What is GFRC?

GFRC stands for Glass fibre Reinforced Concrete. It is a composite comprised of Portland cement, fine aggregate, water, acrylic co-polymer, alkali resistant glass fibre reinforcement and additives. In many international markets, it is referred to as GRC – Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete. The glass fibres reinforce the concrete, much as steel reinforcing does in conventional concrete. The glass fibre reinforcement results in a product with much higher flexural and tensile strengths than normal concrete, allowing its use in thin-wall casting applications. GFRC is a lightweight, durable material that can be cast into nearly unlimited shapes, colours and textures. There are two basic processes used to fabricate GFRC – The Spray-Up process and Premix process.
