  • Weight Range (Wire Diameter): 3.0mm – 5.0mm
  • Operating Temperature: Continuous: 200°C | Peak: 250°C (Zinc begins to degrade at higher temps)
  • Resistance:
    • Hydrolysis: Good (Resists rust from moisture)
    • Acids: Poor
    • Alkalis: Good
  • Typical Applications: HVAC systems, humid environments, cement packing, and general outdoor dust collectors.
Description & Usage

Galvanized cages are treated with a layer of zinc to provide sacrificial protection against rust. This makes them ideal for applications where the air may be humid or where the system cycles on and off, potentially causing condensation. While excellent for preventing moisture-based corrosion, they are not recommended for environments with acidic gases.
