Benefits of Composite Rebar

2021-03-15

Composite rebar made from epoxy or unsaturated resin and glass fiber or basalt fiber offers several benefits:


1.Purchase Price: Composite rebar is cheaper than steel rebar.


2.Reduced Logistics Costs: Composite reinforcement materials weigh a quarter of steel reinforcement materials while maintaining the same strength, significantly reducing transportation costs.


3.Ease of Use: The same parameters also reduce the cost of loading and unloading operations, eliminating the need for heavy equipment rentals and simplifying facility work time.


4.Minimal Thermal Conductivity: Composite reinforcement materials have thermal conductivity 100 times lower than steel reinforcement, meaning they do not conduct heat. They do not create thermal bridges and reduce facility operating costs, making them ideal for passive house construction.


5.Effective Use: Composite reinforcement materials have a thermal expansion comparable to concrete, eliminating cracks caused by temperature changes and thereby reducing crack repair costs during facility use.


6.Maintenance-Free: Glass fiber reinforced rebar is entirely corrosion-resistant and performs well even in highly corrosive acidic or alkaline environments, eliminating tedious and expensive inspection work.


7.Material Savings: Delivered rebar according to design eliminates waste and overlaps, reducing material and labor costs. Rebar can be provided in straight bars or up to 36 mm in diameter upon customer request.


8.Easy Transport: Lightweight rolls minimize transportation costs and can even be transported in the trunk of an investor's car for semi-detached house construction.


9.Low Risk of Equipment Failure: Removing steel from rebar significantly reduces the acquisition and maintenance costs of concrete drilling and cutting tools.


10.Long Service Life: Modern materials produced using the latest global composite production technology make equipment three times stronger than rebar structures.


The savings from purchasing composite rebar can even reach up to 50% of the costs associated with rebar engineering and other factory work.
