WHY COMPOSITE REINFORCEMENT?
1. Up to 50% cheaper than an equal in strength steel analog, economy is reached due to reduction of expenses not only for
material, but also expenses for delivery, assembly, and handling operations;
2. Lighter then steel by 3.5-4 times with an equal diameter and by 8-10 times with an equal in strength diameter;
3. Stronger than steel rebar in terms of tensile strength by 3 times;
4. Does not corrode. It is resistant to corrosion, alkalis, acids, which guarantees lack of cracks and destruction of concrete
structures owing to the internal tension arising at corrosion of steel reinforcement.
5. It is durable. The term of operation is not less than 80 years.
6. The best indicators of thermal insulation and energy efficiency. Heat conductivity of composite reinforcement is equal to
0.46 W/sq.m, and of metal one - 40-60 W/sq.m, i.e. 100 times higher - composite reinforcement unlike metal one do not
create cold bridges and, as a result, increases energy efficiency of construction;
7. It is waste-free since it is delivered in coils of 50/100 running meters and it is cut into necessary size, it allows to save up
to 5% of the total amount of reinforcement on overlaps.
8. More simply and more economically in transportation, reinforcement with diameter up to 10 millimeters is delivered
twisted in coils weighing about 8-10 kilograms. In such form reinforcements are transported in a luggage boot of a
passenger car or by a light commercial vehicle.
9. More simply at installation and cutting. Workers with the minimum use of materials and tools can make knitting of
reinforcement. Composite reinforcement is possible to cut with cutoff tool, and small diameters are cut by scissors or
nippers.
10. Does not create electromagnetic interference. It is radiotransparent and a nonconductor of electricity.
11. Its thermal-expansion coefficient is similar to that of concrete, therefore composite rebar does not destroy concrete,
unlike metal rebar, which gradually distorts concrete at temperature increase due to the difference of thermal expansion
coefficients.
12. It is eco-friendly. At production of composite reinforcement a carbon dioxide is emitted by 40 times less, than at
production of metal.
13. Does not lose durability under low temperature impact. Range of operational temperatures is from -70 °C to +100 °C.
14. It is steady against seismological activity of the earth. Fiber reinforcement do not lose its main technical characteristics
even at the earthquake, so it is the best choice for reinforcing of concrete pavements.
15. Increases bearing capacity of a bricklaying. The last tests proved that the composite masonry mesh increases bearing
capacity of a bricklaying.
