GFRP-REBAR Brand
- What is GFRP-REBAR?
-
Innovative concrete reinforcement of GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) material.
Plastic-based composite material made of glass fiber, which is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and high strength an excellent material.
- OUR GFRP-REBAR BRAND "ECO BAR"
- ECO BAR is an eco product that cares about the environment because of its remarkably low carbon emission compared to rebar, and has advantages such as high strength, low weight, corrosion resistance, extension of life of structure, quality and improvement in productivity compared to rebar. It is a new material product that has been actively used in civil engineering, architecture, bridges, tunnels, roads, railways, wind and marine structural construction in developed countries since the 2000s.

| Technology | Features |
|---|---|
| Low Price | - 70% to 80% cost reduction of rebar price - Rebar price fluctuations and increases are possible(Issues such as rising iron ore prices and decreasing production due to carbon emission regulations) |
|
Corrosion Resistance (Excellent corrosion resistance and chemical resistance) |
- No rust and corrosion, so it can be used for a long time. - Excellent for bridge flooring roads where snow removal agents (chloride) are used in winter. - Strong against structures exposed to corrosion environment, such as structures in marine environment. |
| Strong Tensile Strength | - Tension strength greater than 2.5 to 3 times stronger than rebar. |
| Low Weight | - It is one-quarter lighter than rebar, which increases construction performance and worker stability. |
| Resistant to Vibration | - Rebar transmits vibrations and are vulnerable to earthquakes. ECO BAR is strong against earthquakes due to shock absorption and has a great effect on noise reduction between floors. |
| Reduction in Construction Costs |
- Reduce transportation and logistics costs by reducing product weight. - Reduce labor costs by shortening construction period. |
| Extension of life of Structure | - The use of ECOBAR for reinforced concrete structures that are vulnerable to corrosion is semi-permanent in life and reduces maintenance and reinforcement costs. |
| Electrical Insulation(nonconductors without thermal conductivity) | - Rebar is stretched and expanded as a heat conductors, causing cracks in structures.ECO Bar is insulating and does not conduct heat, so it is safe in the event of a fire in a building. |
