"Polotsk-Steklovolokno" launched the production of innovative composite mesh

The innovative product is used in industrial and residential construction, as well as in private housing, specifically for reinforcing brick walls, screeding, and reinforcing concrete slabs and floors. The composite mesh possesses high mechanical strength, low thermal conductivity, radio transparency (does not impede mobile communication), an extended service life, and is particularly effective in aggressive and humid environments. It can also be used in road construction, agricultural structures, and for reinforcing slopes, embankments, and shorelines.

The enterprise began production of the product at the end of August, and the first foreign presentation of the novelty took place within the framework of the Vitebsk Region Days in Pskov. The event is held from September 2 to 4 in the Russian regional center. "Polotsk-Steкловолокно has been operating in the Russian market for a long time, and there are plans to expand our presence. This includes promoting this product, which is innovative not only for the enterprise but also for Belarus as a whole. During the exhibition in Pskov, representatives of local enterprises showed increased interest specifically in the composite mesh at our exposition, so I hope we will find our niche with this product in the neighboring region and in the Russian market as a whole," said Andrey Shevakov, Head of the Marketing Department of the enterprise.

The composite mesh is produced from fiberglass and epoxy impregnation by interlacing twisted threads with fiberglass rods (diameter from 2 to 6 mm) followed by heat treatment. The new line allows for the production of mesh in sheets, as well as in rolls of various lengths and specific widths, while the cell size and color of the mesh can be changed at the customer's request.

Open Joint Stock Company "Polotsk-Steklovolokno" was established in 1958 and is one of the leading manufacturers of fiberglass and products based on it. The enterprise has about 900 product items, which are supplied to partners from 50 countries. The manufactured glass yarns and rovings are used by the company for its own production, as well as sold to customers for the manufacture of woven and non-woven materials for mechanical engineering, automotive industry, aircraft construction, shipbuilding, electrical engineering, metallurgy, military-industrial complex, construction, and a number of other industries.
