FRP/GRP 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.
Benefits Of FRP Rebar
- Lightweight/ High Strength
- High Impact Strength
- Great Flexural Strength
- Non-Corrosive
- Unsusceptible to Chemical Attack
- Electrically Non-Conductive
- Low Water Absorption
Advantages of FRP Rebar
Cost: Cost is a consistently important factor for any business. For construction, you always require the best material at alow cost. There are many materials available in the market, but GFRP Rebar is a low-cost material that provides the best quality for construction.
Temperature: This rebar can handle high-temperature stress. Such places like power stations, tunnels, mining etc., where the temperature is always high there you can use GFRP Rebar. This rebar melts at very high temperatures.
Strength: This rebar is two times stronger than steel reinforcing bars. The quality of GFRP Rebar is far better than other materials.
Weight: The weight of construction materials matters. The GFRP Rebar is ¼ of steel rebar, providing more quality than steel rebar.
