Razor Wire Types Explained: CBT-60 vs BTO-22 — Which One Should You Choose?

Updated: Nov 10


BTO 17 cocertina razor wire in Europe

Introduction



When choosing razor barbed wire, buyers — from construction companies to industrial facilities — frequently ask:


What is the difference between CBT-60 and BTO-22 razor wire, and which one is better for my project?


Both are effective perimeter security solutions. However, selecting the correct blade type directly impacts:


  • security level,

  • deterrence factor,

  • cost,

  • visual appearance.



This guide explains the difference between CBT-60 and BTO-22, including the best use cases for each.




What Is Razor Barbed Wire?



Razor wire is a high-security fencing material made of steel wire reinforced with sharp metal blades. It is intentionally designed to make climbing or cutting extremely difficult and dangerous.


Razor wire is commonly used for:


  • Construction site protection

  • Industrial facility perimeters

  • Warehouses and logistics hubs

  • Agriculture and remote land security

  • Military facilities and high-security zones



Concertina razor wire is available in different coil diameters (450 mm, 610 mm, 730 mm, 980 mm), but the blade typedetermines security level and aggressiveness.




CBT-60 Razor Wire (High-Security Razor Wire)



CBT-60 means Concertina Barbed Tape, 60 mm blade length.


Characteristics:


  • Large and aggressive razor blades (60 mm)

  • Designed to stop determined intrusion attempts

  • Difficult to cut without specialized tools

  • Used in double or triple coil (military-grade barrier)



Typical use cases:


  • Critical infrastructure

  • Military and government assets

  • Border zones

  • High-risk industrial locations

  • Remote facilities storing expensive assets



Summary: Maximum deterrence and maximum security.




BTO-22 Razor Wire (Standard Security Razor Wire)



BTO-22 means Barbed Tape Obstacle, 22 mm blade length.


Characteristics:


  • Smaller blade profile (22 mm)

  • Compact and visually cleaner

  • Suitable for commercial and private properties

  • Cost-effective without compromising effectiveness



Typical use cases:


  • Warehouses and commercial yards

  • Residential boundary walls

  • Farms and agricultural perimeter fencing

  • Factories and logistics zones



Summary: Security with a cleaner and less aggressive appearance.

Which Razor Wire Should You Choose?



Use this simple rule:


Choose CBT-60 when security is the absolute priority.

Choose BTO-22 when aesthetics and cost efficiency also matter.


If unsure, choose BTO-22 — it fits most standard commercial use cases.




Material Quality and Coating



Durability depends on steel and coating quality. At BarrierPro, all razor wire is produced with:


  • High-carbon steel core wire (for strength)

  • Hot-dip galvanization or Zn-Al coating (corrosion resistance)

  • Precision-stamped razor blades (consistent cutting profile)



This ensures long lifespan even in harsh environments such as coastal regions, industrial zones, or remote climates.




Installation Options



Razor wire can be mounted on:


  • Chain-link fencing

  • Welded mesh fencing

  • Boundary walls

  • Temporary fencing



For the strongest perimeter, the recommended setup is:


Fence + barbed arm + concertina coil on top
