Comparing Coated Gabions: Exploring the Longevity and ...

We all know that there are different kinds of coatings for the gabion box, we may confuse that which kind can suit you well.

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit Zishen.

Let's explore this answer together:

Here are the differences between PVC-coated gabions, silicone-coated gabions, and Poli-mac coated gabions:

  1. PVC-coated gabions: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) coated gabions are wire mesh containers that have been coated with a layer of PVC material. The PVC coating provides corrosion resistance, enhances durability, and improves the aesthetic appearance of the gabions. PVC-coated gabions are commonly used in applications where protection against environmental elements and long-term durability are required.
  2. Silicone-coated gabions: Silicone-coated gabions are wire mesh containers that have been coated with a layer of silicone material. The silicone coating provides excellent weather resistance, UV stability, and long-lasting protection against moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. Silicone-coated gabions are particularly suitable for applications where exposure to harsh environmental conditions is a concern.
  3. Poli-mac coated gabions: Poli-mac coated gabions refer to gabions that have been coated with a specific type of polymer or resin-based coating known as Poli-mac. Poli-mac coatings are designed to enhance the gabions' resistance to wear, corrosion, and weathering. They provide a protective layer that improves the longevity and performance of the gabions in various environments.

In summary, the main differences lie in the coating materials used and the specific properties they provide. PVC-coated gabions offer corrosion resistance and improved durability. Silicone-coated gabions excel in weather resistance and UV stability. Poli-mac-coated gabions provide enhanced protection against wear, corrosion, and weathering. The choice of coated gabion depends on the specific application requirements and the desired properties needed for long-term performance.

Of the three options mentioned, silicone-coated gabions generally have the potential to last for a longer time compared to PVC-coated gabions and Poli-mac-coated gabions. Silicone coatings offer excellent weather resistance, UV stability, and durability against moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. These properties make silicone-coated gabions more resilient to the effects of harsh environmental conditions, leading to an extended lifespan.

PVC-coated gabions also provide good durability and corrosion resistance, but over time, the PVC coating may become prone to degradation and cracking, particularly in areas with high UV exposure or chemical exposure.

Poli-mac coated gabions, depending on the specific polymer or resin used, can provide enhanced resistance to wear, corrosion, and weathering. However, the longevity of Poli-mac coated gabions may vary depending on the quality of the coating and the specific environmental conditions they are exposed to.

It's important to note that the lifespan of any coated gabion structure will also depend on factors such as proper installation, maintenance, and the overall environmental conditions it experiences. Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial to ensuring the long-term performance and longevity of gabion structures, regardless of the coating type.

PVC Coated Gabion - Solid Structure and Colorful Surface

PVC Coated Gabion - Solid Structure and Colorful Surface

As we all know, the galvanized steel wire and zinc-aluminum alloy steel wire can be material of both woven gabions and welded gabions. But the PVC coated steel wire is suitable for woven gabions only. When welding, the PVC coating of steel wire will be melt and falling off on the joint of wires. It is much easier corrosion and rust, so the PVC coated wires are not suitable for the welded gabions. Welded gabions can be used the steel wires or galvanized wires for fabrication and then be treated with PVC coating. In this way, the welded gabions can be also colorful and much more suitable for the decorative applications.

Colorful PVC coated gabions

Compared with other materials of gabions, the features of PVC coated gabion is colorful and ecological. The PVC coated gabion can be made into green, gray and other colors for common applications, it can also be made into orange, black and other various colors for decorative applications.

Solid PVC coated gabions

PVC coated gabion has a rigid and solid structure, which can be double twisted and triple twisted. Double twisted structure is most widely used structure, which is solid enough for common protective applications. In some harsh conditions projects, such as flood control, coastal protection, channeling lining and other projects, the double twisted structure can not satisfy the strength requirements, so you can choose the triple twisted PVC coated gabion. Triple twisted structure makes the gabion a higher strength and stability structure. The high strength can resist the high impact from flood, sea water and other external forces.

Customized PVC coated gabion

  • If you want use the PVC coated gabion in retaining wall, channel linings and slope protection applications, you may need the higher gabions, you can choose the PVC coated gabion box, which has maximum 1.5 meter height. If you need higher, just pile the 1 meter height gabions up for protection.
  • If you need more flexible PVC coated gabions to be used in coastal protection, river bank protection and other project, which need the lower gabions, you can choose the PVC coated gabion mattress. The maximum height of gabion mattress is 0.5 meter and minimum height can be 0.17 m. It is more flexible and easy to operating during using.
