Description
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
Diameter | Bond to Concrete | Ultimate Tensile Strength | Thermal Conductivity | Density | Equiv. Steel Rebar |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
8 mm | 83% | 800–1300 MPa | 0.35 W/(m·°C) | ~1900 kg/m³ | ~12 mm Steel |
Note: GFRP rebar typically offers 2–2.5 times the break strength of steel, making a smaller diameter feasible for comparable or lighter loads.
