Fiberglass technology
GRC* Technology developed in 1969, the alkali-resistant fiber technology AR of sodium zirconium glass, has led to the development of thin-walled precast concrete units GRC.
The method of projecting concrete with the addition of glass fiber produces thin-walled (4-12 mm) both flat, formed (curved), and free-form units in 3-D space, large-scale façade elements, or other types of products.
*GRC – Glass – Fiber Reinforced Concrete
