Composite construction mesh for concrete reinforcement and protection | MiMesh® type SKB
Description: MiMesh® SKB composite mesh is an innovative solution replacing the popular and commonly used steel mesh. MiMesh® SKB composite mesh is characterised by low weight (4 times lighter than steel!), complete resistance to corrosion, resistance to acidic and basic environments, including the aggressive basic environment in concrete. MiMesh® SKB composite mesh is characterised by very good adhesion to cement paste and does not require coating due to its resistance to corrosion – this results in reducing the amount of required concrete or its more economically beneficial redesign (particularly recommended for thin-walled prefabricated elements, such as cladding and road panels). An added advantage of mesh is its elasticity (not plasticity, as is the case with steel), which results in high resistance to dynamic loads. MiMesh® SKB composite mesh is transparent for magnetic waves (does not create Faraday cages) and is an electric insulator, which makes it a particularly good choice for structures prone to the presence of stray currents (underground and regular railways, transmission lines, transformers).
Application: MiMesh® SKB composite mesh is used for the reinforcement of various types of concrete, including shotcrete, floors, and prefabricated elements; it can also function as technical or garden/utility mesh. It is also useful as a “geo” mesh for reinforcing railway subgrades, roads, slopes and embankments.
Construction: Ourpatented mesh construction and production technology guarantee the highest quality. The mesh is made of a glass and/or basalt fiber composite in a polymer resin matrix.
