The application of BFRP Rebar is gaining acceptance, mainly because of its non-corrosive nature, high specific strength, high specific stiffness, and lower specific weight relative to steel.
BFRP Rebar is an environmentally friendly alternative to steel Rebar.
BFRP Rebar doesn’t rust, has the same thermal expansion coefficient as concrete, is resistant to water and alkaline, and is not affected by ultraviolet light, thus extending its life span to over 100 years.
Basalt Rebar is manufactured using innovative Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer composite technology.
Rebar made of BFRP is 100% noncorrosive, water-resistant, and will not rust over time.
Basalt fiber is friendly to the environment, Comparing BFRP Rebar production to steel; it reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 5.24 tons of coal equivalent per ton
Rebar made from Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer has less than 74%the carbon footprint of steel
Basalt rebar reinforcement is an alternative to steel for reinforcing concrete. Made from volcanic rock, basalt rebar is lighter and stronger than steel with a higher tensile strength. Much lighter than steel, 75% in fact!
Basalt Fiber Rebar (BFR) is an outstanding product for concrete reinforcement that holds good promise for the construction industry.
