Optimizing GRG (Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum) Applications: Packaging and Delivery Guidelines

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

Detailed Process Specifications for GRC Mould Production: 3 Common Mould Types

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.
