Fiberglass rebar, FRP rebar, GRP rebar, composite rebar

Product Description

Fiberglass rebar, FRP rebar, GRP rebar, composite rebar Pulwell manufactures composite R-bars by combining the pultrusion process and an in-line winding & coating process for the outside sand surface. The FRP composite rebar is made from high strength glass fibers along with an extremely durable vinyl ester resin. The glass fibers impart strength to the rod while the vinyl ester resin imparts excellent corrosion resistance properties in harsh chemical and alkaline environments. For improved stiffness and mechanical properties a carbon/vinyl ester product is available. FRP rebar significantly improves the longevity of civil engineering structures where corrosion is a major factor. Reasons Why Composite R-bar is Superior to Epoxy Coated Steel Bar: ★ Non-corrosive ★ Tensile strength is more than twice that of steel ★ Non-metallic and non-conductive ★ Consistent modulus of elasticity ★ Deformation patterns are the same as with steel ★ Four times lighter than steel ★ Pre-fabricated ACI standard angles and bends available ★ Coefficient of thermal expansion more similar to concrete than that of steel
