Murfor Compact A is a steel mesh masonry bed-joint reinforcement for AAC masonry; each 30 m roll consists of a steel cord mesh and interwoven fibreglass roving. It is embedded in polymer-modified block jointing mortar as a replacement for conventional RCC band beam, suits mortar joints of 3-12 mm and is certified through ETA 18/0316 for structural use (CE marking). Biltech introduced it in India with BEKAERT.

Key features

• One 30 m roll weighs about 3 kg, about 10 times less than regular masonry reinforcement of the same length
• Does not require water
• replaces conventional RCC band beam
• Controls cracks and strengthens masonry
• high yield strength steel cords
• Two widths (A-40 and A-80) can be combined to suit any wall width
• Suitable for mortar joints of 3 mm to 12 mm (premix polymer or cement-sand mortar)

Applications

• AAC masonry bed joint reinforcement
