E-Glass Fiber Mesh

E-Glass Fiber Mesh, also known as EFM™ fiberglass mesh, is composed of E-type glass fibers that have been woven together using a specialized technique. Using E fibers to produce this mesh provides it with exceptional tensile strength, electrical resistance, flexibility, and adhesion. Additionally, E fibers’ affordability and widespread availability make this fiberglass mesh a highly economical choice. However, it is important to note that E fiberglass mesh is unsuitable for wall posts in alkaline and acid environments, unlike AR fiberglass mesh, specifically designed for such conditions. Nonetheless, EFM™ fiberglass mesh exhibits impressive tensile and compressive strength.

In the construction and retrofitting industry, EFM™ fiberglass mesh is widely regarded as an ideal product. It finds extensive use in implementing FRP wall posts and FRCM composite systems, stabilizing walls and controlling cracks, and incorporating carbon fibers and glass. It is particularly effective in preventing the corrosion of non-load-bearing walls.


PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Fiberglass mesh is used to reinforce various surfaces in different types of buildings. This mesh strengthens the damp-proof course for slabs and ceilings and supports unstable external surfaces and aiding in crack prevention. The mesh is made from glass fiber strands that provide exceptional strength when placed in a wet base layer. Fiberglass mesh is also used for creating mechanically strong filler coatings with unique properties.
Fiberglass mesh belongs to the category of FRP meshes. It is made from C or E-type glass fibers (silicate-based materials with good chemical stability) using a specific weaving technique. After surface treatment, this fiberglass mesh exhibits excellent alkaline resistance and outstanding properties such as water resistance, alkaline resistance, flexibility, softness, and resistance to deterioration. It is widely used to reinforce walls, natural marble, plasterboard, artificial stone materials, and exterior insulation systems.

Reasons for choosing fiberglass reinforcing mesh in buildings:

  •  Fiberglass mesh has excellent resistance to acids, alkaline substances, and other chemicals and performs exceptionally well in reinforcing various building surfaces.
  •  Fiberglass mesh has high tensile strength. Therefore, reinforcing wall plastering or cementing uniformly disperses external and internal stresses in the wall system, preventing damage.

What are the advantages of fiberglass mesh?

  •  It prevents the occurrence of cracks due to its good resistance to chemical corrosion and high tensile and weft strength.
  •  Distortion in the system resulting from heavy impact is minimized as stress is evenly distributed in different directions.
  •  High-strength fiberglass mesh fabric can reinforce and protect the stone. It can easily be applied on the back of marble, mosaic, and stone surfaces.

What is an anti-crack fiberglass mesh?

Cracks on the surface of concrete and various other spaces can pose numerous problems for a structure. Cracks caused by earthquakes and vibrations can have even more significant risks. This is where the role of a vibrant glass fiber mesh becomes more prominent. Anti-crack fiberglass is one type of mesh that can be used to address cracks due to its unique structure and physical properties.

These meshes are made from the same glass fibers and have a similar structure to a fiberglass mesh. However, to enhance the elasticity of these meshes, a particular layer of additives is applied to their outer surface, which significantly affects the improvement of their mechanical properties.

With these additives in the structure of the mesh and fiberglass, they can be used for strengthening various spaces. One of the advantages of an anti-crack fiberglass mesh is its high resistance to alkaline environments. Additionally, these meshes are highly resistant to weather conditions, moisture, sudden and gradual temperature changes, and more. Therefore, they can efficiently act as a preventive measure against various building cracks. Ultimately, it can be said that an anti-crack fiberglass mesh is a special type of mesh that, due to its good mechanical properties, can contribute to the reinforcement of structures and buildings.

What is fiberglass stone lace?

One of the applications of fiberglass mesh is using behind stones. Due to their specific application, these meshes are also known as fiberglass stone backing meshes. These meshes comprise thin composite threads made of glass fibers and polymers. The use of stone lace meshes is highly significant for reinforcing building stones. Therefore, in most factories producing building stones, these meshes are placed behind the stones using epoxy resins.

The advantage of using stone lace meshes is increasing the physical strength of these stones. Additionally, these meshes enhance the adhesion of stones during their building installation. They also help reduce the risk of stone breakage due to sudden impacts. Furthermore, these meshes increase the resistance of stones to various chemicals and conditions. Therefore, many factories utilize these meshes for their stones.

What is a Wall Post with fiberglass mesh?

In fact, the most crucial purpose of implementing Wall Posts in buildings is to prevent the destruction of walls during earthquakes. By increasing the free span of walls, Wall Post enhances their resistance to the loads generated by earthquakes. Therefore, cracks may appear on the wall during an earthquake, but this is not a concern because the wall post can significantly increase structural resistance.

In general, Wall Posts can be made from various materials. However, in recent years, the engineering system has developed a new code for implementing Wall Posts. According to this code, fiberglass mesh should be used as the wall post in buildings. Therefore, a Wall Post is one of the applications of fiberglass mesh used to increase the structural resistance to earthquakes.

It is important to note that according to engineering regulations, the fiberglass mesh used as a Wall Post should weigh 110 grams. If the weight of the fiberglass mesh Wall Post is less, the structural safety will not be acceptable. Therefore, builders should not purchase lighter fiberglass meshes for building use to reduce costs.
Interestingly, fiberglass mesh can also be used as an efficient, innovative Wall Post.

Fiberglass Mesh Waterproofing (Damp-proof):

One of the most important considerations for preventing damage to structures exposed to moisture is the insulation of these structures. Insulating walls, swimming pools, and other elements should be done using appropriate methods. Although there are various techniques for waterproofing and sealing pools, one of the best methods is using fiberglass mesh for waterproofing and moisture insulation.
Fiberglass mesh waterproofing, or fiberglass moisture barrier, is made from glass fibers. As you may know, these fibers have good resistance to moisture and will not easily deteriorate. However, to enhance the resistance of these fibers to moisture, a layer of resin is also applied to the fiberglass mesh, which can improve the waterproofing conditions of these meshes.
Due to their lightweight and affordable price, fiberglass mesh waterproofing can be used for various structures, including pools, walls exposed to moisture, and more. These meshes have a very long lifespan, so even after the demolition of the structure or pool, there will be no need to replace the fiberglass meshes.
If different materials and chemicals are present in the structure exposed to water and moisture, the best waterproofing solution is using fiberglass mesh. These meshes have high resistance to chemical substances. Another advantage of these meshes, which enhances the safety of moist structures, is their suitable electrical insulation property. Therefore, these meshes can be used to prevent the entry of electrical current into structures and avoid electrical conductivity.

Guide to Quality Control (QC)

The work surface must be clean and free of any contamination. Old layers, oil, organic matter and dust must be removed by grinding machine. First, the prepared reinforcing mortar should be spread evenly on the surface with a trowel. In the prepared layer, immediately spread the fiberglass mesh on the wet surface, then use a metal trowel to smooth it from the center to the edge of the mesh. A properly applied mesh should not be visible and should be completely embedded in the mortar. It is important to keep the lace overlaps on the next applied straps up to about 10 cm. If there are corner holes in the walls (for example, windows), it is recommended to install additional parts of the mesh with dimensions of about 20 x 30 cm diagonally.
