GRG (Glass Fibre Reinforced Gypsum)
|
| |
|
plastec GRG (Glass Fibre Reinforced Gypsum) consists of high grade Alpha gypsum, alkaline resistance glass-fibres strand and approved silicon additive for moisture resistance properties. Its does not contain any asbestos or other inorganic fibres. GRG has high impact strength and allow fabrication of strong, durable and resilient gypsum product, its fire resistant comply the building authority fire code. Hence with superb fabrication flexibility and fast installation, it is ideal for variety of architectural applications.
