How is Centaur HTP® fencing made?
Our proprietary fencing product is a flexible High Tensile Polymer(HTP) material that is a blend of impact modifiers, UV stabilizers, and anti-fungicides. Formulated for strength, durability and appearance under any temperature and climatic conditions, HTP® fencing material is color-fast, stain resistant and mildew resistant. Centaur HTP® withstands temperature conditions from -40°F to 200°F without becoming brittle or experiencing any kind of polymer breakdown. Centaur HTP® is mechanically bonded* to a steel wire or wires(see Centaur Products for details). Mechanical bonding means that the wire and polymer are joined during manufacture. As the polymer is cooled, it shrinks tightly around the wires. This creates a natural link between wire and polymer, while allowing each to expand and contract in temperature changes without pulling and degrading the polymer. *A mechanically bonded fence will last much longer than a molecularly bonded fence. A molecular bond occurs when another chemica
