FRP RU-BAR.COMPOSITE are rods of almost any length and diameter from 4 to 32 mm. Due to its unique technical characteristics and light weight, it has found wide application in industrial, civil, private and road construction.

The production technology of FRP composite rebar for concrete reinforcement was invented in Russia in the twentieth century.

Today, FRP RU-BAR.COMPOSITE rebar is used for concrete reinforcement in Russia, Europe, Asia, America.

Fixators and chairs are used to create a protective layer (thickness from 15 to 50 millimeters) between the RU-BAR armature with a diameter of 4 to 20 mm and formwork when building monolithic concrete structures – slab foundations, grillage, piles, walls, columns, ceilings. Fixators are installed on the reinforcement before concrete pouring. Fixing devices favorably differ in ease of use, reliability and simplicity. The consumption of fixators varies between 4-10 pieces per square meter. Material of manufacture: polyethylene, polypropylene.

FRP rebar – rods with embossed surface of almost any length with a diameter from 4 to 32 mm. The production bases on basalt and glass fibers soaked and bonded together by using composition with a high content of epoxy resin.

Broaching and twisting of fibers is executed by own-designed industrial machinery. Then the rebar is polymerized in tunneling ovens at high temperatures. Afterward, the profile is ribbed and cooled. Quality control is carried out at every stage of production. The company has passed the ISO 9001 certification. We test our finished products in a modernly equipped laboratory.

Due to impeccable compliance with manufacturing technologies, composite rebar has the following benefits:

  • Lightweight. The product is approximately eight times lighter than steel rebar, which reduces the load on the foundation.
  • Strength. The composite rebar can withstand tensile and compressive loads (up to 1,200 MPa).
  • Low thermal conductivity. The use of rods for wall reinforcement allows avoiding thermal bridges, which increases the energy efficiency of the building.
  • Radio transparency. The material permits the passage of radio waves and doesn’t affect equipment operation. Consequently, it can find application in different types of construction, including construction of research facilities.
  • Affordability. The price of composite rebar is reasonable. It is lower than the price of a steel rebar of the same diameter.
  • Durability. The operational characteristics of the product are preserved for more than 80 years, due to its resistance to corrosion and other adverse environmental factors.

You can buy eco-friendly FRP rebar in the needed quantity from our company. With our own productive capacity, we fulfill standard and large-scale orders, including the period of the high seasonal demand. Contact us!

Composite rebar is a material that has found wide application in different areas. The combination of lightweight, strength, durability, and affordability creates a high demand for the product. It is used in various areas of application, but the main one is construction.

 

What is the purpose of composite rebar?

 

The purchase of the product will be relevant to companies specializing in the following areas:

  • Foundation installation for different types of facilities. The material ideally fits for reinforcing concrete structures. It is moisture-resistant, which enables the use of composite rebar in regions where groundwaters are close to the surface. Its application ensures quick and cheap installation of a foundation that can withstand heavy loads.
  • Road construction. One of the common ways of building roadbeds is laying asphalt surfaces. They have a high rate of deterioration, but the composite rebar application can reinforce them. Rebar placement reduces the probability of potholes formation and displacement of layers.
  • Construction of marine structures. Reinforced concrete is usually used to construct jetties, berths, and other buildings in the vicinity of bodies of water. As corrosion is inevitable in contact with water, steel rods are not suited to the reinforcement of such structures. The alternative is composite rebar.
  • Construction of parking facilities. These areas must be able to withstand heavy loads without deteriorating under the weight of vehicles. Due to this fact, the foundations need reinforcement. It is vital to understand that there is a risk of rebars coming into contact with aggressive substances. Steel rebar gets covered with rust which degenerates the concrete layer by displacing it. The use of composite rebar ensures that such consequences will not arise.
  • Railway construction. The composite rebar is used for laying railway sleepers, constructing specific sites and platforms. The composite rebar is impervious to adverse environmental factors, including weathering ones, so it retains its functionality for a long time.
  • Agriculture. There exists a good practice of applying composite rebar in the construction of greenhouses and livestock housings. GFRP rebar is strong and low conductive, which allows maintaining a constant temperature inside the premises.

Also, composite rebar is applied in the metro, bridge, vineyard and other agricultural facilities, private construction. If you need any further information – feel free to contact us.
