China New Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebar for Concrete Reinforcement

What is Basalt Fiber?
The raw materials of basalt are selected, crushed, put into a smelting furnace at a high temperature of 1450ºC-1600ºC, then draw into the continuous fiber through a high-speed drawing machine with a 200-600 hol platinum-rhodium alloy bushing.

What is BFRP(Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer)?
BFRP(Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer) is composed of basalt fiber, synthetic resin, extender, curing agent, etc,; shaped by extrusion molding and cured at a high gradient temperature of 260ºC and above.

Where the Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer use for?
BFRP is widely used in subway tunnels, bridge piers, coal mines, roadway foundation pits, slope protection, special engineering and other fields..

Why not use Fiberglass / Plastic / metal Bar?

What is the advantage of Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer?
Prolong structure life span, reduce maintenance cost.
Light weight (2.0g/CM3)
High corrosion resistance (Include Acid, Alkali and Salt)
High Tensile strength ≥900Mpa
Easy to cut.
Compared with traditional rebar, it has many advantages, such as high tensile strength, high corrosion resistance, light-weight and easy cutting. All the merits of BFRP significantly improve the lifespan of the structure and reduce the maintenance costs in the long-run.
