“MST-BAR is a GFRP or Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebar. GFRP Rebar has proven to be a superior alternative to traditional steel rebar. It is stronger, lighter, rust resistant and non-conductive.”
MST-BAR is GFRP Rebar that is an Integrally Ribbed Maximum Strength Rebar that bonds to concrete better than steel.
Detailed breakdown of advantages of MST-BAR over steel (comparison table - see sft-bar)
Up to 7x lighter than steel rebar,
3x stronger than steel rebar
does not conduct heat, cold or electricity,
substantially reduces workplace injuries
takes half the time to install with half the amount of people
requires no maintenance or repairs
lasts longer than the concrete it is reinforcing.
Governments are specifying it and the world is starting to realize MST-BAR is the solution.
