Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) is a composite material made of a polymer agent and glass fibers and alternative to traditional steel rebars in concrete structures. Fiber composites like boron- free glass fibers are extremely versatile and cost-effective. They offer advantages like lightweight, corrosion resistance, and high strength -to weight ratio.
Why use Glass Fiber Reinforcement Polymer (GFRP)?
GFRP is much lighter than steel, making it easier to handle and transport, which can reduce construction costs. Additionally, GFRP does not corrode like steel does, meaning it can last longer in harsh environments without needing regular maintenance or replacement. GFRP bar production generates 60% to 70% less CO2 emissions compared to steel rebar
GFR Bars
1) Bar diameters - 6mm to 16mm dia.
2) Bar Length- 6 to 12m, can be customized
3) Stirrups for columns â?? can be customized
GFR Features
1) 75% lighter than steel
2) 2x stronger than steel
3) Lower material and labor costs
4) Non-corrosive and Non- conductive
5) Superior shrinkage control
Material Composition
1) Fiberglass content -70 to 80%
2) Resin Type - Epoxy, polyester resin/vinyl ester
