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)
