Razor Wire Coil

Razor Wire Coil

Razor Wire Coils are made of high tensile razor wire, clapped into a flat panel formation.The multiple blades of a razor wire fence are designed to inflict serious cuts on anyone attempting to climb through and therefore have a strong psychological deterrent effect. In many high-security applications, barbed tape supplanted barbed wire, which could be circumvented relatively quickly by humans with tools, while penetrating razor wire barriers without tools is very slow and difficult, giving security forces more time to respond. Razor wire contains a core hardened steel strip that is often under tension, so if cut, it strikes the cutter.

Razor-wire has a central strand of high tensile strength wire, and a steel tape punched into a shape with barbs. The steel tape is then cold-crimped tightly to the wire everywhere except for the barbs. Barbed tape is very similar, but has no central reinforcement wire.

Like barbed wire, barbed tape is available as either straight wire or spiral concertina wire. Unlike barbed wire, which usually is available only as plain steel or galvanized, barbed tape is also manufactured in stainless steel, to prevent the points from rusting to bluntness. 

Typically the core wire is galvanized and the tape is stainless, although fully stainless barbed tape is used for expensive permanent installations or under water.

Barbed tape is also characterized by the shape of the barbs. Although there are no formal definitions, typically short barb barbed tape has barbs from 10 mm to 15 mm long, medium barb tape has barbs 20 mm to 25 mm long, and long barb tape has barbs from 60 to 66 mm long. There does not seem to be much available research to indicate whether longer barbs are actually more effective in resisting penetration, but they provide a stronger psychological deterrent.

Concertina Razor Barbed Wire

Concertina Razor Wire has continuous spirals which are fasten two razor wire loops together at various intervals with clips. Concertina cross type razor wire enjoys good appearance, practical use and can ensure stronger protection. Razor barbed wire, also called as the razor stinging, razor wire, is a new type of fence. Razor barbed wire with beautiful, economical and practical,good prevention effect, convenient construction and other excellent characteristics. It can be made into different crossed type in different diameter and widely used in high wall Or bounding wall, it has good effect on insulating and protecting.

Installation Forms

Flat wrap coils can be used in the following forms:

Installed against the existing smooth wire mesh fence;

Fitted to the welded mesh fence;

Fitted by overlapping the fence mesh;

Installed to the brick wall directly.

Areas That May Require Razor Wire Coils

Restricted areas

Country borders

Prison barriers

Detention camps

Riot control

Razor Wire Coils specification:

Concertina wires are coiled razor wires formed in coils. They are different from barbed wires. Barbed wires are fencing wires with sharp edges spaced out at regular intervals, and are economical options for inexpensive security fences. On the other hand, concertina wire fencing is more sophisticated, rigid and can potentially cause more severe injuries. As a result, concertina wires are used to make razor mesh fencing for high-security purposes, like military bases, prisons and electrical substations.

Because of the welding process, high quality and strength, the price of concertina wires are higher than barbed wires. Precision and skill are required for installation of concertina wires due to the sharp blades present and high tensile nature.

Razor Wire Coils have many circles. Tie every two adjacent circles by clips, and a spiral razor wire is created. The clips one circle needed is depended on the diameter of the circle. Generally speaking, the diameter of an opening circle would be 5-10% less than its original size.

Circles of spiral razor wire cross each other, leaving no space for a person or middle-sized animals. Spiral razor wire improves security level. Hence, it is widely used in boundary, residential and commercial places, prison and institutions.

Galvanized razor wire has good resistance to all weathers, corrosion and acid rains. For years, silvery appearance will remain for a long time.
