Fiberglass (GFRP) Rebar – High-Performance Non-Corrosive Concrete Reinforcement
Fiberglass (GFRP) Rebar is an advanced concrete reinforcement solution engineered to outperform traditional steel rebar in demanding environments. Manufactured using high-strength fiberglass rovings embedded in a durable resin matrix, this spiral-wrapped composite reinforcing rod delivers exceptional tensile strength while remaining lightweight and corrosion-free.
Designed for long-term structural reliability, GFRP Rebar is especially well-suited for projects where moisture, chemicals, salt exposure, or electromagnetic interference can compromise steel reinforcement. Unlike steel, FRP Rebar does not rust, conduct electricity, or interfere with magnetic fields, making it ideal for infrastructure, transportation, and specialized construction applications.
When used in concrete slabs subjected to heavy loads—such as bridge decks, parking structures, roadways, and driveways—FRP-reinforced concrete significantly extends service life. Independent performance evaluations show that properly engineered FRP-reinforced slabs can last up to 20 times longer than conventionally reinforced concrete under similar conditions.
Key Advantages of GFRP Rebar
-
Exceptional Tensile Strength: Provides greater tensile capacity than steel, improving crack control and structural performance.
-
Non-Conductive Properties: Electrically and thermally insulating, ideal for applications requiring safety around power, rail, or sensitive equipment.
-
Magnetic & Radar Transparency: Does not interfere with magnetic fields or radar signals, making it suitable for hospitals, research facilities, and transportation infrastructure.
-
Lightweight Design: Approximately 75% lighter than steel rebar, allowing for faster handling, reduced labor costs, and lower transportation expenses.
-
Permanent Corrosion Resistance: Will not rust or degrade; conservative projections estimate a service life exceeding 100 years in harsh environments.
Why Choose GFRP Rebar?
FRP Rebar offers a modern, cost-effective alternative to steel by reducing maintenance, extending structural lifespan, and improving installation efficiency. Its combination of durability, strength, and resistance to environmental damage makes it an excellent choice for long-lasting, high-performance concrete reinforcement.
