Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2018 - 2026
Glass fiber reinforced gypsum (GFRG) was invented in England in 1977. It is manufactured by reinforcing high density alpha-based gypsum plaster with glass fibers. The gypsum plaster needs to be low alkalinity and neutral in order to ensure its compatibility with "E" glass fibers. Other additives are also added to the mixture, depending upon the gypsum manufacturer's recommendations. The resultant product is light, strong, and fire-retardant. It can be molded into many shapes and products. It is also known as fiberglass reinforced gypsum (GFRG) and glass reinforced gypsum (GRG).
