Black oxide wire rope mesh is a specialized stainless steel mesh. It undergoes a black oxide surface treatment that adds a dark, non-reflective finish, improving both its functionality and aesthetics. This mesh ensures a secure, durable enclosure while blending seamlessly with natural environments.
It then undergoes a black oxide chemical treatment. During the process, the mesh is submerged in a bath containing alkaline salts and oxidizing agents at high temperatures. This creates a black, magnetite (Fe₃O₄) layer that bonds to the surface of the stainless steel.

Reduced Glare and Reflection
The black finish minimizes reflections, making the mesh less noticeable to animals and visitors. This enhances the viewing experience by offering clearer sightlines.
Visual Integration with the Environment
Black oxide mesh blends well with natural landscapes, making the enclosures look cleaner and more natural. It is ideal for zoo enclosures and aviaries where aesthetics matter.
Corrosion Resistance
The black oxide coating offers enhanced protection against rust and corrosion, especially in outdoor environments exposed to rain, sun, and humidity. This extends the life of the mesh.
Scratch Resistance and Durability
The coating improves the mesh’s resistance to wear and scratches, making it suitable for high-impact areas or enclosures with strong animals.
