Introduction to GRG Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG or GRG) is an advanced material known for its strength, durability, and versatility. Made by reinforcing high-strength alpha gypsum with glass fibers, GRG can be molded into nearly any shape or size, making it ideal for interior or sheltered areas. As a non-combustible material with excellent flame spread and smoke development ratings (per ASTM E-84), GRG is lighter and stronger than traditional plaster castings, weighing only 2-3 pounds per square foot (10-15 kg/m²). These characteristics, combined with its use of post-consumer recycled materials and minimized framing requirements, make GRG a preferred choice for sustainable construction projects. Proper handling, packaging, and delivery are essential to preserving the quality and functionality of GRG products. Packaging Effective packaging ensures that GRG products maintain their integrity during storage and transportation. The following practices are recommended: Product Placement: Finished GRG items should be stored with the longer side

GRC(Glass fiber reinforced concrete) components are made and formed in molds. Many products do not require model making, and molds can be made directly. However, more complex components need to make models first, and then use the models to make molds. In this article, we are going to introduce 3 common types of mould production. Silicone Mould Scope of Application:Applicable for the production of components with intricate sculptural designs, textured surfaces, or rich details where rigid moulds cannot ensure easy demoulding. Details: Fiberglass Mould Scope of Application:Suitable for creating components like door and window frames, beams, columns, or linear designs where surfaces allow for seamless demoulding. Details: Gypsum Mould Scope of Application:Used for simple designs, low production quantities, or as intermediary moulds for secondary replication. Details: Conclusion Moulds have a great impact on the quality, production cycle and cost of GRC products, and are a very important link in production.

Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GRC) has become a preferred material in architectural and landscape design due to its exceptional performance and visual appeal. However, prolonged exposure to external elements can lead to degradation, discoloration, and structural weakening. Implementing proper surface protection methods is essential to extend the lifespan of GRC, maintain its appearance, and minimize maintenance costs. This article delves into the critical purposes and benefits of GRC surface protection, as well as practical strategies for achieving it. Purposes and Benefits of GRC Surface Protection Key Strategies for GRC Surface Protection The Role of Protective Agents To further enhance surface protection, osmotic or adhesive protective agents can be applied using brushing, rolling, or immersion techniques. These agents create a transparent or semi-transparent protective film and must meet the following criteria: Conclusion Surface protection is crucial to enhancing the longevity, functionality, and aesthetic value of GRC. Through strategies such as selecting high-quality

Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) is a lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant composite material widely used in construction, transportation, chemical, and marine industries. Its exceptional performance makes it a popular choice for various industrial applications. Depending on the product’s purpose and production requirements, different forming processes can be selected. This article provides a brief introduction to the common production processes for GRP. Lamination     The lamination method is a traditional and versatile production process. It is suitable for producing complex shapes and small-batch products, such as storage tanks, irregular shells, and small containers. This method requires minimal equipment and offers high flexibility.   Process Steps:   1. Clean the mold surface and apply a release agent.   2. Apply gel-coat and resin onto the mold surface.   3. Manually lay fiberglass mats or fabrics and saturate them with resin.   4. Use a roller to compact the layers and eliminate air bubbles.

Precasting Material has become a critical choice in modern construction due to its superior performance and wide range of applications, such as GRC, GRP, GRG and UHPC etc.. Through rigorous testing standards, we can comprehensively evaluate its essential properties, for instance compressive strength, flexural strength, and durability. These evaluations ensure reliability across various environments and provide safety assurances for engineering projects. This article introduces several major tests and explains the relevant standards in different regions.   Key Tests for Precasting Materials      Objective: To verify the performance under tensile and compressive forces, ensuring structural integrity under different loads without cracking or deforming.      Brief Testing Process: Gradually apply tensile or compressive force to the sample using a universal testing machine until the sample ruptures.      Objective: To assess the strength and flexibility under bending stress, demonstrating its applicability in various projects.      Brief Testing Process: Conduct a three-point bending test
