What is GFRP Rebar?

Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebar, also known as Fiberglass rebar, is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant alternative to traditional steel reinforcement. This innovative material, composed of high-quality glass fibres bound by durable epoxy resin, offers superior tensile strength and durability, making it an essential component in modern construction.

Advantages of GFRP Rebar

Strength and Durability

GFRP rebar significantly outperforms conventional steel in tensile strength, enhancing the structural integrity of concrete constructions. Its high resistance to corrosion extends the lifespan of structures, making it ideal for harsh environments.

Lightweight and Cost-Effective

It is about 75% lighter than steel yet offers twice the strength, facilitating easier handling and transportation. This leads to faster installation, reduced labor costs, and, ultimately, lower total project costs due to its longevity.

Versatility

Customizable to various lengths, bends, and shapes, GFRP rebar meets specific project requirements, offering flexibility in design and application.

Non-Corrosive and Sustainable

Ideal for environments prone to corrosion, such as coastal areas, chemical plants, and areas with high humidity. Its non-corrosive nature eliminates the risk of rust, ensuring long-lasting structural integrity without the need for costly maintenance or repairs.

Eco-Friendly

As an environmentally friendly alternative to steel, GFRP rebar reduces the carbon footprint associated with steel production and corrosion treatment, contributing to more sustainable construction practices.

In wide range of construction projects, including:

  • Corrosion prone structures’ slabs – coastal projects, jetties
  • Water and chemical containing structures (Chemical storage tanks, water storage tanks, septic tanks, swimming pools)
  • Industrial and residential floors
  • Areas sensitive to magnetic and electrical interference (MRI rooms in hospitals)
  • Transportation infrastructure (bridges and roads)
