FRP Bars for Concrete Reinforcement
FRP bars are made from composite materials (Fiberglass, Carbon Fiber or Basalt Fiber) and
manufactured by a pultrusion process using a mix of recycled fibers and resin with various additives.
FRP bar was developed as a non-corrosive, more sustainable, alternative to steel for concrete reinforcement. It is suitable for any structural or architectural concrete-based application where a material that is corrosion resistant, lightweight, or non-conductive is required.
