ASTM F668 PVC coated chain link fence with 6 ga wire extruded and bonded
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Basic Use:
Fused and adhered fabric is a bonded vinyl, high strength galvanized steel,chain link fence fabric for industrial,commercial and institutional application.Fused and adhered fabric is used in numerous federal, state, civil,and military specifications.
Composition and Materials:The galvanized steel core wire for producing fused and adhered PVC coated steel chain link fence fabric is produc ed by c old - drawing good commercial grade steel rod into wire of the appropriate diameter. The steel rod from whic h t he wire is drawn is produced by the open hearth, electric furnace or basic oxygen process. The galvanized coating is produced by passing the cleaned wire through a bath of molten zinc which conforms to ASTM B6.
The fused and adhered PVC coating is produced by first applying a thermo-set bonding agent to the galvanized core wire to which the PVC is bonded. A coating of PVC up to 0.010 in. (0.25 mm) is then fused and bonded to the wire.

TECHNICAL DATA
General:
The manufacturer can supply samples and certification that all materials furnished fully comply with the required specifications.
Chain Link Fence Fabric:
The base metal of the chain link fence fabric is composed of commercial quality, medium-carbon galvanized (zinc coated) steel wire. The vinyl coating is thermally bonded to a thermoset bonding primer over a galvanized steel wire. This process ensures a bonded coating free of voids, as well as smooth surface appearance. The wire is PVC coated before weaving and is free and flexible at all joints.Unless otherwise specified, fabric woven in 2in. (50 mm) mesh, under 72" (1,830 mm) in height, is knuckled at both selvages; fabric 72"(1,830mm) high and over is knuckled at one selvage and twisted at the other. All fabrics woven into meshes under 2 in. (50 mm)have both selvages knuckled.
Wire Coating:
Only plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)with a low temperature (-20 °C; -4°F)plasticizer and no extenders or extraneous matter other than the necessary stabilizers and pigments, is used. The PVC coating resist sattack from dilute solutions of most common mineral acids, seawater, and dilute
solutions of most salts and alkali.
ASTM Color System:
Standard colors conform to ASTM F934 and
include:
Ensor
Green Brown B lack
Other colors are available by special order.
Coating Adhesion: The PVC coated wire
shall pass the test for adhesion contained
in ASTM F668 for Class 2B chain link fabric.
