The Forton VF Series is a range of polymer additives that significantly improve the performance of concrete and gypsum. These additives are particularly beneficial for creating Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) and enhancing alpha gypsum properties.
Forton VF-744
UV-resistant acrylic co-polymer designed for GFRC.
Enhances workability and strength while reducing water absorption.
Prevents micro-cracks and complies with PCI MNL-130 Annex G.
Improves pigment dispersion for consistent coloration.
Forton VF-812
Water-based polymer emulsion that enhances alpha gypsum properties.
ASTM E-84 Class A flame rating ensures safety in various applications.
Ultimate tensile strength: 35.2 MPa (5,100 psi).
Compressive strength: 62.1 MPa (9,000 psi).
Maximum temperature resistance: 93.3°C (200°F).
These additives are ideal for construction, sculpture, and mold-making professionals, improving durability, strength, and workability in their projects.
UV-resistant acrylic co-polymer for GFRC. The world-wide standard concrete additive for making lightweight GFRC, Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete, panels.
Water-based polymer emulsion that enhances alpha gypsum properties for various casting and lay-up applications.
