High-performance polymer-modified gypsum casting system.
- Fast demold times
- Excellent dimensional stability
- Reinforce with fiberglass
- Low-odor, water-based
- Artistic and architectural applications
Concrete & Gypsum Additives provide a range of solutions for enhancing the performance of gypsum and concrete materials. These additives are particularly beneficial in creating strong, lightweight composites that are both durable and workable. They are widely used in various applications, including sculpture, architectural panels, decorative concrete, restoration, and model making.
Matrix™ G is a high-performance polymer-modified gypsum casting system known for its fast demold times and excellent dimensional stability. It is reinforced with fiberglass and is low-odor and water-based,… making it suitable for artistic and architectural applications.
VF-812 is a water-based polymer emulsion that enhances the properties of alpha gypsum for various casting and lay-up applications. It boasts a Class A flame rating and high tensile and compressive strengths, making it ideal for demanding projects.
Melamine Dry Resin is a durable thermosetting polymer used extensively as a binder, coating, and reinforcement material. It enhances wood and textiles, providing hardness, heat resistance, and moisture protection.
VF-744 is a UV-resistant acrylic co-polymer for GFRC, the world-wide standard for making lightweight Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete panels. It enhances workability, reduces water absorption, and prevents micro-cracks, while improving pigment dispersion.
