Alkali-resistant Fiberglass: A Green Backbone Reinforced By Cement

Alkali-resistant fiberglass (AR glass) is a key reinforcing material in glass fiber reinforced concrete (GRC), playing an indispensable "rib" role. As a 100% inorganic fiber, it stands out in non-load-bearing cement components, becoming an ideal environmentally friendly alternative to steel and asbestos.

The core value of AR glass lies in its superior alkali resistance. It effectively resists the erosion of the highly alkaline environment (mainly calcium hydroxide) generated during cement hydration, a key performance characteristic unmatched by ordinary glass fiber. This property ensures its long-term stable function within the cement matrix.

In addition to its core alkali resistance, AR glass also possesses a series of excellent comprehensive properties:

▷ Excellent Performance

It boasts extremely high elastic modulus, impact strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength, providing strong support for GRC products.

▷▷ Excellent Durability

It is non-flammable, freeze-resistant, and highly adaptable to temperature and humidity changes, giving products excellent weather resistance.

▷▷▷ Excellent Protective Performance

Outstanding crack resistance and water penetration resistance effectively improve the integrity and service life of components.

With these unique and powerful properties, alkali-resistant glass fiber has become a core reinforcing material widely used in high-performance reinforced concrete (GRC). It not only enhances the performance limits of cement products but also, due to its 100% inorganic, safe, and environmentally friendly characteristics, has become a new type of green and environmentally friendly reinforcing material driving the development of green buildings, injecting sustainable development vitality into the modern building materials field.
