Crapal^®

Livespan

The wire lifespan is determined by the lifetime of the coating layer that protects the wire.

Corrosion

• The coating is subject to damages depending on the corrosive potential of the air and on the aggressiveness of the chemicals used for treatments.
• Pioneer in the heavily galvanized wires manufacturing, WireSolutions has invested steadily in the research of new coatings. Today, WireSolutions is well-known worldwide for the quality of its Crapal^® coated wires.

Crapal^®

• Alloy of zinc, aluminium and magnesium.
• Zinc gives an active and sacrificial protection while aluminium provides passive protection in covering zinc and significantly slowing down its sacrificial reaction.

• Magnesium gives to the CrapalOptimum^® coating an even higher resistance to corrosion.

Advantages

• Durable smooth surface
• Increased lifespan
• Concentricity: the required protection is only guaranteed if the protective layer is constant all around the wire.
• Less zinc oxides in the soil.
• CO2 footprint over time.
