Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer rebar (BFRP)
Introducing basalt rebar
Basalt rebar (Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer rebar) is a modern composite reinforcement made from continuous basalt fibers embedded in a polymer matrix. Produced from natural volcanic rock, it offers high strength, low weight, and exceptional resistance to corrosion compared to traditional steel reinforcement. In addition, basalt rebar is non-conductive, has low thermal conductivity, and provides long-term durability in aggressive environments. Basalt rebar is a safe, durable, and cost-effective solution that ensures long-term performance while reducing maintenance and life-cycle costs in modern construction projects.

Benefits of BFRP rebar
- مقاومة ممتازة للتآكل. Corrosion is a major challenge in construction projects that rely on steel rebar. Replacing steel with basalt rebar effectively eliminates this problem, as basalt is derived from natural volcanic rock and is inherently non-corrosive, ensuring greater durability and long-term structural reliability.
- مقاومة عالية للمواد الكيميائية. Basalt rebar demonstrates excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and salts. This makes it an ideal reinforcement solution for concrete structures exposed to aggressive chemical environments, ensuring long-term durability without degradation.
- خفيف الوزن. Basalt rebar is significantly lighter than steel, facilitating easier handling and installation.
- قوة عالية. BFRP rebar have high tensile strength, providing reliable reinforcement for concrete and enhancing the durability of structures.
