Powder Coated Wire Mesh
Colour-Coated Aluminium Mesh
Overview
Powder coated aluminium wire mesh offers enhanced aesthetics combined with superior corrosion and UV resistance — ideal for architectural, decorative and outdoor screening applications requiring a durable colour finish
Avoid sharp abrasives to protect the coating surface

Properties
Manufacturing Process
Step 1
Wire Drawing & Mesh Weaving
Aluminium wire drawn and woven or welded into mesh panels as per standard specifications.
Step 2
Surface Cleaning
Mesh panels degreased and cleaned with alkaline wash to remove oils, oxides and surface contaminants before coating.
Step 3
Chemical Pre-treatment
Chromate or chrome-free conversion coating applied to enhance adhesion and provide a corrosion-inhibiting base layer.
Step 4
Powder Application
Electrostatically charged powder paint is sprayed onto the mesh, ensuring uniform coverage on all wire surfaces and intersections.
Step 5
Curing Oven
Coated mesh passes through a curing oven at 180–200 °C for 15–20 minutes, fusing the powder into a smooth, hard film.
Step 6
Inspection & Packaging
Coating thickness (60–80 μm), adhesion, and colour uniformity checked per panel; salt spray tested; rolls or sheets packaged for dispatch.
