High strength, corrosion resistance, reduced maintenance requirements! South African fiberglass composite manufacturer GFRP Tech launches new GFRP rebar
GFRP Tech, a South African manufacturer of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) products, has launched a new GFRP rebar product range, the EnviraBar rebar, which offers a sustainable alternative to conventional steel bars. Unlike ordinary steel, EnviraBar is corrosion-resistant and has a higher tensile strength, ensuring long-term structural integrity while reducing maintenance requirements. EnviraBar further reduces the risk of environmental pollution.
According to the head of GFRP Tech, the South African construction industry is in urgent need of structural reinforcement solutions that are not only stronger, more durable and more ductile than traditional steel bars, but also more environmentally friendly. "These products are 75% lighter than steel, three times stronger than steel, corrosion-resistant and durable," the head said.
