FRP-REBAR
FRP/GFRP REBAR
FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer) Rebar is a spiral wrapped structural reinforcing rod made from a combination of fiberglass roving and resin. FRP Rebar has been developed as a non-corrosive alternative to steel in concrete reinforcement and is suitable for any structural or architectural application where a material that is corrosion resistant, lightweight or non-conductive is required.
FEATURES OF FRP REBAR
- Lightweight/ High Strength
- Unsusceptible to Chemical
- High Impact Strength
- Electrically Non-Conductive
- Great Flexural Strength
- Low Water Absorption
- Non-Corrosive
ADVANTAGES OF FRP REBAR
- COST Cost is an important factor for any construction industry. Out of all the material available in the market, GFRP is a cost effective material that provides best quality for construction.
- STRENGTH Rebar is twice stronger than steel reinforcing bars. The quality of GFRP Rebar is far better than other materials.
- WATER RESISTANT Rebar is water resistant, this property makes it fit to be used near water facilities, dams, docks, etc.
- MECHANICAL STRENGTH Rebar has a specific resistance better than steel rebars.
- NON-MAGNETIC Due to its Non-Magnetic character, it is suitable for hospitals, MRI rooms, laboratories & other uses.
- TEMPERATURE Rebar has high melting point, hence can withstand high temperature stress. Power stations, tunnels, mines, etc., where the temperature is always high, GFRP Rebar is good alternative.
- WEIGHT The GFRP Rebar is almost 1/4th in weight providing more quality than steel rebar.
- LONG LIFE SPAN Rebar provides over 100 yrs of life span of buildings or construction.
- THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY Low thermal conductivity makes it highly useful in construction industry.
- SIZE GFRP Rebar can be manufactured in customized length and width.
