Glass fiber reinforced concrete is an engineered material that contains cement, polymers, and glass fibers that are ingrained in the cementious matrix. The properties are influenced by the glass contents, mix design, and production process. GFRC is mainly used for external applications since it increases its load-bearing capacity. It produces an extremely lightweight yet durable material.

GFRC’s strength is derived from a high dosage of AR glass fibers along with a high dosage of acrylic polymer. Due to the low water to cement ratio GFRC comprehensive strength can be quite high. Tensile and flexible strength make it superior to ordinary concrete. This product will have high load support while remaining flexible therefore no cracks are prevalent.

Strength of the product is developed due to high contents of alkali resistant glass fibers and acrylic polymer. Since the cement contents are high, and the ratio of water to cement is low, the strength under compressive loads is high. These materials also possess great tensile and flexural strength. The performance of these materials is better than the normal concrete. The high fiber content bears the tensile loads, while the concrete is flexible due to the polymers. Applications of GFRC are vanity tops, wall panels, and other comparable products.
