Hot Dip Galvanized Wire has a thicker zinc coating (30–50 g/m²) applied through molten zinc immersion, making it highly resistant to corrosion and suitable for outdoor applications. Electro Galvanized Wire, on the other hand, has a thinner coating (10–20 g/m²) applied by electroplating, giving it a smooth and glossy finish but with less corrosion resistance.
Hot Dip Galvanized Wire lasts significantly longer – 10 to 25 years outdoors, depending on exposure conditions. Electro Galvanized Wire usually lasts 1 to 5 years, making it better for indoor or low-exposure applications.
● Fencing (agriculture & boundaries)
● Gabion mesh & chain link mesh
● Highway barriers
● Electrical earthing
● Submersible cable armoring
● Vineyard & greenhouse trellis wire
● Construction binding wire (for TMT rebars)
● Wire mesh, welded mesh, and fine wire products
● Staples, stitching wire, and nails
● Light-duty cable armoring
● Indoor crafts and packaging
Electro Galvanized Wire is more cost-effective due to its lower zinc usage and thin coating, making it ideal for short-term or indoor projects. Hot Dip Galvanized Wire costs more but provides long-term savings because of its durability and reduced maintenance.
● If you need long-term corrosion protection and are working on outdoor or heavy-duty projects →
choose Hot Dip Galvanized Wire.
● If you need smooth finish, budget-friendly wire for light indoor use → choose Electro Galvanized
Wire.
Yes, both Hot Dip and Electro Galvanized wires are manufactured in a wide range of gauges (SWG/BWG) and diameters (0.90 mm – 6 mm or more) to suit diverse applications.
Yes, Hot Dip Galvanized Wire is the industry standard for earthing/grounding due to its high conductivity, durability, and superior corrosion resistance.
