What is the difference between GRC component and cement component? Both GRC components and cement components are widely used in real life, but they are quite different in use. The following Ouya Construction Engineering explains the difference between GRC components and cement components in detail:
What are the differences between GRC components and cement components

1： First, analyze the material:
GRC component is a kind of fiber cement composite material with alkali resistant glass fiber as reinforcement material and cement mortar as matrix material, while cement component is relatively simple, which is mainly composed of cement, sand, river stone, water, etc. by mixing in proportion. Compared with the two, the material of GRC component is relatively complex.
GRC component material composition:
1) Cement: cement commonly used in GRCAR alkali resistant glass fiber mainly includes quick hardening sulphoaluminate cement, low alkalinity sulphoaluminate cement, ordinary Portland cement and white Portland cement.
2) Fiber: The fiber used in GRC material must be alkali resistant glass fiber, including alkali resistant glass fiber roving, alkali resistant glass fiber chopped yarn, and alkali resistant glass fiber gridding cloth. European and American countries require that the zirconia content of glass fiber used in GRC shall not be less than 16.5%, and China requires that the zirconia content of ordinary Portland cement shall not be less than 16.5%.

3) Polymer: usually added polymer is acrylic emulsion, namely acrylate copolymer emulsion.
4) Admixtures: Generally, superplasticizer, plasticizer, retarder, early strength agent, antifreeze, rust inhibitor and other admixtures can be selectively added: when products contain steel reinforcement materials or steel embedded parts, calcium chloride based admixtures shall not be used.
5) Other materials: some pozzolanic active materials can be selectively added to improve the comprehensive performance of GRC products, such as strength, impermeability, durability, etc.

Second: Comparison of characteristics:
Cement components have the characteristics of high strength, strong weather resistance, convenient construction and maintenance, and high cost performance, while GRC components have many characteristics such as fire prevention, waterproof, environmental protection, anti pollution, good sound insulation, strong seismic performance, and diverse shapes, which are incomparable to cement components.
Third: Comparison in terms of use:
Cement components generally include cement colored bricks, cement pipe fittings, cement cover plates, profiled cement components, curbstones, retaining wall manhole cover plates, reinforced concrete floatation, lawn bricks, pavement bricks, aerated bricks, cable cover plates, inspection openings, curbstones, etc., which are more practical in life;
GRC components focus on the external decoration of buildings. The buildings decorated by GRC components have magnificent appearance and high artistic and appreciation value. For example, GRC Roman columns, GRC door and window covers, GRC decorative lines, etc. are all GRC components.
The above differences between GRC components and cement components can be shared here. Although GRC components and cement components are quite different, there is no doubt that they play a role in their respective fields of use. GRC components have high compressive strength, impact resistance, bending mechanical properties, and good outdoor weather resistance, which can meet a variety of modeling requirements Stone like paint has good affinity.
