Glass fibres for improved concrete performance

Concrete is a brittle material that often develops cracks, due to a multitude of factors such as shrinkage, expansion, temperature changes, overloading etc. To address these issues and make concrete more durable, Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) is used. GFRC consists of a cementitious matrix composed of cement, sand, water, and admixtures, in which short-length glass fibres are dispersed. The glass fibres give this distinctive compound its strength. Glass fibres serve as the primary tensile load-carrying member and make the concrete more resistant to cracking and structural failure. The selection of the right glass fibres product is based on its crack resistance, tensile, flexural, and compressive strength as per project requirements. Glassman AR Glass Fibres serves all these requirements. STEWOLS INDIA (P) LTD is the supplier of Glassman AR Glass Fibres in India.

Glassman Glass Fibres act as the principal tensile load-carrying member, while the polymer and concrete matrix binds the fibres together and helps transfer the load from one fibre to another, giving the concrete its optimum strength. The (AR) Alkaline Resistance glass fibre acts as a solution for micro-cracking that occurs in concrete and controls it during the active life span of concrete. The glass fibres prevent concrete settlement and plastic shrinkage, thermal and drying shrinkage. It is also used in beams and columns to prevent microcracks.
