BASALT FIBER REBAR VS STEEL REBAR FOR CONCRETE INFRASTRUCTURE.

Image
  The most important thing is that BFRP Rebar provides excellent anti cracking effect. With steel rebar, too little concrete cover allows the water to penetrate and react with the metal causing concrete to crack. Occasionally concrete aggregates react with steel causing concrete to collapse. When steel rebar is exposed to water, it rusts and reduces the strength of reinforced concrete. When rusts start building up around the steel rebar, it causes severe internal pressure on the surrounding concrete, leading to cracks in concrete. So, buildings, roads, bridges and tunnels will be crumbling at a much faster rate than they can be repaired. Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebar (BFRP Rebar) is Eco-Friendly. According to AC , the American Composite Manufacturing Association has demonstrated that the production of BFRP Rebar has less than 74% of the carbon footprint of steel, and basalt has the lowest environmental impact in a Life-Cycle Assessment compared with other types of fiber reba

ZERO MAINTENANCE FOR 100 YEARS -Arab Basalt Fiber Company

  BFRP Rebar does not corrode or rust over time, it lasts much longer than steel. It is 100% non-corrosive, totally resistant to both alkaline and water ORDER NOW Concrete buildings based on steel require periodic maintenance and high annual cost s for repairs, but BFRP is a different story. BFRP Rebar does not behave in the same manner as steel rebar because the mechanical properties are different. Because BFRP Rebar does not corrode or rust over time, it lasts much longer than steel. It is 100% non-corrosive, totally resistant to both alkaline and water In reality, Structure built with BFRP Rebar does not require major maintenance for the next 100 years.  The flexibility, durability, cost-effectiveness, and resistance to corrosion are just a few reasons why BFRP Rebar is the ideal material for concrete-based constructions as opposed to steel. The fact is, this exceptional material is all set to dominate the rebar market in future. We will be happy to provide seminars, presentations a

Cost-effectiveness Analysis -Arab Basalt Fiber Company

  Is Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebar providing good value for the money? ORDER NOW The following points will demonstrate how BFRP Rebar can decrease the cost and deliver good value for the investment: 1- BFRP Rebar has stable pricing, no buy-ups required to secure best pricing compared to steel, which fluctuates. 2- BFRP Rebar has a life span of more than 100 years, while Steel has an average life span of 35 Years. 3- Concrete infrastructures with steel reinforcement require billions of dollars in maintenance and repair each year, unlike infrastructures with BFRP Rebar reinforcement. 4- BFRP Rebar has significantly lower cost than carbon fiber (10 – 15X lower). 5- Basalt fiber is much more cost-effective to process and maintain than E-glass fiber. 6- Basalt Fiber is an insulator that helps reduce the heat loss. This keeps the building warm in winter and cool in summer and lead to more cost-effectiveness. 7- It’s sustainable, made from over 90% of all volcanic rock found on eart

ABOUT ARAB BASALT FIBER COMPANY

Image
  Arab Basalt Fiber Company is the first facility of its kind in the Arab world. ORDER NOW We produce basalt fiber-reinforced composite polymer reinforcing bars that are widely recognized around the world as (BFRP Rebar). This rebar is reinforcing material produced naturally from lava rocks such as basalt, gabbro and diorite, where rocks are melted at high temperatures to produce basalt fiber. Through the pultrusion process, the fibers are folded, rolled, and treated with polymer to produce environmentally friendly reinforcing bars. Our products are widely used for structural applications in private and public projects. the BFRP rebar we produce in our facility is made from premium quality high tensile strength basalt fiber that are heat treated to produce superior quality rebars. The basalt fiber rebars we offer can be cut to any length needed as per your project requirements, and they are available in diameters ranging from 4mm to 32mm. The Arab Basalt Fiber Company is located in th

REAL EXAMPLES OF BFRP REBAR-BASED CONSTRUCTIONS

Image
  Basalt fiber is a recent addition to the construction and mining markets, although it has been used in some capacities in construction throughout the world. ORDER NOW In this video we will discuss three examples of BFRP Rebar-based constructions from around the world. Firstly, Burj Khalifa finishing panels The strength of the interior panels of this magnificent tower, named after the former President of the UAE Sheikh Khalifa Ibn Zayed Al Nahyan, was provided by basalt fiber. Burj Khalifa or Khalifa Tower, is a super-high skyscraper with a height of 828 meters in Dubai (UAE). It is the tallest and most multistory building, the tallest structure, the only 828-meter and 163-storey skyscraper in the world. As part of the construction of this magnificent tower, high-quality basalt Fiber was used to reinforce the interior cladding panels for the interior of this building. Secondly, a Modern Residential Complex of comfort-class in the Republic of Kazakhstan. To reinforce floors in living s
