GPRF rebars GFRP meshes
FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) is composite material. Composite materials are composed of two or more partitions. GFRP is composed by polymer matrix reinforced with high strength fibers. The fibers are the element resistant to the tensioning forces and the matrix is the element that transmits the forces among the fibers, giving in the same time a protection from the external environment.
Benefits of GFRP Rebar:
• High resistance to corrosion and aggressive environments.
• High tensile strength; 2 times higher compared to steel 1100-1300 MPa.
• Low weight; ¼ the weight of an equivalent size steel bar (savings on transportation).
• The lifecycle in concrete is up to 100 years.
• Durability.
• Continuous threaded profile.
• Flexibility.
• Cuttability.
• Anti-magnetic.
• High thermal isolation.
• No electrical conductivity.
• No toxic.
