THE BFRP REBAR IS PERFECT FOR SWIMMING POOLS
When it comes to building a swimming pool, the materials used are just as important as the design. One of the most critical components of any concrete-based pool is the rebar used to reinforce the concrete. Traditional steel is often used for this purpose, but it has several disadvantages, including the potential for corrosion, rust, and staining of the surrounding concrete, which makes it unsuitable for swimming pools where water is exposed extensively and directly.
Fortunately, there is an alternative that can provide a better long-term solution: Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) Rebar. BFRP Rebar is a composite material that consists of basalt fibers and a polymer resin. It is a superior alternative to traditional steel rebar for several reasons, including its durability, strength, and totally resistant to water and corrosion.
The following is a simplified explanation of why Basalt fiber is the best choice for concrete reinforcement in swimming pools:
First, BFRP Rebar is highly durable, with a lifespan of over 100 years. This means that it is unlikely to deteriorate, crack or rust, which is a major problem with traditional steel rebar. The resistance to corrosion is a significant advantage, especially in swimming pools, where the water is chemically treated with chlorine and other chemicals to keep it clean. The chemicals can cause corrosion in steel rebar, which can lead to structural problems, staining of the surrounding concrete, and even leaks.
Second, BFRP Rebar is incredibly strong. In fact, it has a higher tensile strength than steel rebar, which means it can handle greater loads without breaking or bending. This is especially important in swimming pools, where the weight of the water and the movement of people can put a lot of stress on the pool’s structure.
Third, BFRP Rebar is easy to work with. It can be cut to size and shaped like traditional steel rebar. Additionally, it is lightweight and easy to transport, which makes it ideal for large-scale projects like swimming pools.
Finally, BFRP Rebar is also environmentally friendly. It is made from natural materials and does not contain any harmful chemicals, unlike traditional steel rebar, which requires significant amounts of energy to produce and can have a negative impact on the environment.
These characteristics make Basalt fiber an excellent choice for concrete reinforcement in swimming pools.
This type of basalt fiber is produced by Arab Basalt Fiber Company. The first of its kind in the region, and the second largest in the world in terms of production capacity.
