The Dead End of the Imitation GRC

China introduced GRC technology in the 1990s, and it has been widely applied since then. Due to the late start domestically, inadequate enforcement of industry standards, and property owners' lack of understanding about this new material, merely achieving a superficial resemblance was deemed sufficient, providing opportunities for unscrupulous profit-seekers. Consequently, GRC in China has been compromised, with the use of cheap materials and crude craftsmanship. The successive development of European-style architectural properties across the country, coupled with the booming real estate market, has led to the widespread adoption of GRC.

Several years have passed, and when we look again at these real estate projects decorated with roughly crafted GRC, we find them either cracked or peeling off; in more severe cases, they have even fallen onto vehicles and injured people, which is shocking. Among the victims are not a few well-known real estate companies and owners of high-end residential communities.

As a result, designers and property owners began to question the GRC material, believing it to be cheap and of substandard quality. Meanwhile, the costs and prices of copycat factories in domestic family workshops continued to plummet, creating a chaotic situation in the entire domestic GRC market. The management team of Xindaxin, having been exposed to overseas markets and well-informed about the domestic situation, knew full well that GRC produced through authentic craftsmanship could withstand everyone's scrutiny. The current situation arose because both domestic peers and others in the country lacked sufficient understanding of GRC, let alone expertise. With decades of experience in overseas high-end projects, the Xindaxin management team is willing to lead the industry, assist manufacturers and customers in standardizing norms, and restore confidence.

Xindaxin Company promises that all its materials have undergone testing by authoritative departments, that its processes strictly adhere to the British GRCA and American PCI standards, and that its quality procedures strictly comply with the ISO9001 standards. Every product is a work of art, capable of withstanding customer scrutiny, with absolutely no cutting corners or substituting inferior materials for good ones.

Suntax Company reminds that the GRC with fiber mesh employs a hand-lay-up process, resulting in ineffective control over the product's density, strength, and thickness, which can easily lead to cracking and fracture. Suntax's products, however, are manufactured by coaxially spraying fibers and mortar using British-made spraying equipment, followed by layer-by-layer rolling and compression, with a fiber content of approximately 5%. Products with steel bars are not considered GRC; due to the inadequate compactness caused by the hand-lay-up process in copycat factories, the built-in steel bars may rust and expand after installation, causing the product to detach. Suntax's products exclusively use stainless steel embedded parts, and their compactness is ensured through spraying and lamination, along with two layers of waterproofing treatment, making them safe and reliable. GRC installed by welding is unreliable, as on-site welding makes it impossible to track and inspect, and loose or rusty welds can lead to serious consequences. Suntax's products all use galvanized iron parts and are installed with screws, ensuring secure positioning.

Xindaxin Company once again reminds its vast customers that construction is a project of lasting significance, and one should not sow the seeds of disaster today for the sake of the cheap prices offered by copycat factories, only to find their cozy nests riddled with hidden dangers later on. Meanwhile, we also hope that our peers who are still producing and selling counterfeit GRC products will not endanger others' safety for petty profits. Our industry requires regulation and rectification, and Xindaxin is willing to make progress together with everyone.
