GFRP Rebar

Armastek is a dynamic company specializing in the distribution of reinforcements made of composite materials. Armastek offers an innovative reinforcement system, that can be utilized in many applications within the construction industry.

There is enormous potential for composite materials, especially in the construction industry. No other material is so versatile, meets sustainability requirements and has clear economic advantages for clients.

As constructional material, steel has been a huge success story ever since the industrial revolution. However, steel also has its disadvantages, such as its low resistance to corrosion and the resulting limited lifetime, which has lead engineers to look for alternative solutions. Fiber composites are a good alternative which have been successfully used since the 1980's in various industries (e.g. automotive, aircraft ships and construction). One of the most prominent among composites is glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP).

With its desirable physical properties and major advantages over steel, GFRP is destined to be used in many applications in modern construction industry and remedy a magnitude of previously unsolvable problems. One of its most interesting applications is its use as concrete reinforcement. After extensive development and certified testing Armastek introduces armastek BAR® a glass fiber reinforced plastic rebar that not only meets the requirements for sustainability and durability, but also for the first time, COST efficiency.
