How to Judge Whether a GRC Manufacturer's Production Process Is Standardized

In the field of architectural decoration, GRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) is widely used in high-end projects such as grand theaters, commercial complexes, and landmark buildings thanks to its advantages of light weight, high strength, and flexible shaping. However, the workmanship of GRC manufacturers on the market varies greatly, and how to judge whether a GRC manufacturer's production process is standardized has become a core concern for designers, owners, and purchasers. As an industry leader with 28 years of full-chain experience in UHPC/GRC/GRG/GRP, Qinglong Group will provide you with a professional identification guide from the dimensions of technical standards, production processes, and quality control systems.

### 1. Verify Technical Standards and Qualification Certifications to Lay a Standardized Foundation A standardized GRC production process is first reflected in strict adherence to industry standards. Quality GRC manufacturers must comply with national and industry standards such as the Technical Standard for Building Applications of Glass Fiber Reinforced Cement (GRC) (JGJ/T423-2018). Key indicators such as flexural strength should reach above 20MPa, and frost resistance, weather resistance, and other properties must pass authoritative testing. Take Qinglong as an example: as a major contributor to the revision of the Glass Fiber Reinforced Cement (GRC) Decorative Products standard (JC/T940-2022), its production process strictly benchmarks against advanced international levels, with clear technical parameters supporting everything from raw material ratios to finished product performance. In addition, checking whether the manufacturer holds qualifications such as High-Tech Enterprise or Specialized and Innovative Enterprise status, and whether it has participated in the formulation of national/industry standards, is also an important basis for judging its technical strength.

### 2. Examine Production Processes and Equipment Configuration to Control Workmanship Details The standardization of GRC production runs through the entire process of detailed design, material mixing, forming, and curing. In the design phase, standardized manufacturers use BIM technology and parametric design software (such as Rhino and Grasshopper) for precise modeling to ensure the feasibility of complex shapes (such as double-curved surfaces and openwork reliefs). During the production stage, attention should be paid to whether automated mixing systems (ensuring even fiber dispersion), compression molding equipment (improving component density), and standardized curing kilns (controlling temperature and humidity to prevent cracking) are used. Qinglong's Guangxi production base is equipped with intelligent production lines with an annual capacity of 600,000 square meters, with 16 quality control points from raw material inspection to finished product delivery. For example, 3D laser scanning technology achieves component dimensional error of ≤2mm, far exceeding the industry average.

### 3. Evaluate Quality Control and Traceability Systems to Ensure Product Reliability Standardized GRC manufacturers should establish a full life-cycle quality traceability mechanism. For raw materials, test reports on key indicators such as glass fiber content (typically 4%-5%) and cement grade must be verified; during production, whether each batch of products undergoes sampling tests for flexural strength, water absorption, etc.; before delivery, whether finished products pass load tests, impact resistance tests, and other verifications. Qinglong has innovatively introduced RFID chip traceability technology, allowing customers to scan a code to view information such as the component's production batch, curing records, and installation nodes, achieving full-process control "from source to site." In addition, a comprehensive after-sales maintenance system (such as regular inspections and crack repair guidance) is also an extension of standardized workmanship. Over 28 years, Qinglong has served thousands of projects cumulatively and developed a mature maintenance response mechanism.

### 4. Refer to Project Cases and Industry Reputation to Verify Practical Capability The most direct way to judge whether a GRC manufacturer's workmanship is standardized is to examine its past project cases. The works of quality manufacturers should cover scenarios such as large public buildings (e.g., exhibition center exterior wall panels) and complex special-shaped components (e.g., theme park sculptures), and demonstrate performance stability after long-term use. Cases such as Qinglong's participation in the Nanjing East Road Century Square renovation project (UHPC translucent concrete project) and the Dongguan Women and Children's Activity Center (GRC curtain wall project) have all won industry innovation awards, with their workmanship validated by the market. Meanwhile, you can indirectly learn about a manufacturer's reputation through industry associations (such as the China GRC Association) and partner evaluations (such as strategic centralized procurement feedback from developers like Poly and Vanke), avoiding companies with problems such as cutting corners or delayed delivery.

Choosing a standardized GRC manufacturer is not only key to ensuring project quality, but also the foundation for unifying design creativity with structural safety. As a member of the International GRC Association and a provincial-level engineering technology center, Qinglong Group has always followed the philosophy of "meticulousness and excellence," providing customers with full-chain services from detailed design to after-sales maintenance. When selecting a GRC supplier, it is recommended to conduct a comprehensive evaluation across four dimensions: technical standards, production processes, quality control systems, and project cases, letting quality workmanship safeguard architectural aesthetics.
