Fiberglass mesh is used as a reinforcement material for exterior wall insulation surfaces. Its primary functions are:
Improving the mechanical strength of the surface layer, ensuring the resistance continuity of the finishing layer, distributing shrinkage pressure and insulation stresses in the surface layer, avoiding stress concentration, and resisting cracking caused by natural temperature and humidity fluctuations and accidental impact. Therefore, alkali-resistant fiberglass mesh plays a crucial role in exterior insulation systems, making quality fiberglass mesh an essential component in ensuring the overall quality of these systems.
Alkali-resistant fiberglass mesh for interior wall insulation is made from a medium-alkali or alkali-free fiberglass mesh base coated with a modified acrylic copolymer adhesive.
It features lightweight, high-strength, heat and alkali-resistant, water-resistant, corrosion-resistant, crack-resistant, and dimensional stability. It effectively prevents surface tension shrinkage of the render layer and cracking caused by external forces. This lightweight mesh is often used for wall renovations and interior wall insulation.
Advantages of Alkali-Resistant Fiberglass Mesh: Compared to conventional alkali-free and medium-alkali glass fibers, alkali-resistant glass fiber offers significant advantages: superior alkali resistance, high tensile strength, and exceptional corrosion resistance in cement and other highly alkaline media. It is an irreplaceable reinforcement material for glass fiber reinforced cementitious materials (GRC).
Alkali-resistant glass fiber is the base material for glass fiber reinforced cement (GRC). With the advancement of wall renovation and economic development, GRC has been widely used in a variety of applications, including interior and exterior building wall panels, insulation panels, air duct panels, garden ornaments, artistic sculptures, and civil engineering. It can be used to create products and components that are difficult or impossible to achieve with reinforced concrete. It can be used in non-load-bearing, secondary load-bearing, and semi-load-bearing building components, decorative pieces, and agricultural and animal husbandry facilities.
Alkali-resistant glass fiber mesh is made from medium-alkali and alkali-free glass fiber mesh, post-treated with acrylic copolymer adhesive. This mesh features high strength, excellent alkali and acid resistance, strong resin adhesion, and is easily soluble in styrene, with excellent stiffness and positioning properties. It is primarily used as a reinforcement for cement, plastic, asphalt, roofing, and walls. It is primarily used for GRC pre-laying, coating, or mechanized forming, and is particularly suitable for on-site exterior wall insulation projects.
