Tampa Steel & Supply releases its latest product, FRP Rebar, a fiberglass rebar alternative designed to offer unmatched strength, durability and resilience against harsh elements. The glass fiber-reinforced polymer is engineered to provide superior performance for a diverse range of projects such as bridges, seawalls, piers, dams, power plants, low- to mid-rise buildings and flatwork in corrosive climates.
FRP Rebar offers two times the tensile strength of steel, guaranteeing reliable structural integrity. Made from enduring, high-quality materials, FRP Rebar’s lifespan significantly exceeds traditional steel rebar, making it a cost-effective solution in the long run. It also remains impervious to water, salt and chemicals, thus avoiding corrosion or oxidation. Thanks to its durability and longevity, FRP Rebar reduces the costs associated with repairs and rehabilitation. And despite its superior strength, it weighs just a quarter of steel rebar, making it easier to transport and install.
