High Impact Resistant Lamina
Heavy-Duty Impact Resistant Lamina
Description

Durex® High Impact Lamina is comprised of a layer of Durex® Standard Mesh as a reinforcement layer for a polymer-modified and polymer-based cementitious base coat, followed by an additional layer of  Durex® Standard Mesh and Base Coat. Used as the heavy-grade reinforcing mesh layer in Durex® EIFS Systems and Durex® Stucco Lite System (except for mechanically fastened EIFS systems).

Advantages
  • Capable of withstanding 16 - 29 N.m/cm2 impact forces without breakage of the reinforcement layer
    • Forces equivalent to a Snowblower @ 3 kph , or;
    • Small Forklift @ 1 kph (29)
  • Fibreglass mesh of tested quality, capable of withstanding high tension without stretching
  • Glass fibres with negligible sensitivity to temperature changes within the wall
  • Proper fibreglass 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
Uses
  • Heavy Duty Reinforcement Mesh for the base coat layer in all Durex® EIFS Systems when high impact resistance is required
