| CARBON GRID MESH |
|
DESCRIPTION
Fortress Stabilization Systems Pre-Preg Carbon Grid Mesh is a revolutionary alternative to welded wire. The mesh strength is based on the Ultimate Tensile Strength. Steel will yield a lower strength and will break at this strength. The carbon is stiffer than steel, so the concrete will crack less in reaching the full tensile capacity of the mesh. The surface area of the mesh is also greater, so the concrete/carbon bond is more effective than that of steel. The Pre-Preg Grid comes in a variety of structural mats or scrims having the advantage of being lightweight and non-corrosive. Pre-Preg Grid Mesh is used in various pre-cast applications, both vertical and horizontal applications of shotcrete, decorative concrete from slabs to countertops as well as concrete crack control.
ADVANTAGES
- Adds strength without adding weight
- Non-corrosive
- Allows for near surface placement
- Non-blush aggregate surface
- Low yield strain
- Cuts with tin snips or scissors
- Shipping and handling much easier than steel
- The only carbon grid that has no memory it lays flat
