Pas-Gon Fiberglass Rebars
Pas-Gon Fiberglass Reinforced Rebars are made by the Pultrusion process in which strands of glass fibers (roving) are pulled through a basin with thermo setting Resin (mostly Vinyl ester), thus forming a bar with unique qualities and advantages. The finished product is very strong, totally inert, non-corrosive and alkali-resistant. Pas-Gon Rebars are available in diameters of 5 to 25 mm. and are becoming an alternative to stainless steel, galvanized steel or epoxy coated Rebars. The main use and applications of these Rebars are in concrete reinforcement, in harsh, corrosive environments and where Radar and RF transparency is needed.
Features and Advantages
- Non-corrosive: will not corrode when exposed to a wide variety of aggressive elements and environments.
- Resistant to chemicals.
- Impervious to chloride ions.
- Tensile strength greater than steel but only 1/4th of the weight of steel.
- Can easily be transported and installed without the need for heavy lifting equipment.
- Transparent to magnetic fields and radio frequencies.
- Non-conductive: neither electrically or thermally conductive.
- Good impact resistance: resists sudden and severe point loading.
- Excellent fatigue resistance: performs very well in cyclic loading situations.
- Dimensionally stable under thermal loading
- Reduced expansion / shrinkagein concrete subjected to temperature variation.
- Significantly improve the longevity of civil engineering structures.
- No need for repair or maintenance.
- Easil to handle and fabricate
Market Applications
Considering their features & benefits, our Fiberglass Rebars are a highly cost-effective building material (when analyzed on cost-per-performance over time), especially for concrete reinforcement in corrosive environments.
1. Reinforced Concrete Exposed to Deicing Salts:
Parking structures; bridge decks; Jersey barrier; curbs; retaining walls and foundations; roads and slabs on grade.
2. Structures Built in or Close to Sea water:
Quays; retaining wall; piers;jetties; caissons; decks; piles; bulkheads; floating structures; canals;roads and buildings; offshore platforms; swimming pools and aquariums.
3. Applications Subjected to Other Corrosive Agents:
Wastewater treatment plants; petrochemical plants; pulp/paper mills;liquid gas plants; pipelines / tanks for fossil fuel; Cooling Towers;chimneys; mining operations of various types; nuclear powerand dump plants.
4. Applications Requiring Low Electric Conductivity or Electromagnetic Neutrality:
Aluminum and copper smelting plants; manholes for electrical and telephone communication equipment; bases for transmission / Telecommunication towers; Airport control towers;magnetic resonance imaging in hospitals; railroad crossing sites,and specialized military structures.
5. Tunneling / Boring Applications Requiring Reinforcement of Temporary Concrete Structures:
Structures including mining walls; underground rapidtransit structures and underground vertical shafts.
6. Weight Sensitive Structures:
Concrete construction in areas of poor loadbearing soil conditions, remote geographical locations, sensitive environmentalareas, or active seismic sites posing special issues that the use of lightweight reinforcement will solve.
7. Thermally Sensitive Applications:
Apartment patio decks; thermally insulated concrete housing and basements; thermally heated floors and conditioning rooms.
