· High corrosion resistance : Special high quality vinyl ester resin protects against chloride attack.
· All-Thread rebar surface : Ensure bonding strength with concrete.
· High tensile strength : reduced volume of reinforcement in RC structures
· Low weight: approx. ¼ of the steel weight can reduce total construction weight.
· Anti-magnetic : for use in faraday cages (MNR rooms in hospitals)
· High thermal isolation: slow heating up of deeper zones in solid members
· No electrical conductivity – optionally anti-static-conditioning
· range of various shapes
Since a few thousand years steel is the most popular metal for human life and it is no exaggeration that without steel human life can not maintain. But as it is realized, that steel is not always perfect and because of serious damage of RC structures we have faced collapse of such structure. Steel corrosion is a rather natural reaction and not easy to avoid. Low corrosion rebars such as galvanized , epoxy coated or stainless steel rebars Mayba an alternative. But under high-chloride environments those materials are still not perfect and also very costly.
The annual cost of repair and maintenance of the European infrastructure, as a results of problems associated with corrosion, is around 30 Billion EURO and the repair costs can be twice as high as the original ones. corrosion in steel rebars leads directly to damage of the concrete itself, significantly reducing the quality of life in the built environment.

And furthermore, we must remember that steel corrosion can be cause of increase of CO2 Emission and will influence on the natural environment.
FiReP® -Rebar can offer environment friendly solution and propose significant repair and maintenance cost reduction.
