Chemlead has partnered with Southeast University to conduct research on glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRP)

-2024.07.05

GFRP is a new type of construction material that offers several advantages over traditional steel-reinforced concrete, including:

1. High corrosion resistance: GFRP is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, making it an ideal choice for use in wet environments or coastal areas.

2. High strength-to-weight ratio: GFRP is much lighter than traditional steel reinforcement, but it can match or even exceed its strength. This makes it an ideal material for lightweight construction, which can be used to build lighter, more energy-efficient buildings.

3. High electromagnetic transparency: GFRP does not block electromagnetic waves, making it an ideal material for applications such as communication facilities and medical equipment.

4. Sustainability: GFRP is made from renewable resources and is recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly construction material.
