Barbed wire of all types of the Caiman Production Group will be made on the basis of galvanized steel wire, manufactured according to EN 50189 instead of wire, which was made according to GOST 9850-72 and GOST 7372-79. As the leading Ukrainian producers of wire switch to the production of wire that meets European standards, we use wire that also meets international and European standards in the production.
For the production of modern razor wire, two main characteristics of the wire are important – this is the temporary tensile strength and the thickness of the zinc coating applied by hot galvanizing. For this reason, we demand from wire manufacturers not only its compliance with EN 50189, but also the stability of the critical characteristics of the wire. Since galvanized steel wire is the basis of all types of barbed wire we produce, its high quality is a very important criterion that determines the quality of the barbed wire and security barriers we produce.
To obtain high-quality and durable razor wire, a temporary tensile strength of at least 1600 N/mm2, as well as a zinc coating of 80 g/m2 for a wire with a diameter of up to 2.8 mm, and a zinc coating of at least 100 g/m2 for a wire with a diameter of 2.8 are necessary mm and more. When purchasing steel galvanized wire, it is accompanied by documents from the manufacturer confirming compliance with these parameters, in addition, we selectively conduct an independent check of the wire for compliance with our needs.
