Key Sentence: Newly upgraded condensation-cure silicone formulas optimize molecular structure and reinforcing filler ratio, solving core pain points of large-size GRC mold shrinkage, deformation and short service life.
Traditional general-purpose condensation silicone often suffers from obvious shrinkage, edge tearing and permanent deformation after repeated GRC concrete pouring and demolding, resulting in unqualified size and blurred surface details of finished decorative components. To solve this industry problem, silicone manufacturers have launched customized GRC-grade condensation-cure silicone in 2026. By adjusting polymer molecular weight and adding high-purity reinforcing silica, the upgraded material achieves lower linear shrinkage (controlled within 0.4%) and significantly enhanced tear resistance.
This optimized silicone is specially adapted to the heavy-load pouring environment of GRC and GFRC materials. It can withstand the pressure of concrete slurry and frequent demolding operations, effectively extending mold service life. In addition, the new formula improves anti-aging and weather resistance, adapting to high-temperature and high-humidity workshop environments in tropical and subtropical regions. Field tests show that the upgraded GRC mold silicone can increase the repeated casting times of European-style decorative components by more than 30%, greatly reducing mold replacement frequency for GRC manufacturers.
