GRC/GFRC(fiber glass reinforced concrete)
GFRC/GRC present architects and engineers with a material from which the most ambitions design can be created, it can be molded to form modern futuristic design and into complex shapes and design, GRC/GFRC can be painted, faced with fine aggregate, colored and with smooth or textured finishing.
GFRC it is a composite material made of a fine aggregate and cement matrix reinforced with glass fiber, these fibers signifantly enhance the strength, durability and flexibility of concrete and some chemical liquid are also adds
Production process The mixed GFRC/GRC is loaded into a spray gun equipped with a nozzle suitable for spray concrete, The GFRC/GRC mix Applies into the mold by using spray gun During spray glass fire typically chopped into short length and added to the mix to provide reinforment multiple layers will applied to achieve the desired thickrecs and strength (14mm-20mm) with high quality of grade 18
The importance of GFRC/GRC
- Resistance to cracking
- Weather resistance GFRC/GRC with stands versions weather conditions, including high tempreture and freeze-thaw cycles, without significant detraction
- Corrosion resistance GRC does not suffer from corrosion due to alhali resistance glass-fiber reinforcement
- Water resistance GFRC/GRC has low permeability reducing water absorption and thereby minimizing the risk of damage from moisture infress and related issues such as mold and mildew
- Fire resistance GRC is non-combustible and can with stand high temperature without significant loss of structural integrity.
- Chemical resistance GFRC/GRC resistance to many chemicals, including acids and salts
- Long-term durability, more the 30 years
- Low weight GFRC/GRC 80% lighter than traditional concrete
- High bending strength
- Ability to be molded into complex shape and design smooth textured surface.
GFRC/GRC used for
- Exterior cladding panel for building
- Decorative architectural element such as (cornices, columns, dome, ...)
- Furniture GFRC//GRC used to create custom Furniture pieces like table, beaches, countertops
- Sculptures and art pieces
- Planters and landscaping, GFRC//GRC is used for fountains, planters Five place, and other landscaping features due to its weather resistance and ability to be shaped into various forms
