The Main Use Of Alkali-resistant Glass Fiber Mesh

The Main Use Of Alkali-resistant Glass Fiber Mesh

Glass fiber mesh is based on glass fiber woven fabric as the base material, and is coated with macromolecule anti - emulsion coating. Therefore, it has good alkali resistance, flexibility and tensile resistance at warp and weft direction. It can be widely used for thermal insulation, waterproof and anti cracking of walls inside and outside buildings. Glass fiber mesh cloth with alkali resistant fiberglass mesh, it uses alkali free glass fiber yarn (the main ingredient is silicate, good chemical stability) by structure leno weaving and special organization, after the anti alkali, heat setting treatment such as reinforcing agent.

The most common place to find fiberglass mesh is in tape products.Drywall finishers use the mesh frequently. In fact, it is common to replace the paper tape used to float the joint between two pieces of drywall. The mesh that drywall finishers use comes on a roll just like paper drywall tape. The added benefit for the drywall finisher is to roll out the mesh over a great distance before having to apply the first coat of joint compound. Not only does it help them in this manner, but it also causes a stronger bond between the joint compound, the tape and the wall.

Drywall finishers also use this tape to patch holes. The most common hole in the drywall generally occurs where a doorknob has hit a wall too many times. If it is only slightly damaged, a couple of short pieces of the tape will be formed into a square and placed over the hole. A joint compound will then be applied directly to it. If the hole is too large to patch with fiberglass mesh alone, a piece of metal flashing can be added behind the tape before applying joint compound. Construction work is not the only use for fiberglass mesh.

As a filtering system, alkali resistant fiberglass mesh works really well. As the water flows through it, the mesh catches even the smallest impurities. In addition to this use, it can also be used as a mosquito net.

Finally, fiberglass mesh is sometimes woven into protective clothing used by those who work with dangerous chemicals or firefighters. Tightly woven mesh is put together and shaped into jackets that firemen wear when they are battling a blaze. It protects them from any fire that might ignite their clothing while fighting a fire. Fiberglass mesh can also be used in mold making and as protection against corrosives.
