Plasticiser is effectively chemical water. It goes by multiple names: plasticiser, water-reducer, super-plasticiser, high-range water-reducer, etc. In GFRC, it allows for adequate working properties of the slurry at a low water/cement ratio.
Highly durable and safe
Design freedom since GFRC is able to be moulded into almost any shape and colour
Requires very low maintenance
Installation is quick and cost effective
Weather and fire resistant
Economical
Energy efficient
Yes. The typical specification is 30-mesh silica: washed, dried and graded. We can look at each requirement for further explanation:
Washed: this ensures that impurities that may cause problems are removed.
Dried: wet sand can contain as much as 5 % moisture, making it very difficult to ...
Surface voids (small holes, also known as bug holes or pitting) found on the surface of concrete castings have affected anyone who has ever cast concrete. Castings with a significant number of voids must be post finished or discarded, resulting in wasted product, time and labour. Understanding ...
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 ...
