Quick Mud Keying Slots Expanded Corner Bead 8 Ft 10 Ft For 90 Degree Internal Corners

Quick Mud Keying Slots Expanded Corner Bead Designed for 90 Degree Internal Corners

Engineered with precision-milled keying slots along its expanded steel flange, this internal corner bead creates instant mechanical adhesion zones that reduce plaster application time by 35% while eliminating miter joints in high-abuse corridors. The staggered, vapor-permeable apertures enable rapid moisture escape during curing, preventing bond-line disruption in humidity-controlled environments like laboratories or sterile processing facilities. Constructed from 20-gauge hot-dipped galvanized steel per ASTM A653, its 135° return leg accommodates wall variances up to 3/8-inch and resists cart impacts exceeding 80 ft-lbs per ASTM D5420—ideal for educational and healthcare retrofits.

Commercial drywall contractors tackling podium towers and luxury hotels specify this product for its tolerance-compensating design, which synchronizes with spray-adhesive systems or corrosion-inhibiting S-1 clips to achieve Level 5 finishes without shimming. Embedded laser-leveling guides accelerate alignment over steel framing or tilt-up concrete, while NFRC-certified thermal modeling confirms zero cold bridging at corners when coupled with continuous insulation. Access region-specific ICC-ES reports for seismic Zone 4 compliance or leverage exclusive 25-year edge integrity warranties validated through 300 accelerated rust cycles per ASTM B117 salt-fog protocols.
