Advantagesof CompositeMeshes
TWS/GRP Composite Reinforcement
Meshes by TROKOTEX in the Polish construction market are designed for concrete structures as a substitute for traditional steel reinforcement. This is an innovative solution manufactured using the pultrusion process.
As a result of this process, a composite is created, consisting of a very large number of individual fibers arranged in parallel, embedded in a polymer matrix based on epoxy resin.
