Alkali Resistant Glass Chopped Strand is made of Alkali Resistance Glass ARG fibers by cutting strand bundles into various length. It is utilized to reinforce Glassfiber Reinforcement Concrete (GRC), Calcium Silicate and Slag Gypsum products. It is also used as crack control material for normal concrete and cement mortar. it is widely applied in construction and civil engineering fields due to its greatly reduced weight, improved strength, aging-proof, and alkali resistance.
When 2 to 5% of ARG chopped strands are mixed into a simple 1:1 cement :sand and water matrix, a thin but strong form of concrete is produced. - GFRC. GFRC has a high compression strength along with good tensile and bending properties.
ZrO2 content is 16% in our regular products, but ZrO2 content of 14.5% products are also available.

Storage:
Alkali Resistant Glass Chopped Strand must remain in packaging material until just prior to their use. The storage temperature range is from 15°C to 35°C. The humidity range around the environment is from 35% to 65%. It likes clean, dry and cool, but hates water.
FAQ
Q: Is Alkali Resistant Glass Roving available?
A: Yes. The regular density is Tex2400. Just submit your requirements and inquiry.
Q: Is it E glass fibers coated with Alkali-resisting Agent?
A: No. Our product is REAL AR fibers. Please make difference from others.
Q: Do you have any in stock as samples?
A: It depends on your luck. We basically produce ARG chopped strands based on orders because it is irregular product.
Q: Could you provide its technical data sheet?
A: Sure. Please contact us soon.
