BENEFITS OF
GFRP REBARS
Key Advantages of GFRP Rebars
Advanced composite technology delivering superior performance in construction, marine, and infrastructure projects. Discover why GFRP rebars are the preferred TMT steel alternative for modern construction in India.
High Tensile Strength
600-1200 MPa tensile strength delivers exceptional load capacity while keeping structures lightweight.
Low Density
~1600-1900 kg/m³ density simplifies handling and lowers transportation costs compared to steel.
Reduced Risk of Thermal Cracking
Thermal expansion closer to concrete minimizes stress and cracking caused by temperature fluctuations.
Ease of Installation
Lightweight bars allow faster placement with smaller crews and less heavy machinery.
Thermal Insulation
Low thermal conductivity preserves interior comfort and protects temperature-sensitive assets.
Corrosion Resistant
100% corrosion-free performance even in harsh environments, eliminating rust-related failures.
No Coating Required
Removes the need for protective coatings, saving time, materials, and labor costs.
Non-Magnetic & Non-Conductive
Non-magnetic, electrically neutral bars ensure compatibility with sensitive equipment.
No Maintenance Required
Long service life without inspections or repairs keeps lifecycle costs to a minimum.
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Provides superior load-bearing strength while remaining light enough for efficient design.
Highly Durable
Resists chemicals, moisture, and harsh environments where steel would deteriorate.
Long Service Life
75+ year lifespan keeps infrastructure performing reliably for decades.
