GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforcing Polymer) Rebar is a high tensile strength alternative to steel reinforcement. It is made by weaving high quality glass fibers into a fabric before being impregnated with polymers and formed into a round bar.GFRP rebar is lightweight, has no corrosion, has superior tensile strength, and has high mechanical performance. It is ideal as reinforcement in reinforced concrete structures.
Material doesn't corrode and provides high-grade resistance to chemicals. Suitable for environments exposed to water, salt & humidity.
Perfect solution for reinforcement in high voltage & high magnetic fields.
