Glasscoat Reinforcement in Resin
What Are the Benefits of Glass Fiber Reinforcement in Resin?
By Peter Gibson
Our Expert Specifying / Corrosion Engineer
Ten benefits of using glass fiber reinforcement in resin are:
- It improves the thermal stabilization of the coating
 - It improves the mechanical properties
 - Reduces moisture permeation of the coating
 - Extends coating life
 - Prevents cracking and peeling
 - Increases hardness – improves wear and abrasion resistance
 - Improves chemical resistance
 - Reduces the tensile stresses that build up in the coating, as is experienced with traditional chop and mat fibers
 - Improves the bond to steel and concrete
 - The coating is sprayed as one homogenous mass
