Fiberglass Rebar

FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer) Rebar is a spiral wrapped structural reinforcing rod made from a combination of fiberglass roving and resin. FRP Rebar has been developed as a non-corrosive alternative to steel in concrete reinforcement and is suitable for any structural or architectural application where a material that is corrosion resistant, lightweight or non-conductive is required.

BENEFITS

FRP Rebar Offers Many Benefits Over Standard Steel Rebar:
• Lightweight (1/4 the Weight vs. Steel Rebar)
• Non-Corrosive & Unsusceptible to Chemical Attack
• Radar Transparent
• Electrically & Thermally Non-Conductive
