Hulk SRT® (Structurally Reinforcing Textile) by Hulk Systems Inc.
Reinforcement Material for High Build Applications, for Rigid Foams / ICF block and use for Panelized Substrates: E-Glass, fiber glass reinforcing synthetic textile.
Application
Hulk SRT® is a 45˚ / -45˚ Double Bias fiber glass chopped mat, designed to enhance both the strength and environmental resistance of the various systems. When immersed into the HULK WP® membrane, the textile creates a highly impact resistant shell over the substrate, protecting it from damages, abrasion, and abuse. The textile is highly resistant to both water and fire, adding additional protection to any structure.
- When handling Hulk SRT® it’s best that installers use long sleeve shirts and gloves to prevent skin irritation. Protective eye wear is also recommended.
- First cut your outside corner pieces as shown in Figure 1, then position into membrane as shown in Figure 2. Coat overtop of corner piece with membrane. For proper coating thickness refer to Hulk WP® application instructions in this document. To cut the textile, use a sharp utility knife or shears. If using a knife, cut from the center outward.
- A portable worktable exceeding 50 inches in length or other clean flat surface improves the ease of cutting the main textile lengths. Unroll the textile to the desired length. To cut the textile, use a sharp utility knife or shears. If using a knife, cut from the center outward. A weighted straight edge helps to improve cuts and keeps the material from stretching.
- DO NOT sit the textile in dirt, mud or other contaminate before it is applied, as this will negatively affect both the adhesion to the substrate and performance characteristics of the system.
- Always allow a minimum 4” (inch) overlap between textile pieces.
- To eliminate any wrinkles, first trowel downward at the center of your piece, then work from the center outwards. The manufacturer recommends 8” (inch) or longer trowels or putty knives. DO NOT use toothed trowels as they will get caught on the fabric causing possible tears or stretching.
