Composite Rebar
Fiberglass rebar, also known as GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) rebar, represents a departure from conventional steel reinforcement, offering a host of advantages that address some of the inherent limitations associated with traditional materials. Composed of high-strength glass fibers embedded in a polymer matrix, fiberglass rebar boasts an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making it a formidable contender for a variety of construction applications.
Here are some of the advantages of using FRP rebar in various applications:
-
The constituents of FRP include high-quality corrosion resistant vinyl ester resin that increases the lifespan of a concrete structure.
-
As compared with the traditional reinforcement material, FRP rebar is ¼ the weight of steel with 2x the tensile strength of steel.
- FRP rebar is non-conductive to electricity and heat making it an ideal choice for facilities like power generation plants and scientific installations.
-
Taking into account the long-term benefits of FRP rebar, it is a cost-effective product as compared with epoxy-coated or stainless steel.
- It is invulnerable to chloride ions and other chemical elements.
-
It can be manufactured in custom lengths, bends, and shapes.
- The installation process of FRP rebar is very convenient coupled with its property of being easy to cut and machined.
-
It is transparent to electrical field and radio frequencies.
-
A project reinforced with FRP rebar is maintenance free, enabling builders to avoid rehabilitation cost.
It may seem that fiberglass reinforcement is expensive while other traditional steel reinforcement is relatively inexpensive. In fact, fiberglass rebar is a cost-effective building material as it gives a concrete structure long lifespan without major maintenance.
Technical Parameter
Lightweight
¼ the weight of steel
Easy to cut
CurlF FRP rebar much more easy to cut. Safe time, safe money
Soft eyes
Mining
Temporary cutting
Application
Special civil engineering, tunnel construction, mining and inner-city infrastructure buildings: temporary and permanent anchors. Easy cuttability for tunnel-boring machines (TBM) in soft eyes, concrete reinforcement for underground railway construction and road tunnels, rock face stabilisation, soil nails, anchor pins, diaphragm walls, bored piles.
Thanks to the cut-able nature of GFRP bars, TBMs can get in/out of shafts/stations in a few minutes.
Never Corrosion
CurlF FRP rebar exceptional resistance to water and salinity. Does not rust or leach
Steel rebar rusts as soon as it is exposed to air
FRP rebar does not rust even in water
Steel Rebar VS FRP Rebar
Corrosion of internal reinforcing steel causes of inevitably concrete will crack
and CurlF rebar Never Corrosion
The corrosion resistance of CurlF composite rebar provide advantages to steel reinforcement in specialized environments.
Application
Building structures next to sea and in coastal regions which are exposed to severe corrosion,harbour installations, docks, underwater tunnels, desalinisation plants, breakwaters, embankments, quay walls, windmills, roads and buildings and concrete roadbases exposed to sea spray
High Tensile Strength
Twice the strength of steel
Tensile Strength ＞1000Mpa
FRP comprise rebar have high strength fibers,Their high strength and lightweight nature are useful in both commercial and engineering applications. Increasingly, they are increasingly used to replace traditional materials such as wood and metals such as steel, iron and aluminum.
Non-magnetic
No interference with sensitive enquipment
No interference with sensitive enquipment
Perfect for hospitals
Non-magnetic, will not affect the readings of the device
No conductivity & no frequency disturbance
Does not produce electrical sparks even cutting
Application
Sensitive functional areas in which electric and thermally non-conductive, induction-free, non-magnetic or signal-permeable reinforcements are necessary, high voltage installations, transformer buildings, railway and airport structures, slab roadways, frequency sensitive switching and control installations, telecommunications infrastructures, industrial systems with driverless transport systems, medical and research institutions
No Thermal Cycling Impact
No Thermal Cycling Impact
Thermal conductivity closer to concrete than steel. Ideal for areas with extreme temperature cycles.
Application
Building structures in cold and tropical areas, cold storage, thermal power stations
Highly Chemical Resistant
Exceptionally resistant to a range of chemicals
Application
Structures in aggressive chemical media environments: Sewage treatment and biogas plants, refineries, paper mills, sewer systems, underground garages also without floor coatings, industrial floor slabs, agrarian buildings such as silage and fertiliser silos
