Fiberglass reinforcement, also known as glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebar, is a lightweight, non-corrosive, and non-conductive material used to strengthen concrete. It's a popular alternative to steel rebar in many construction projects. Properties Lightweight GFRP rebar is much lighter than steel rebar, making it easier to transport and place. Non-corrosive GFRP rebar is resistant to rust and corrosion, which can extend the life of a structure. Non-conductive GFRP rebar doesn't conduc

Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete: Bad information can have a way of perpetuating itself even when proven false. For years people were told and taught that pre-mix Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete needed to be applied in layers no thicker than ¼” and rolled with compaction rollers before another layer could be applied. This was supposedly done to compact the mix and align the fibers in the proper direction. We designed Trinic’s GFRC Admixture to overcome the shortcomings found in other additives an

Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete – Advance Techniques – Self Consolidating Face Coat / Backcoat There are situations where you will need to spray a facecoat and hand lay a backcoat, that said if you don’t have to don’t. One technique made possible by Trinic’s GFRC Admix is to self-consolidate a face coat, work it up the edges using a chip brush, then self-consolidate a back coat. There has been some confusion within the GFRC industry about the flexural strength of self-consolidated backcoats. I’v

GFRC Methods (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) Our customers often have questions about which method to use. • Spray up or self-consolidating facecoat: Use on 3D pieces or on flat surfaces with surface exposure (acid etch, sandblast). • Direct cast no facecoat: Use when there will not be surface exposure (light sanding, form liner).

Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete – How over designed is GFRC made with Trinic’s GFRC Admix? Sometimes we get a clue when a piece is made wrong and needs to be scrapped. We don’t recommend using less fiber in all of your pieces but you can use less fiber in pieces that will not see as much strain such as tiles.
