What is the \"Tex\" unit mentioned in the yarn specifications<\/div><\/span>

Tex is a\u00a0linear mass density<\/strong>\u00a0unit indicating weight in grams per 1000 meters of yarn. Simply put,\u00a0a higher Tex number means a thicker, stronger yarn<\/strong>. For example, a 200tex yarn is significantly stronger than a 45tex yarn<\/p><\/div><\/div>

What is the main difference between a plain weave (e.g., RD Series) and a Leno weave (e.g., CAL Series)<\/div><\/span>

In a\u00a0plain weave<\/strong>, warp and weft yarns simply pass over and under each other. In a\u00a0Leno weave<\/strong>, two or more warp yarns are\u00a0twisted<\/strong>\u00a0around the weft yarns, locking them in place. This creates\u00a0exceptional dimensional stability<\/strong>\u00a0and prevents\u00a0mesh opening and yarn drifting<\/strong>\u00a0under stress or during mortar application.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

How is tensile strength measured, and what does N\/5cm mean<\/div><\/span>

According to standard methods, a strip of mesh\u00a05 centimeters wide<\/strong>\u00a0and of sufficient length (typically 20cm) is placed in a tension testing machine. The maximum force (in\u00a0Newtons<\/strong>) the sample withstands before failure is reported as the tensile strength. Therefore, a value of\u00a01500 N\/5cm\u00a0means a 5cm wide strip of that mesh can withstand at least 1500 Newtons of force.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Are these products suitable for use in concrete and alkaline environments<\/div><\/span>

Yes, all products in this catalog can be manufactured with a special Alkali Resistant (AR) coating.<\/strong>\u00a0This\u00a0zirconia-based<\/strong>\u00a0coating protects the glass fibers from the high pH of the cementitious matrix, guaranteeing long-term durability. Please specify this requirement when ordering.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Is production with special specifications or different colors possible<\/div><\/span>

Absolutely.<\/strong>\u00a0One of the strengths of\u00a0Atlas GROUP<\/strong>\u00a0is our\u00a0flexibility in manufacturing based on customer order<\/strong>. Changes in roll width, weight, mesh size, coating resin type, and\u00a0coloration (white, yellow, blue, green, etc.) are fully possible.<\/strong> Contact our sales engineering team<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What distinguishes Travertine from Marble<\/div><\/span>

Travertine is a porous sedimentary stone, while marble is a dense metamorphic rock. Travertine offers warmer tones and better slip resistance<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

What is the optimal cleaning method<\/div><\/span>

Use pH-neutral stone cleaners (pH 7-8) with immediate drying of wet surfaces.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

Is it suitable for commercial kitchens<\/div><\/span>

Yes, with leathered finish and nano-sealer for grease and stain resistance<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

What is the best type of Marmarite for kitchens<\/div><\/span>

Low-porosity Marmarite like Dehbid with leathered finish and nano-sealer<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

Is Marmarite suitable for bathrooms<\/div><\/span>

Yes, with proper selection of low-porosity type, appropriate sealer, and correct maintenance<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

What is the difference between Marmarite and marble<\/div><\/span>

Marmarite has lower metamorphic grade, lower price, and greater color variety<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

\u00a0How to remove oil stains from Marmarite<\/div><\/span>

Use specialized stone cleaners + baking soda paste<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

Is limestone suitable for kitchens<\/div><\/span>

Yes, with selection of low-porosity type, leathered or honed finish, and nano anti-grease sealer<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

What is the difference between limestone and marble<\/div><\/span>

Limestone is primary sedimentary stone; marble is metamorphosed limestone. Marble is harder and less porous<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

How to prevent limestone discoloration in exterior spaces<\/div><\/span>

\u00a0Use UV-Resistant sealers and stones with high calcium carbonate percentage<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

What is the minimum thickness for commercial flooring<\/div><\/span>

3 cm for light traffic, 4 cm for heavy traffic.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

What is the best adhesive for limestone installation<\/div><\/span>

White polymer adhesive with minimum 2 MPa tensile strength<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>
