Composite rebar, glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement bar is the solution to corrosion of reinforced concrete structure. Fiberglass Rebar is an excellent replacement for conventional types of steel rebar & here is why? 

Limitation with Steel rebar: 

• Heavy (Increase logistic cost as well as adding more weight to the structure which affects the natural frequency of concrete structure)  

• Corrosive (Even Stainless-Steel rust while it is 2 to 4 times more expensive than GFRP)

• Very high stiffness (Structure becomes very stiff & rigid) 

• Very limited fatigue resistance (Cyclic loading) 

• High thermal & electrical conductivity 

• Very high maintenance fee for Black-steel, Galvanized & Epoxy-coated rebar

• more?!!!

MST-BAR® & MFX-BAR® GFRP rebar, composite rebar, fiberglass rebar is very suitable to use in the applications where steel rebar is limited to its properties. Where corrosion is a problem such as in a humid, coastal & cold countries ,MST-BAR® & MFX-BAR® can be used to take away the corrosion problem and all the costs associated with corrosion and maintenance. 

The initial cost of using MST-BAR® & MFX-BAR® at early stage of the project may not increase the cost of the project if a proper design and factors are to be considered. Using GFRP rebar may reduce the cost of the project up to 5% & the structure does not rquire any major maintenance for next 100 years.
