GFRP rebar LIGHTplus® is conventional alternate and substitute to steel bar

Conventional GFRP rebar! LIGHTplus is designed for low loads!

TM LIGHTplus GFRP rebar is a conventional type of GFRP rebar based on glass fiber with 83% adhesion to concrete. It is widely applied at low loads and is the very first type of reinforced polymer rebar in the world!

Does not rust

Cheaper than steel

Increases building life by 3 times

Over 120 000 000 m of LIGHTplus GFRP rebar have been applied while construction

TM LIGHTplus GFRP rebar is a non-metallic reinforced polymer bar based on glass fibers, which are impregnated with thermos hardening and thermoplastic polymer binder and are cured. While its manufacture our GFRP rebar is designed with a special rib. These type of GFRP rebar has 83% adhesion to concrete.

Proven convention and trusted heritage is LIGHTplus GFRP rebar!

GFRP rebar delivery

In order to deliver 2 km of steel bars you will need special-purpose equipment, and in order to conduct loading and unloading you will need pretty much time and workers. More over, the cost of all these operations will be quite price.

In order to deliver 2 km of LIGHTplus GFRP rebar you will just need a car. Due to the fact that GFRP rebar can be delivered in coils/rolls and its weight is about 10 times lower than of steel bars, loading and unloading operations will take just about 15 minutes and 1 worker.

Difference of GFRP rebar LIGHTplus from composite rebar HARDplus:

GFRP rebar with sand coating HARDplus

GFRP rebar LIGHTplus

Since conventional composite rebar is slidable and has 83% adhesion to concrete, its application is limited and suitable for constructions with low loads only. Composite rebar with sand coating HARDplus has no such disadvantages, which makes it twice more reliable!
