What is PROBAR fiberglass rebar?

PROBAR Fiberglass rebar is a type of composite reinforcement that is made from a combination of fiberglass roving and resin. Fiberglass roving is a bundle of continuous glass fibers that are twisted together to form a rod. Resin is a polymer material that binds the fibers together and provides corrosion resistance, durability and strength. The production process of fiberglass rebar involves pulling the fiberglass roving through a resin bath, wrapping it with a spiral winding machine, curing it in an oven, and cutting it to the desired length.

Why choose PROBAR fiberglass rebar?

PROBAR Fiberglass Rebar is the ideal concrete reinforcement for various applications, from parking lots and driveways to sidewalks and pool decks. It is lighter and easier to cut than steel rebar, which means faster installation, lower labor costs, and higher productivity.

Where should I use PROBAR fiberglass rebar?

Fiberglass rebar is a suitable replacement for any place steel rebar or mesh is used. It excels in applications that need high strength and are exposed to harsh environmental conditions.

How strong is the fiberglass rebar?

Fiberglass rebar is often twice as strong as steel in terms of tensile strength. However, it has a lower modulus of elasticity.

How to install fiberglass rebar?

Fiberglass rebar can be field cut using a fine blade saw, grinder, and carborundum or diamond blade. Sealing the ends of fiberglass bars is not necessary. Chairs should be placed at a spacing that ensures adequate concrete cover. The same tying methods as for steel rebar can be used. Tie wire material is based on contractor preference.
