Product Description

 

Product Description

Glass fiber reinforced plastic bar is used for efficient construction, because it is lighter, cheaper and stronger than steel.GFRP, or Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer, is a composite material that has the potential to be transformative in various constructive industries. GFRP Rebar is an economical, safe, and long-term sustainable solution, offering both initial and long-term cost savings. Fiberglass rebar has enjoyed a rise in popularity thanks to the many key advantages it offers over its steel rebar. 

Application

Industrial construction, special purpose objects.Elements of railway sleepers for high-speed trains and underground railroads.
Residential and civil construction.
Construction and strengthening of roads, bridge building & reconstruction.
Marine and harbor facilities, shoreline reinforcement.
Reinforcement of concrete structures and mixed reinforced concrete structures.
Construction of agricultural structures.

Benefits

 

• Excellent corrosion resistance. GFRP rebar effectively resists corrosion and so can last much longer than standard rebar. Composite rebar minimizes maintenance needs.
• Highly Chemical Resistant.  GFRP rebar resistant to chemical acids, salt ions, and the inherent alkaline bases of concrete that cause premature deterioration.
• Lightweight. FRP rebar is 9 times lighter than steel, making it easier to transport and install.
• High Strength. Despite its lightweight properties, GFRP rebar offers impressive strength-to-weight load-bearing performance.

FAQ

What is fiberglass rebar?

GFRP rebar is a spiral wrapped structural reinforcing rod made from a combination of fiberglass roving and resin.

How to bend fiberglass rebar?

The GFRP rebar can't be bent outside the production process. If you need bent bars turn your attention to bent bars (stirrups).

How to use fiberglass rebar?

GFRP rebar is very suitable to use in the applications where steel rebar is limited to its properties. For example where corrosion is a problem such as in a humid, coastal or when a radio transparent structure is needed.

How do I make concrete adhere to fiberglass rebar?

Bestfiberglassrebar has a winding (thin fiberglass bundle with a spiral longitudinal arrangement of fiberglass), which acts as an adhesion to concrete and transfers forces to the main rod using an epoxy binder.

How to cut fiberglass rebar?

GFRP rebar can be cut with a circular saw with cutting wheel, a manual rebar cutter, bolt cutters or grinder.

What materials such as steel and fiberglass used to make rebar?

The technological process of production of fiberglass reinforcement is based on the development of rebar of continuous glassfiber filaments, imbued with an epoxy binder together with the next process of hot hardening, going on in the polymerization tunnel-like chamber.

Where to know fiberglass rebar cost?
You can find out the cost of rebar in the Products section or by the specified contact detail from the company manager.

How to fiberglass rebar compared to steel rebar?

GFRP rebar has tensile strength of over 1000 MPa. This is over twice the tensile strength of steel rebar, which is typically 400 to 500 MPa. Steel rebar has a high modulus of elasticity (400-500 GPa), while GFRP rebar has 46-60 GPa. However, GFRP rebar doesn't expensive concrete waterproofing additives required, has zero maintenance costs, GFRP rebar is lighter than steel - saves on freight, speeds up installation, and reduces labor requirements.

What better steel rebar or fiberglass?
Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. The choice of the type of rebar must be done personally for each construction project.
