  • Alkali resistant glass.
  • Makes highly durable GRC elements
  • Suitable for both premix and spray
  • Improves mechanical performance of GRC elements
  • Safe and easy to handle
  • Remains integral during mixing.
  • Ease of incorporation even at high dosage.Abrasion resistant strand.

Applications

ARGC™ is suited for the preparation of pre-bagged mixes of repair and top screed mortars. The product Also may be used in the manufacture of glass fiber reinforced concrete (GRC) composites by both premix and simultaneous spray methods.

Storage Conditions

ARGC™ must remain in packaging material until just prior to their use.
