Product calculator
Main purpose
Helps prevent micro cracks in the finished plaster.
Use it on
Argatherm finishing plaster embedded between the first and second layers.
Overview
Polites 80 is a fiberglass mesh used as reinforcement for Argatherm finishing plaster to prevent cracks caused by the settlement or movement of the substrate below. It provides adequate protection against impacts, stresses caused by changes in temperature and curing to prevent cracks forming. It is also suitable to use with other finishing plasters applied on thermal and acoustic insulation panels. It is supplied in 1.00m x 50m rolls (white colour).
Where to use it
Diasen Polites 80 should always be embedded within Argatherm at stress points such as corners of openings; around power sockets, light switches, sockets, and boxes; and over conduits and trunking. When Argacem Ultrafine is applied over Argatherm, Polites 80 must be used over the entire plastered area not just around stress points.
