What is GFRP Rebar?

GFRP Rebar is composed of a polymer matrix reinforced with glass fibers, providing a lightweight yet durable solution for reinforced concrete structures. It outperforms steel rebar in strength, longevity, and resistance to environmental stressors.

Key Differences Between GFRP and Steel Rebar

• Strength: GFRP Rebar is twice as strong as steel, making it ideal for high-load applications.
• Lightweight: It is 75% lighter than steel, reducing transportation and installation costs.
• Corrosion Resistance: Unlike steel, GFRP does not rust, making it ideal for marine and water-sensitive environments.
• Cost-Effectiveness: While the upfront cost is slightly higher, GFRP Rebar reduces long-term maintenance and replacement expenses.
• High-Temperature Tolerance: GFRP Rebar withstands extreme temperatures, unlike steel, which weakens under heat.
• Ease of Transportation: It can be bent and transported more efficiently than steel rebar.

Composition Comparison

GFRP Rebar consists of a polymer resin matrix (vinyl ester, epoxy, or polyester) reinforced with glass fibers, while steel rebar is primarily composed of iron with carbon additives.

Durability and Performance

Due to its corrosion resistance, GFRP Rebar eliminates maintenance costs associated with rust and structural deterioration, making it a long-term, sustainable choice.
