| Feature | GFRP Rebar | Steel Rebar |
|---|---|---|
 Tensile Strength |
Up to 2x stronger than steel. | Approximately half the tensile strength of GFRP. |
 Weight |
About 75% lighter than steel. | Heavier, leading to increased transportation and handling costs. |
 Corrosion Resistance |
Non-corrosive, resistant to chloride ions and alkaline environments. | Prone to corrosion, especially in moist or saline environments, requiring additional protection. |
 Durability and Maintenance |
Requires no maintenance, with a service life extending beyond 100 years. | Requires regular maintenance to prevent corrosion, with a shorter service life. |
 Environmental Impact |
Non-toxic and recyclable, contributing to sustainable construction practices. | Production and corrosion treatment have a higher environmental impact. |
 Thermal Conductivity |
Low thermal conductivity, reducing thermal bridges and energy loss in buildings. | Higher thermal conductivity, potentially leading to inefficiencies in building insulation. |
 Electrical Conductivity |
Non-conductive, safe for use in applications sensitive to electrical interference. | Conductive, posing risks in environments where electrical insulation is required. |
 Magnetic Transparency |
Transparent to magnetic fields, suitable for MRI rooms and other sensitive environments. | Magnetic, not suitable for use in environments sensitive to magnetic fields. |
Leading producer and supplier of stronger, lighter, less expensive, and corrosion-free Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Rebar in Australia.
