Fiberglass coated felt has many applications in architecture, which also requires that fiberglass can resist the alkaline components in cement compounds, so as to ensure the strength and service life of fiberglass coated felt products. Since the 1950s, people have been exploring the use of fiberglass reinforced cement, in order to achieve light and strong cement products.

However, the medium alkali glass fiber used at that time was quickly corroded in cement and lost its strength, which made the cement products with poor durability. It was not until 1970 that the British Pilkington company and the British Institute of Building Research invented the alkali-resistant glass fiber containing oxidation, and the fiberglass reinforced cement (GRC) entered the practical application. After alkali - resistant glass fiber was developed, it was used to enhance ordinary Portland cement for GRC products. GRC products has a wide range of applications, especially in the application of construction project is more extensive, main show is: (1) applied in the construction projects, foreign GRC products mostly outdoor applications, such as GRC cladding, GRC imitation stone artifacts, the application of GRC is focused on indoor, with GRC lightweight partition board and insulation board used most widely in GRC; (2) Civil and municipal engineering. Foreign applications in this field mainly include permanent formwork, water supply and drainage pipes and sound insulation walls of expressways or high-speed railways, etc. Domestic applications in this field are few and need to be strengthened; (3) In agricultural water conservancy projects, GRC canals and GRC embankments for agricultural water supply and irrigation are widely used abroad, while GRC granaries are mainly used in China.
