Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG)
A new concept of material was brought from England to the United States and Canada in 1977: a product now known as Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum, also referred to as Fiberglass Reinforced Gypsum (FRG) and Glass Reinforced Gypsum (GRG). This included gypsum plaster reinforced with glass fibers to produce a thin,lightweight, yet strong material.
Selecting A Product
When selecting the correct product, consider the overall desired outcome, either surface enhancement, reinforcement or both.
Most often, 1-2 layers of Pearlveil-110 (Series 100 Binder), 15 Mil are used on the outside surface of the part. See Technical Data Sheet for description and options.
For added part strength, the designer should consider 1-2 layers of Pearlveil-110, ounce layered behind the surface veil.

In India We Can Demonstrate With An Example
Low Cost, Eco-friendly house has been designed by IITM. IITM’s research team, with its world renowned back up of infrastructure and knowledge, has taken construction to a whole new level. The prudent team from the civil engineering department has developed environment-friendly houses at low cost using pre-fabricated panels, made from waste Gypsum, in campus.
