REBAR X Offers Superior Corrosion Resistance
REBAR X will not rust or degrade when exposed to moisture, deicing salts, and chemicals. It is ideal for harsh environments like marine structures, tunnels, and bridge decks, extending service life while eliminating concrete spalling caused by rusting steel.
Key Corrosion Resistance Details
Non-Corrosive Nature
REBAR X is immune to the electrochemical corrosion process that affects traditional steel rebar.
Preventing Concrete Damage
Unlike steel, which expands up to 4-7 times its original volume when rusting (causing concrete cracking), GFRP does not create expansive products.
Long-Term Durability
Under favorable conditions, GFRP can provide an 80–100 year service life.
Performance in Aggressive Environments
While immune to rust, high alkaline, acidic, or high-temperature environments can potentially impact long-term strength, requiring careful design and consideration of safety factors.
