Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) is a composite material comprising of glass fibers embedded within a polymer matrix, resulting in a durable, lightweight, and adaptable construction material. It is rapidly evolving as an alternative to steel while adhering to various guidelines. Widely adopted in industrialized nations for over three (3) decades, GFRP offers significant advancements in construction technology.
Immune to salt ions, chemi- cals, and alkaline (perfect reinforcement for coastal areas)
Unlike steel rebar, GFRP limits cracks in cement structures & prevents eventual unwanted breaking
Easier handling & transport result to lower labor & logistical costs
Easier handling & transport result to lower labor & logistical costs
43% less emission to manufacture
versus steel; Has long usage and can be re- cycled
