WHAT IS GLASS FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER (GFRP)?

It is a material composed of fiberglass and resin. The union of these two compounds results in a durable and very resistant product. It comes in various formats such as bars, rods, meshes or tubes or beams or other customized shapes. Reinforced plastic is lightweight, durable, strong and resistant. And does not conduct heat or electricity, which is why it is used in various types of industry.

 

WHAT IS GFRP?

GFRP stands for Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer, (polímero reforzado con fibra de vidrio in Spanish). The terminology used to refer to polymer or plastic corrugated rods that have been reinforced with glass fibre. It represents an efficient and durable alternative to steel material. Its most notable properties are non-corrosion, tensile strength and low weight.

 

WHAT IS GFRP REBAR TECHNOLOGY?

We are experienced manufacturer and exporter of GFRP structural reinforcements. We have a wide catalogue of reinforced polymer products such as bars, rods, tubes and reinforcement meshes.

 

WHAT DOES GFRP MEAN?

This stands for Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer or Fibreglass Reinforced Polymer. It is the terminology used to refer to products derived from GFRP, also known as FRP and GRP.

 

WHY USE GFRP INSTEAD OF STEEL FOR REINFORCED CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT?

GFRP has superior properties to steel in a number of respects. Firstly GRP never rusts. In addition, GFRP or GRP structures have far superior tensile properties, much better corrosion resistance and inherent electromagnetic neutrality. On the other hand, the rods or GRP reinforcing bars are a more economical, durable and sustainable solution.. As it has no metals in its composition it does not conduct electricity, making it an ideal choice for constructions or structures working with medium and high voltage lines.

 

CAN GFRP BE WELDED?

In contrast to steel, GFRP cannot be welded, but efficient alternatives do exist. There is currently a lot of ongoing research on the bonding of composite materials by GFRP. GRP materials can be resin-bonded, riveted or bolted together.

 

IS IT POSSIBLE TO CUT GFRP?

Sections or cuts can be made in bars, rods, mesh or any material made of glass fibre reinforced polymer. Low speeds are recommended for optimum results and clean cuts.

 

WHAT CAN BE BUILT WITH GFRP?

All types of structures can be realised, from buildings, bridges, railway structures, dams, water channelling... The application of GFRP reinforcements covers all types of sectors, such as industrial, sanitary, agricultural...

 

WHAT IS PULTRUSION?

Pultrusion is aproduction process based on the corrugation of polymeric materials or plastic materials. The result is reinforced plastic profiles, known as pultruded or pultruded profiles. In addition, thermoplastic pultrusion allows the profiles to be reinforced with other polymer resins, improving their flame-retardant properties or their strength.
