Products

Glass-fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC)

Glass-fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC)

GRC consists of four basic materials: white Portland cement, washed silica sand, glass fibers and clean potable water, in addition to additives that improve the mix. It is a relatively new material compared with others, whose benefits have improved over recent decades, making it the primary choice in high-quality development projects. The purpose of the glass fibers is to strengthen the concrete, just as reinforcing steel does in traditional concrete.

Glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP)

Glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP)

Also known as glass-fiber reinforced plastic, it is an exceptionally strong and versatile material. Unlike traditional thermoplastics, it has unique properties such as light weight and formability, making it ideal for a wide range of applications across industries, such as speedboats, cars, bathtubs, hot tubs, water tanks, roofs, pipes and decorative cladding. Its exceptional strength and flexibility to be formed into almost any shape make it the preferred choice for industrial engineers developing sustainable products.

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC)

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC)

Cementitious construction concrete enhanced with advanced materials such as silica fume and quartz powders acting as fine fillers, with plasticizing additives to improve workability and control viscosity. A somewhat complex cementitious building material, prepared by mixing fine particles in specific orientations and shapes before the required mixing and vibration until it reaches the necessary density and durability. It allows longer spans and thinner surfaces for more complex engineering designs.

Glass-fiber reinforced gypsum (GFRG)

Glass-fiber reinforced gypsum (GFRG)

GFRG combines the strength of glass fibers with the adaptability of gypsum, producing an innovative composite building material that is exceptionally strong yet lightweight, used in decorative molds and structural panels. Its additional advantage is its superior fire resistance and impact strength, making it the best choice for interior and exterior applications and giving architects and designers limitless opportunities for artistic design.
