MACt Glass Fibre Rebar 8mm

MACt Rebar 8mm –  is a conventional GFRP (Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer) reinforcing bar specifically designed for lower-load applications in GFRC/ GRC (Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete)  structures. Made from glass fibres impregnated with a high-quality polymer binder, this rebar offers 83% adhesion to concrete—delivering essential reinforcement while remaining cost-effective, lightweight, and non-corrosive. MACt Rebar 8mm is widely trusted for reliable performance in a variety of construction and composite applications.

Key Features & Benefits

1. High Adhesion & Durability
   • 83% Bond Strength: Ensures dependable reinforcement in GFRC/GRC elements subject to lower loads.
   • No Rust Concerns: Polymer design is immune to corrosion, extending service life in marine or corrosive environments.
2. Cost-Effective & Light
   • Cheaper Than Steel: Offers upfront savings on material costs without sacrificing reinforcement capacity.
   • Nine Times Lighter: Ideal for efficient transport, simplified handling, and faster installation—particularly beneficial on job sites with limited manpower or equipment.
3. Extended Lifespan
   • High-Performance Polymer: Resists chemical, alkali, and moisture-induced damage, helping structures last up to three times longer than with steel.
   • Minimal Maintenance: Non-corrosive nature reduces the risk of rebar-related cracks or spalling.
4. Enhanced GFRC/GRC Applications
   • Optimised for Light Reinforcement: Perfect for architectural GRC cladding panels, GFRC countertops, and decorative elements that experience moderate stress.
   • Non-Conductive & Non-Magnetic: Suitable for installations where electromagnetic neutrality or radio-wave transparency is crucial (e.g., hospitals, labs, and specialized facilities)

Typical Applications

• GFRC/GRC Structural Panels
  • Ideal for façades, cladding, formwork, or decorative features requiring light yet reliable reinforcement.
• Foundations & Floor Slabs
  • Places with moderate loading conditions where rust-free, budget-friendly solutions are desired.
• Marine & Coastal Constructions
  • Lightweight, corrosion-resistant reinforcement—especially useful for sea walls, piers, or port structures.
• Tunnels & Bridges
  • Secondary or non-critical reinforcement in infrastructure builds where cost savings and extended service life are priorities.

Technical Snapshot

Note: GFRP rebar typically offers 2–2.5 times the break strength of steel, making a smaller diameter feasible for comparable or lighter loads.
