RF100 Reinforcing Fabric

GE RF100 Reinforcing Fabric is a 100% polyester spun-laced textile for roofing and air and water resistive barrier applications. It is a high-tensile, high-tear strength, dimensionally stable fabric with excellent elongation for long-term performance. It is easy to apply with exceptional conformability, immediate wet-out and easy positioning / repositioning in coatings or sealants.

Key Features and Typical Benefits

• Applicator Friendly—Easy to work with and install. Can easily be positioned / repositioned in coating without damage occuring to itself or the substrate.
• Conformability—Easily conforms to regular and irregular transitions, including, but not limited to: rough openings, penetrations, curbs, inside / outside corners, flashing, and more.
• Seamless Wet Out—Provides a monolithic and continuous reinforced surface, which allows coating to easily flow through and saturate.
• High Strength Reinforcement—Provides additional tensile and tear strength to help meet project needs.

Potential Applications

• AWB—Spans static gaps up to 1/2” (13mm). Can treat: rough openings, penetrations, inside / outside corners, flashing, transitions, changes in plane, and more.
• Roofing—Can reinforce seams and curbs on roofing surfaces, including: metal, single-ply and modified bitumen seams as well as skylights, vents, scuppers, HVAC, and more. Note: RF100 is not suitable for bridging dynamic gaps and expansion joints. Consider GE UST2200 UltraSpan* silicone sheeting for these purposes.
