The widespread use of GFRP products encourages applied studies of various composite materials, their mechanical qualities and characteristics, and, equally important, research on the influence of various environmental factors on FRP characteristics. Fibre-reinforced polymers have become a cost-effective alternative to materials traditionally used in marine construction, civil engineering, agriculture, chemical and some other industries.Initially appreciated for better corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and lighter weight, the scope of application of FRP rebars has been continuously expanding. Reinforced concrete and iron bars are known for changing their properties and losing mechanical strength in the long term when exposed to humidity and water, some chemical substances, and thermal shock. Many fields of industrial and civil engineering began implementing modern materials, including FRP...

FRP products are continuously expanding applications and markets due to their outstanding properties. Improved functional performance of fibre-reinforced polymers compared to steel, most notably, corrosion and thermal resistance, durability, high tensile strength, and lightweight, has significantly widened FRP products’ applications. Faster installation and lower transportation and maintenance costs of FRP composite resulted in higher demand for FRP products. However, the sustainability of the manufacturing process and final products represent a significant concern in a global society. With the world going green and presenting new challenges for the manufacturing sector, one of the key aspects of any business is its environmental impact and ability to blend in the society, economy, and environment. Initially, pultrusion production of fibre-reinforced polymers was developed to...

Superb strength, thermal and electrical insulation, light weight, and non-corrosive characteristics of composite materials give a reason for wider employment of FRP products in various industries, for instance, water treatment units, agriculture, all sorts of offshore constructions, chemical industry, and civil engineering (freeways, bridges, and commercial and residential constructions).

When it comes to rebars used universally in industrial and civil fields, you might have been wondering about the differences between the FRP rebar and its steel counterpart. Despite obvious trends in various industries shifting to FRP rebars, some companies are still doubtful and conduct multiple pieces of research on FRP vs. steel prospects, characteristics, and performance. Content Steel Rebar and Its PropertiesFRP Rebar and Its PropertiesFRP rebar vs. Steel rebar Steel Rebar and Its Properties Steel is known for its great qualities deployed across various industries. The downside of steel is that it is prone to moisture and, consequently, corrosion. All sorts of chemical reactions, such as oxidation, generate a negative impact on steel properties eventually. Thus, steel rebar...

Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics (FRP) represent a state-of-the-industry composite material widely used in the construction of tanks and silos of various sizes. The FRP end product is received by reinforcing high-performance fiberglass and several types of resins. Given its durability, heat and corrosion resistance, the material has become a popular choice for manufacturing tanks meant for storing various substances.To enhance certain properties of FRP tanks and silos, certain grades of resin are used to manufacture silos and tanks for different applications. More specifically:- Orthophthalic resin is used for general-purpose tanks and provides containment properties.- Isophthalic resin provides enhanced wear resistance and chemical resistance. This resin type is used in manufacturing reservoirs and containers for industries where higher corrosion resistance is required.-...

FRP stands for Fiber-Reinforced Plastic, and it makes a worthy, budget-friendly alternative to steel. It is also alternatively known as fiber-reinforced polymer or Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP). Fiberglass rebars have been used for over 60 years already, and its strength is 3 times higher than steel reinforcement – the limit exceeds one thousand mega Pascal. Content What is GFRP Rebar?What Is GFRP Rebar Used For?Where Are GFRP Rebars Used? What is GFRP Rebar? Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics is a strong, lightweight construction material valued for its resistance to corrosion. Being essentially a spirally-twisted structural reinforcing rod, GFRP is frequently called composite because it is made of a combination of different substances, including plastic resin and fibers of glass. The mixture...

Composite rebar production is ramping up in speed like never before and the demand for it grows even faster than what current suppliers can digest. This makes more and more people consider the acquisition of FRP rebar production lines and Composite-Tech continues to support such requests as the industry leader. We receive hundreds of requests regarding our lines daily, but the most common question is how do we compare to the competition.

Fiberglass reinforcing mesh is designed for concrete reinforcement as well as road and highway overlays. It prolongs the pavement lifespan by reducing the effects of reflective cracking caused by traffic loads, age hardening and temperature cycling. This aids the pavement life span between service maintenance significantly. Fiberglass reinforcing mesh makes it possible to reduce thickness of asphalt concrete pavement of up to 20%, and is also applicable in strengthening of structures’ foundations.

Historically, rebar appears to be the most commonly used raw material in construction and the way we see it, there is no clear substitute to it. Whatever the built structure is, it must include concrete blocks, walls or foundation and all concrete must be reinforced. Steel rebar has long been the only option of concrete reinforcement but given that the construction landscape continues to evolve, there is now a substitute to steel and it is overwhelming. This substitute comes in the form of composite rebar and mesh. Such rebar is manufactured either from fiberglass or basalt and today, as an introductory post, we would like to go over the main benefits that FRP rebar carries and just how much more...
