the mesh size.
Galvanization: The wire is galvanized using electro-galvanizing or hot-dip galvanizing to apply a zinc coating, which provides initial corrosion resistance.
Weaving or Welding: The galvanized wires are woven or welded into square openings. Weaving techniques include plain weave, while welding involves resistance welding to create rigid panels.
PVC Coating: The mesh is coated with a blue PVC layer, typically applied through extrusion or spraying. This coating is fuse-bonded to the galvanized wire, enhancing weather resistance and providing a uniform color.
Curing and Finishing: The coated mesh is cured in ovens to ensure adhesion and durability, followed by cutting and rolling into standard or custom sizes.

Screening: Employed in window screens, insect screens, and privacy screens.
Agriculture: Utilized for animal enclosures, poultry farming, and crop protection.
Decorative Applications: Incorporated in architectural designs for facades and interior decor due to its aesthetic appeal5.
Quality Assurance
Factories implement strict quality control measures, including:
Salt spray testing (ASTM B117) to evaluate corrosion resistance.
Tensile strength testing (ASTM E8) to ensure mechanical durability.
Coating adhesion tests (ASTM D3359) to verify PVC bonding.
Dimensional checks to ensure opening uniformity and wire diameter consistency.
Environmental Considerations
Many factories adopt sustainable practices, such as:
Using recycled materials in wire production.
Implementing closed-loop water systems for galvanization.
Reducing VOC emissions during PVC coating processes.
Customization Options
Blue square wire mesh can be customized in terms of:
Color variations (e.g., green, black, red) besides blue.
Mesh size and wire diameter to meet specific load-bearing requirements.
Edge treatments (e.g., hemmed, welded, or reinforced edges) for enhanced safety and installation ease.
