GFRC is a Portland cement-based composite reinforced with glass fibers that is alkali resistant. Use in Europe since 35 years.

Building codes

GFRC is covered in Section 1903.11 of the Uniform Building Code and in ICBO’s Evaluation Report ER-4359, Section 1406.3 of the National Building Code, Section 1910 of the Standard Building Code, and Table 719.1 (2) items 15-1.10 and 15-1.11 of the International Building Codes.

Fire Endurance

GFRC made of cement, glass fibers, sand and water is non-combustible and meets the requirements of ASTM E136. When used as a surface material, its flame spread is zero. In addition, tests for non-combustibility, ignitibility, and fire propagation have been conducted in England in accordance with the appropriate British Standard on “Fire Tests on Building Materials and Structures”. BS 476.

GFRC made with polymer curing admixtures will meet the requirements of NFPA Class A and UBC Class I when tested according to ASTM E84, resulting in a “0” Flame Spread Rating and less than 5 smoke density.

GFRC can be designed to provide one and two hour fire rating. The rating is defined in ASTM E119.
