Acrylic Coated Glass Fibre Mesh - Structural Reinforcement

Glass Fibre Mesh - Multi-Purpose Reinforcement Fabric

VITCAS Glass Fibre Mesh is a versatile construction fabric coated with acrylic resin. Known for its water resistance, alkali resistance, and ageing resistance, it is suitable for both internal and external applications. This mesh provides excellent reinforcement for concrete, plaster, and renders, helping to prevent cracking caused by structural movement and environmental stress. Available in rolls, it can be used as reinforcement for HB60 Adhesive or Vitcas Heat Resistant Plaster. Size: Mesh 5x5mm; 1m width.

Benefits

• Waterproof and Alkali Resistant: The acrylic coating makes the mesh resistant to moisture and alkaline substances, enhancing its durability in construction settings.
• Flexible: The mesh's elasticity allows it to adapt to surfaces subject to movement, without compromising the structure's integrity.
• Tear and Age Resistance: Its robustness ensures it withstands tearing and ageing, offering long-term reinforcement in various applications.
• Crack Prevention: Reinforces structures to reduce the occurrence of cracks from thermal expansion, settling, or shrinkage.
• Eco-Efficiency: Its glass fibre reinforcement and acrylic acid copolymer liquid composition ensure a high level of durability and performance, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements. Ideal for reinforcing uneven masonry substrates, as it prevents cracking and extends the life of the structure, resulting in less material waste.

Applications

• Fireplace Construction: Used with insulation boards and heat accumulation boards, providing structural reinforcement and improving thermal stability in fireplace construction.
• Insulation Systems: Integral to external wall insulation systems, preventing cracks in renders and enhancing structural durability.
• Plaster and Concrete Reinforcement: Strengthens plaster, screeds, and concrete in high-stress environments to prevent cracking.
• Tile Adhesive and Mosaic Reinforcement: Ensures stability in tile adhesives and mosaic applications, preventing movement and damage over time.
• GRC (Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete): Strengthens GRC structures, improving longevity and performance in precast concrete and architectural panels.
