Composite Fiberglass and Basalt Mesh Reinforcement

Construction composite mesh is a product manufactured of corrosion-resistant composite basalt or fiberglass reinforcing rods of round section with a diameter from 2,5 to 6 mm crossing and fastened with each other at right angle. The sizes of formed cells can be 50x50, 100x100, 150х150 millimeters. The mesh is delivered in the form of special sheets (plates) with sizes 1500x380, 1500x500, 2000x500 and 2000x1000 millimeters. Occurrence of corrosion in steel reinforcement (due to influence of moisture or aggressive chemical environment) can finally lead to heavy degradation or complete destruction of the building. Concrete partitions, port structures, floors of industrial rooms and rooms with a high level of moisture are the structures of excessive risk. Set of the problems connected with use of metals in reinforcing structure drove the beginning of search of more multiple-purpose materials. The product of Composite Group Chelyabinsk company is a distinguishing composite fiberglass product among them.

The Manufacturing Process of Composite Fiberglass Mesh Reinforcement

Features

Composite mesh reinforcement is made from fiberglass reinforcement bars, with fixed angles of 90 degrees in the corners of joints. Mesh reinforcement is delivered in the form of meshes with set sizes.

Applications Scope for Composite Mesh Reinforcement

Construction of Residential Structures

1. Increasing the bearing capacity of applied concrete constructions: internal and external wall panels, including three-layer "sandwich panels", beams, slabs, etc.
2. Increasing the bearing capacity of concrete floors
3. Increasing the bearing capacity of walls made of stone and bricks
4. Increasing the bearing capacity of decorative elements made of gypsum and concrete
5. Increasing the bearing capacity of other structures made of gypsum or concrete.

Construction of Industrial Structures

1. Increasing the bearing capacity of concrete constructions are used: internal and external wall panels, including a three-layer "sandwich panels", beams, slabs, etc.
2. Increasing the bearing capacity of concrete floors
3. Increasing the bearing capacity of hydraulic, coastal structures
4. Increasing the bearing capacity of walls made of stone and bricks
5. Increasing the bearing capacity of decorative elements made of gypsum
6. Increasing the bearing capacity of other structures made of gypsum or concrete

Road Construction

1. Increasing the bearing capacity of road surface
2. Increasing the bearing capacity of highways, bridges
3. Increasing the bearing capacity of railways

In addition to industry and civil engineering, composite (polymeric) mesh can be used in chemical industry, agriculture, power plants, and for all kinds of other sites with damp or corrosive environments.

Advantages of Composite Mesh Reinforcement

• Resistance to destruction: polymer mesh can stand three times more impacts directed at tear-out, bending and stretching, providing its diameter is equal to that of metal mesh;
• Resistance to corrosion and adverse environments: the highest degree of protection to negative influence of salts, caustic and corrosive phenomena, present also in conditions of high humidity;
• Weight: Metal mesh 5x5x0.3 cm weighs more than 2000 g/m2, at the same time, polymeric mesh of similar size weighs no more than 350 g/m2;
• Low heat conductivity: 0.46 W/m2, whereas metal mesh has a level of heat conductivity hundred times more, i.e. up to 60 W/m2. Thus, it is the metal mesh that forms thermal bridges in walls, which reduce the overall level of specific heat of the building. Polymer mesh reinforcement does not have this disadvantage;
• Working Life: according to research conducted by British scientists, maintenance of polymeric mesh under high humidity conditions will cause material degradation of only 1.25.
• The best connection to the surface of concrete is provided by a special granular type surface; • It does not conduct electricity;
• Polymer mesh is not susceptible to magnetization;
• Impact on the environment: during manufacturing process of polymer mesh there is emitted ten times less CO2 than during production of the same amount of metal mesh.
• Low coefficient of elasticity allows to extinguish vibration of any degree without changing the shape of mesh;
• In case the shape of concrete elements is changed, polymer mesh helps prevent complete destruction of the structure.
