YTOFOR - Стальная армирующая сетка
YTOFOR is a reinforced reinforcement system in a 40 or 80 mm wide roll of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks with a thin joint, consisting of a network of intertwined galvanised steel cables covered in glass fibre with a high yield strength of 1770 MPa. Laboratory tests have shown that the YTOFOR tape is as strong as a traditional reinforcement made from steel rods, guaranteeing a 25% time saving compared to the laying of traditional reinforcing bars.
The correct laying procedure involves laying the tape on the course of clean blocks, applying Ytong FIX N200 adhesive mortar using a special trowel with corrugated teeth, and laying the blocks in the next row. The increased ease of use and savings in time and material are obvious advantages. YTOFOR is a strong and flexible tape that is easy to store, unroll and cut. The reinforcing tape is sold in rolls of 30 metres length, stored in easily transportable and storable packages on the construction site.
What Ytofor is used for:
Provides greater spacing between technical control joints
To prevent cracking due to masonry movement, control joints must be provided that divide the wall into smaller portions. YTOFOR allows for greater spacing between technical joints, enabling the construction of longer walls with the same thickness.
Reinforcement for non-structural reinforced masonry
Ideal for external infills, partitions and internal partitions, large industrial walls. In accordance with the Circular of 21 January 2019 applying the NTC 2018, the verification of masonry against seismic action is considered fulfilled by inserting reinforcement every 500 mm maximum.
Reduces the risk of cracking
We recommend the use of YTOFOR reinforcement tape in masonry built in particularly deformable structures (e.g. steel or wooden slabs and beams, existing buildings).
