The Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited (GSFC) will soon export its first consignment of nylon fibre industrial products to African countries, a top company official said today. "This followed the Patent Office granting patent to GSFC for the GUJCON products -- a process for the preparation of nylon 6 discrete fibres for secondary reinforcement in concrete and plaster applications," Sudeep Kumar Nanda, CMD of GSFC, told agency. The products, called GUJCON concrete reinforced fibre (CRF) and GUJCON nylon reinforced fibre (PRF), have applications in the infrastructure industry for secondary fibre reinforcement of concrete and plaster, respectively, he said.
These products are made up of 100 percent virgin nylon 6 fibre, which helps in enhancing the abrasion resistance and durability of concrete structures, reduces shrinkage cracks, rebound loss and water permeability. It also ups the aesthetic value of the structure, he further said. The company exported the first consignment of this product to Myanmar about two weeks ago, he added.
