GFRP

Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers are a proven and successful alternative that have numerous advantages over traditional reinforcement methods, giving structures a longer service life. The GFRP rebar is a structural ribbed reinforcing bar made of high strength and corrosion resistant glass fibres that are impregnated and bound by an extremely durable polymeric epoxy resin.
This combination equals an engineered material system resulting in unique attributes that replace and supersede typical materials such as galvanized, epoxy coated and stainless steel rebar.

ADVANTAGES FOR USING GFRP

• 80+ years of lifespan and corrosion resistance
• 9 x lighter in weight than the equivalent strength of Steel rebar
• 3 x tensile strength of steel
• Non-conductive to heat and electricity
• Non-magnetic (transparent to electrical fields)
• High Fatigue endurance and Impact Resistance
• Non-existent corrosion, rust free
• Transparent to radio frequencies
• Cost effective vs. epoxy coated, galvanized and stainless steel rebar
• Impervious to chloride ion, low pH chemical attack and bacteriological growth
• Reduced whole of life project costs
• Low carbon footprint
• Maintenance free
• Standard/custom lengths, shapes and bends
• Non Toxic
• Easily cut and machined
• Easy and Rapid Installation
