Vivian Regina is an ISO 9001:2000 certified company that offers a superior range of glass fibre tissues and mesh products that will ensure a durable coating system that provides years of protection from the forces of nature.

CRAKGON^Ž

Paint reinforcing tissue
CRAKGON^Ž is a non-woven paint reinforcing tissue of randomly dispersed continuous C-glass fibres. The glass fibres are bonded to one another by means of a binder. The binder is compatible with emulsion, and solvent based coating systems.

Application
CRAKGON^Ž is a reinforcement for interior and exterior paint films and other coating compounds, and a preventative to the re-appearance of fine plastic cracks, or a consolidation medium for friable plaster surfaces. CRAKGON^Ž reinforced surfaces will outlast non-reinforced surfaces by many years, according to independent tests conducted by the National Building Research Institute of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (Pretoria, RSA), and by the Quality Control Labs at Lacose Sotinco / CIN (Porto, Portugal).

GLASCOTE

Re-inforcing membrane
GLASCOTE is a reinforcing membrane comprising a non-woven tissue of randomly dispersed continuous C-glass fibres combined with a mesh of glass yarn bonded together with a suitable binder.

Application
GLASCOTE has been specifically designed and developed for all weather conditions and is commonly used as a reinforcing membrane in waterproofing applications. The glass mesh in GLASCOTE provides exceptional dimensional stability to the membrane improving the tensile strength in both longitudinal and lateral directions. This in turn, reinforces the waterproofing coating comprising resins such as Bitumen, modified Bitumen, Acrylics, Epoxy and Polyester. GLASCOTE can be used to waterproof or repair roofs, parapet-walls, gutters, flashings and underscreed applications. GLASCOTE is not affected by ultra violet, does not rot or burn, is moisture, acid and alkali resistant.

BARRAMESH

Re-inforcing mesh
BARRAMESH is a reinforcing mesh made up of continuous glass filament yarns evenly dispersed over the sheet width and length, bonded at the yarn intersections with a suitable binder.

Application
BARRAMESH is used as a reinforcement to cement plaster screeds and other coating compounds of a similar nature made up of resins and powder fillers. It reinforces the screeds against the formation of haircracks, thus preventing the ingression of moisture and other weathering forces into the surface and substrate. As a result, BARRAMESH prevents the lifting of the coating or screed from the substrate. A typical application for BARRAMESH is the reinforcement of the surface screed of tennis courts.
