What is GFRP?
GFRP stands for Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer and is available in different bar shapes and sizes for reinforcing concrete structures. To be clear–GFRP is not a plastic! GFRP reinforcement bars are made by weaving high-quality glass fibres into a fabric before being impregnated with polymers and formed into a round bar.

What are other benefits of GFRP compared to steel?
Non-corrosive, non-conductive
GFRP composition means it’s the perfect reinforcement solution for environments exposed to water, salt, humidity, high voltage currents and magnetic fields. One bar – all applications.
2x stronger than steel
A unique threaded surface creates a super strong bond with concrete. No heating up of rebar and loss of strength. 2x the tensile strength of steel and 20x the fatigue resistance. And no ongoing maintenance means time and money saved over it’s long lifespan.
75% lighter than steel
A lightweight GFRP composition means it’s easy to handle and transport, but extremely durable in any environment – guaranteed to last.
Lower carbon footprint & longer lasting than steel
It has been proven by research that the carbon footprint of GFRP reinforcement is less than steel. The estimator above now gives an indicative CO₂ comparison based on the slab size, steel mesh type, steel weight and GFRP replacement quantity.
Prices of GFRP are less likely to increase compared to steel
Our glass fibre MST BAR® has a much lesser likelihood of price increases as compared to steel rebar which keeps costs low.
