Fused Bonded
What does “Fused Bonded” mean?
Fused bonding is the process where PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is thermally fused to a core steel wire to not only protect it, but also to create an outer layer with color. In other words, the fused bonding process literally bakes the PVC onto the wire.
The PVC-coated wire is then woven into a chain link fence of various mesh sizes, heights, and colors. The PVC-coating on fused bonded wire is thinner than extruded bonded wire (the other type of PVC-coated wire), yet it is tougher and more resistant to peeling.
Swan Fence has the below six standard colors available, and we are also able to match any custom color to satisfy our customers.
