Concrete Systems

Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete, known as GRC worldwide, is a versatile construction material with the aesthetic and structural freedom it offers architects and engineers. GRC is a high-performance cementitious combination of silica sand, high quality white cement, polymer additives that improve the quality of the concrete and alkali resistant glass fiber (AR-glass). Thanks to its Zirconium (ZrO2) content, AR glass acts as reinforcement without dissolving in the alkaline environment of cement. Basalt fiber is also recommended as reinforcement in concrete applications other than GRC. Polyamide based synthetic fiber reinforcement can be used to prevent shrinkage cracks in plaster and floor concrete applications. Expanded glass sphere is an ecological concrete aggregate obtained from recycled glass that provides lightness, non-flammability, heat and sound insulation to cement-based applications.
