ORLITECH mesh is resistant to corrosion and UV radiation, it doesn’t change its mechanical features and won’t cause a degradation of concrete, moreover, due to the high alkali resistance and anti-corrosion properties, the working life of concrete elements is increased greatly, making it ideal for use in chemically aggressive areas.
The mesh does not conduct electricity and is non-magnetic, it does not absorb static and is redundant to radio waves, making it appropriate for the construction and refurbishment of housing, hospitals and airports. Within concrete it resists high temperatures, up to 700°C in the long term and 1000°C in the short term.
Durability, resistance to corrosion, alkaline & acid substances, stable condition of the material – are the most important properties of our basalt fibre reinforced polymer material (FRP). All of our FRP products have a service life in excess of 100 years.
Thermal conductivity (100 times lower than that of steel), thermal conductivity 0.46W/m2. Due to the high thermal conductivity of steel bars used for construction when they are substituted with Orlitech FRP products thermal conductivity of any connecting steel through thermal envelope is reduced by 35%
Orlitech composite basalt FRP mesh has many and varied applications including but not limited to:
