Razor wire is a metal mesh security facility with high-strength protective performance. It is made of sharp blade-shaped metal sheets and steel wire (or galvanized iron wire) alternately wound and welded, and the surface is usually galvanized to enhance corrosion resistance. Its dense and sharp blade structure can effectively prevent climbing and crossing, and is widely used in prisons, border defenses, factories, warehouses, and other places that require high-strength security, playing a deterrent and protective role. Wanzhi Steel is a professional manufacturer of razor wire, providing all models and supporting customization. If you are interested, please contact us.

Razor wire market price analysis

Price Influencing Factors

(1) Material type: $2.10-$11.90/meter, from galvanized steel to stainless steel.

(2) Blade specification: ±30%, BTO-12 is about 25% lower than BTO-22.

(3) Surface treatment: $0.70-$2.80/meter, plastic coating is 40% more expensive than galvanized because plastic coating provides double protection.

(4) Order quantity: 5%-15% discount, different discounts for 10,000-meter orders and 1,000-meter orders.

(5) Logistics cost: $0.28-$1.12/meter, sea/land transportation differences.

Material cost

Steel core material comparison

(1) Ordinary galvanized steel (Q195): Base price: $730/ton, lifespan: 5-8 years (inland areas).

(2) High-strength steel (65Mn): Base price: $950/ton, tensile strength is 40% higher than that of ordinary carbon steel.

(3) 304 stainless steel: Base price: $2,590/ton, super corrosion resistance, depending on the type of stainless steel, such as 201, 304, 316, etc.

 

Surface treatment cost

Electrogalvanizing

Galvanizing by electrolysis has a certain anti-rust effect and a silvery-white appearance. The cost is relatively low, and the processing fee will generally increase by tens to more than one hundred dollars per ton. For example, according to supplier information, the processing fee of 220mm electrogalvanized razor wire is about $100-120/ton.

Hot-dip galvanizing

The razor wire is immersed in molten zinc liquid for galvanizing, which has better corrosion resistance than electrogalvanizing and is suitable for harsh environments such as outdoor. The cost is higher than electroplating, and the price varies depending on the thickness of the zinc layer. The processing fee per ton is $150-250 or even higher.

Plastic coating

Plastics such as PVC or PE are coated on the surface of the razor wire. There are many colors to choose from. It is not only rust-proof and beautiful, but also can buffer the sharpness of the blade. The price varies depending on the coating thickness and the plastic material, and the processing fee per ton ranges from $100 to 200.

Plastic spraying

Also called powder spraying, it uses static electricity to adsorb plastic powder on the surface of the razor wire. The surface is glossy and beautiful, waterproof, and has good anti-corrosion ability. Common colors include blue, grass green, and dark green. The price is similar to that of plastic coating, about US$100-200/ton.

Advantage

Efficient protection and deterrence

The sharp blade design can effectively block intruders, and at the same time has a strong psychological deterrent effect, significantly reducing the risk of breakthroughs, and is suitable for military bases, prisons, and other places.

Economical and durable, flexible installation

The cost is lower than that of electronic security systems, and the material is corrosion-resistant and durable; it can be used independently or combined with walls and fences to adapt to different terrains.

Low maintenance and rapid deployment

No power support is required, maintenance is simple; support is prefabrication or on-site rapid installation, suitable for emergency security needs, such as temporary isolation or border protection.

Diverse types, widely applicable

Provides a variety of forms such as spiral, flat, accordion, etc., to meet the security needs of military, industrial areas, and private residences.

Strong compatibility, legal and compliant

It can be used with monitoring and alarm systems, and meets the security regulations of most regions.

Engineering procurement decision model

Cost-effectiveness calculation formula

Total cost of ownership = (product unit price × usage) + (installation fee × complexity coefficient) + (expected number of replacements × disassembly and reinstallation fee)

Note: High-end products can reduce the number of replacements to 0.

 

Security level selection recommendations

(1) Ordinary fence: BTO-10, BTO-12, galvanized, $2.10-$3.10/m.

(2) Oil and gas facilities: CBT-65, BTO-22, hot-dip galvanizing + plastic coating or 304 stainless steel is recommended, $28+/m.

(3) Prison perimeter: CBT-100, BTO-30, hot-dip galvanizing + Teflon coating, $16.80+/m.

(4) Military restricted area: CBT-120, CBT-65, BTO-40, 316 stainless steel is recommended, $8.40-$11.90/m.
