Generally speaking, the series of mesh cloth products probably have alkali-resistant GRC glass fiber mesh cloth. Or it is a special stone grid cloth for alkali-resistant walls, and some marble grid cloth. Uses are (1). Wall reinforcement materials, such as fiberglass mesh, GRC wallboard, gypsum board and other materials.
