Modern specifications usually comprise a sequential coating application of paints or alternatively paints applied over metal coatings to form a âduplexâ coating system. The protective paint systems usually consist of primer, undercoat(s) and finish coats.
Hardware cloth comes in 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-foot rollsâwith 3â² and 4â² being the most common â and in roll lengths anywhere from 5, 25, 50 to 100 feet. The mesh is made by weaving or welding steel wires together, then hot-dipping it in zinc (galvanizing it) to protect it from rust.
Metals are good conductors of electric charge, while plastics, wood, and rubber are not. Theyre called insulators. Charge does not flow nearly as easily through insulators as it does through conductors, which is why wires you plug into a wall socket are covered with a protective rubber coating.
