Rebar, short for 'reinforcing bar', is a steel bar or steel wire mesh used as a tension device in reinforced concrete and masonry structures. Bulk orders and partial bundles are available. Standard lengths are 20 feet, but longer ones can be customized. The V-Rod offers amazing features. It's 2.5 times stronger than Grade 60 steel. In most cases, due to its high tensile strength, you can downsize the rebar size, for example, from #5 steel rebar to #4 GFRP. It provides free engineering services to convert your steel project to GFRP. You can reduce concrete coverage by 10% as it doesn't need extra protection like steel. It's 35% faster to install because it weighs much less than steel. Made of fiberglass and resin, its price is stable unlike steel. It offers a 150 - year or longer product life. You can even use seawater in the concrete mix without steel. One truckload of V - Rod is equivalent to 6 trucks of steel, saving on transportation costs. Using V - ROD fiberglass rebar saves costs and increases safety. It has a low life - cycle cost, saves on construction, boosts safety, is a green product, and resists corrosion. It also has thermal insulation, is light, has thermal expansion compatible with concrete, is electrically and magnetically neutral, has superior tensile strength, and simplifies on - site management. V - ROD is the future of reinforcement, trusted and recognized in major construction codes worldwide. Poly rebar, made of a composite of polymer matrix and fiberglass or carbon fiber, is lighter, corrosion - resistant, non - magnetic, and non - conductive, ideal for harsh environments and areas with sensitive equipment.
Using the Poly Bar 46 GPA Non - Structural Rebar is straightforward. First, determine the appropriate size of the rebar according to your construction needs. If you're used to steel rebar, you may be able to downsize with this product due to its high tensile strength. When installing, note that it's much lighter than steel, so it's easier and faster to handle. You can reduce the concrete coverage by 10% compared to steel rebar. For construction in areas with sensitive equipment, this rebar's non - magnetic and non - conductive properties are a big plus. One great thing is that you can use seawater in the concrete mix when using this rebar instead of steel. Regarding maintenance, since it's corrosion - resistant, you don't need to worry about rust like you do with steel. Just make sure to store it in a dry place when not in use. And remember, it comes with free engineering services, so if you have any questions about converting your project from steel to this type of rebar, don't hesitate to ask.
