Intermediate Impact Mesh is an alkaline coated fiberglass fabric which is suitable to work as reinforcement for polymer modified and polymer-based cementitious base coats, and used as a medium-heavy duty mesh layer in all Durex® EIFS Systems and Durex® Stucco Lite System. Intermediate Impact Mesh is produced on a loom using warp and weft (fill) yarns and woven into a leno weave, where the fill yarns are trapped tightly between to twisting wrap yarns, and is then treated by alkali-resistant macromolecule latex for superior performance.
- Fiberglass mesh of tested quality, capable of withstanding high tension without stretching
- Glass fibers with negligible sensitivity to temperature changes within the wall Proper fiberglass anti-alkaline dressing to avoid quick aging of the wall reinforcement due to corrosion action of alkalis present in coating mortar.
- Provides dimensional stability and enhances performance.
- Prevents cracking.
- Good cohesion.
- Highly flexible.
Medium-Heavy Duty Reinforcement Mesh for the base coat layer in all Durex® EIFS Systems when additional impact resistance is required. Medium-Heavy Duty Reinforcement Mesh for Durex® Stucco Lite System. Medium-Heavy Duty Reinforcement for crack bridging in masonry substrates.
