Indonesia's rapid urbanization and the expansion of the "New Capital City" (IKN) project have surged the demand for durable building materials. However, the equatorial climate—characterized by extreme humidity and high precipitation—accelerates the degradation of traditional plastering, leading to pervasive cracking and moisture seepage in masonry walls.
The widespread use of high-alkali cement in local construction poses a significant risk to standard reinforcement materials. This is why the adoption of fiberglass mesh fabric has become essential, as it provides a chemical barrier that prevents the corrosion of the reinforcing structure within the mortar.
Current market trends in Jakarta and Surabaya show a shift toward prefabricated and dry-wall systems to increase construction speed. This transition has created a critical need for specialized products like drywall fiberglass mesh to maintain joint stability and prevent seam failure in high-rise developments.
