GLASS FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER

Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) is an advance concrete technology application designed as steel
replacement and reinforcement and compliant with ACI 440 Guidelines. It is a plastic composite with glass fibers arranged in a polymeric matrix to form a strong, extremely light, and highly versatile construction material that has been used for more than a decade in industrialized countries.

ADVANTAGES

3X Stronger

This material achieves tensile strength up to 3 times higher than steel, from 1000 MPa to 1200 MPa, due to glass fibers in the polymer matrix.

Non-Corrosive

Resistant to chloride ion attack, toxic conditions, and chemical exposure. Also withstands concrete alkalinity, ensuring long-term structural durability.

Lightweight

Weighs only 25% of steel rebar, resulting in significant savings on installation and transport. Reduced weight simplifies handling, leading to faster construction.

Economical Price

Requires minimal maintenance and no special storage, which lowers overall upkeep costs. Its lightweight nature reduces shipping and installation expenses, making it a cost-effective solution.

Non-Conductive

Offers excellent electrical and thermal insulation, effectively resisting heat transfer. This makes it ideal for insulating sensitive equipment and building exteriors.

Electromagnetic Neutrality

Features non-conductive and non-electromagnetic properties, preventing stray electrical currents from causing interference. Ensures stable operation in environments with sensitive electronics.

Magnetic Transparency

Non-magnetic and free from ions, making it ideal for use near sensitive magnetic equipment. Ensures no interference with magnetic apparatus, maintaining operational stability.

Use Cases

GFRP rebar is a lightweight, durable alternative to steel rebar, offering high strength, flexibility, and resistance to heat, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Ideal for commercial and industrial projects, it enhances stability and performance.

GFRP overcomes corrosion issues and serves as non-prestressed reinforcement in concrete for flexure, shear, and compression. It is installed using the same methods as steel rebar.

GFRP materials are highly advantageous in various construction projects due to their unique properties:
