Applications of GFRP Rebars in Construction
Introduction:
GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) rebars are revolutionizing the construction industry with their exceptional properties and versatile applications. Unlike traditional steel reinforcement, GFRP rebars offer numerous advantages, making them ideal for various construction projects.
1. Industrial buildings, flooring, and RCC slabs.
SMINbar™ Is non-conductive and resistant to ultra-aggressive chemical environments. It is thanks to these unique properties that SMIN bar™ is ideal for
- Industrial roads and passages
- Heavily and lightly loaded floors of production sites
- Buildings with high electric fields
- Chemical industries, including concrete tanks with aggressive media
- Industrial concrete structures with increased vibration, electrical, and chemical resistance requirements

2. Canals and Port Infrastructure
As it is corrosion-resistant to fresh and seawater, SMINbar™ is ideal for
- Installation in coastal and irrigation applications
- Harbors and channels
- Dams
- Water transmitting and irrigation systems
- Ports water infrastructure
