Seaplax wire mesh has proven itself as the finest in the Lobster and Crab trap construction industry and the aquaculture cage construction sector.

Sealax TM Welded Wire Mesh Delivers Verifiable Product Value. Cavatorta high-tensile wire provides strength, durability, and structural integrity to welded wire mesh traps cages and structures. This severe-duty wire mesh is produced from proven and specialized materials. Promoting a longer life Seaplax is the most cost effective solution for harsh marine applications. Cavatorta's Galvafort TM hevy zinc coating is applied using a proprietary double hot-dipped galvanizing process. The Galvafort heavy zinc coating supports long-term corrosion resistance in sea water. Its Cathodic protection is considerably higher than that of galvanized before welding wire mesh. The double hot-dipped Galvafort coating has excellent adhesion to the wire, permitting severe wire bending and forming without cracking the zinc coating, or causing fatigue cracks in the steel wire. A special thermo-set primer is applied over the heavy zinc coating. The primer promotes adhesion between the PVC top-coating and the zinc substrate. This prevents water intrusion between the PVC coating and the galvanized wire and helps to preserve the wire in cases where the PVC may become abraded when storm pounding surges the ocean floor. Cavatorta's Seaplax TM is an outstanding PVC coating that is formulated for marine service. It is applied on-top of the thermos-set primer. Seaplax TM PVC is extremely flexible, cold crack and impact resistant at low temperatures. This marine duty coating is able to withstand continuous immersion in chemicals and salt water. Seaplax TM has superior abrasion resistance, retains its physical properties and color during exposure to severe weather conditions and characteristically has excellent resistance to ultraviolet light. Applications include:Lobster traps, crab traps, aquaculture and general marine applications.
