GFRP BENDS
Dura Composite’s Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebar is specifically engineered to offer exceptional flexibility, allowing it to bend smoothly and effortlessly during installation. This flexibility is a key feature that sets GFRP rebar apart from traditional steel reinforcement.
The unique composition of GFRP rebar, which consists of glass fibers embedded in a polymer matrix, provides the necessary strength and durability while also enabling it to be easily manipulated during construction. Unlike steel reinforcement, which can be rigid and difficult to bend, GFRP rebar offers a high degree of flexibility without compromising its structural integrity.
WHY NEOBARS ?
NEOBAR (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) rebars is a high tensile strength alternative to steel reinforcement. Made from fibers like fiberglass or carbon fiber combined with a polymer resin matrix.
Whole of Life Savings
NEOBAR rebar has a 100 year design life cycle. Zero maintenance costs.
High Tensile Strength
Twice the strength of steel.
Corrosion Resistant
Exceptional resistance to water and salinity. Does not rust, leach or cause concrete cancer.
Highly Chemical Resistant
Exceptionally resistant to a range of chemicals.
Lightweight
FRP rebar is ¼ the weight of steel.
Highly Durable
Over 100 years retention of strength and modulus in high pH environments.
Low Environmental Impact
Consumes approximately 85% the embodied energy of steel.
Non-electromagnetic
Non-conductive and electro-magnetically neutral.
Non-Magnetic
No interference with sensitive equipment.
Easy to cut and install
Cuts easily using standard cutting tools. Faster to work with on-site. Bends delivered ready to place.
Low Thermal Conductivity
Maintains good thermal insulation values. Promotes energy efficiency in buildings.
No Thermal Cycling Impact
Thermal expansion coefficient closer to concrete than steel. Ideal for environments with extreme temperature cycles.
