Estop Fiberglass

Fiberglass Mesh

Description

Estop Fiberglass is an alkali resistant fibreglass mesh used in reinforcing protective waterproofing compounds, anti-fracture membranes and insulating materials.

Uses

Use together with waterproofing cement slurry, bituminous or co- polymer emulsion coating as a reinforcement layer to prevent cracks on materials caused by movement of the substrate.

Application Instructions

Application

The Estop Fiberglass must be completely covered by the waterproofing coating.

Apply an even coat of the waterproofing system with a smooth- edged trowel, brush or roller.

Place the Estop Fiberglass over the waterproofing coating while still wet and gently press it in with the trowel so it is completely covered.

When the surface has hardened (usually 6 – 12 hours depending on the type of product used, the ambient temperature and humidity, and the thickness), apply a second coat of the product if needed.

The edges of adjacent sheets of fibreglass mesh should overlap by at least 5 cm.

Packing & Size

Storage

Storage must be carefully controlled as all latex systems may coagulate (solidify with long periods of storage) in high temperatures. Store in shade under warehouse conditions and keep away from sources of heat.

Additional Information

Estop also offers various types of waterproofing systems, which include self-adhesive, and torched-on membranes, polymer modified cementitious coatings, liquid applied coatings and rubberized bituminous emulsions etc.
