Fiberglass rebar FIBERNOX® V-ROD

FIBERNOX® V-ROD is a reinforcement bar made of environmentally sustainable fiber reinforced material. The glass-fibre reinforcement is characterized by rust- and alkali resistance, freedom from magnets and electrically and thermally insulating properties. In addition, it has high tensile strength at low weight and a high adhesion in concrete. FIBERNOX® V-ROD is an effective alternative to stainless or galvanically treated reinforcing steel. Advantages • Long-term corrosion- and alkali-resistant • Results in structures exposed to unfavourable environmental conditions having a significantly longer life compared to reinforced-concrete structures • High tensile strength combined with a low weight • Conductive to magnetic fields and radio frequencies • Dimensionally stable and very good concrete bond • Easly cuttable for tunnel boring machines (TBM) Technical Details • Fibre-reinforced plastic consisting of fibreglass strands with a resin core • E-Modulus > 60 GPa, guaranteed tensile strength > 1.000 MPa • Specially sanded surface for a stronger bond • Available in the form of straight or bent rods • Certified by CAN CSA S807-10 in Canada • DIBt approval applied for
