Composite Fiberglass Reinforcement from Arma Group Inc.

Effectiveness

Fiberglass rebar made by Arma Group stands out as a superior construction material compared to its steel counterpart, offering a range of advantages. Its remarkable strength enables the use of smaller cross-sections, while heightened elasticity facilitates easy coiling for cost-effective transportation. Employing rebar as a flexible binding element is highly practical to prevent the formation of cold air bridges. Its optimal performance, even in challenging conditions such as high humidity or exposure to aggressive environments, underscores its resistance to corrosion, resulting in a significantly extended service life without the need for costly repairs.

With an impressive temperature tolerance spanning from -70 to +200 degrees, composite GFRP rebar proves versatile for application in diverse geographical conditions throughout the year, independent of specific technological processes. The synergy of these factors associated with the use of fiberglass reinforcement streamlines construction processes, offering notable time and cost savings.

Absense of Corrosion

The primary challenge associated with the use of steel construction rebar lies in the corrosion of its concrete-steel structure, leading to significant damage in construction projects due to environmental chemical reactions. GFRP rebar made by Arma Group emerges as an effective solution to combat such issues. The fiberglass frame of this structure remains impervious to water, salt, acids, chemicals, alkaline mediums, and various other disruptive agents.

Internationally, road construction companies have long recognized the exceptional properties of composite fiberglass reinforcement, diminishing the need for costly corrosion remediation. Moreover, fiberglass reinforcement exhibits resistance to electromagnetic corrosion, making it a preferred choice for reinforcing the walls of power stations, railway structures in railway stations, and subway systems.

Scientifically validated, it has been established that the electromagnetic fields generated by steel reinforcement can impact instrument readings or interfere with the operation of magnetic resonance imaging equipment. Consequently, in the construction of research and medical centers, the preference leans toward fiberglass rebar to mitigate such electromagnetic interference.

Reliability

Arma Group employs only top-tier materials in the production of composite rebar, utilizing high-quality glass roving with a polymer binder based on epoxy resin. The thermoactive and thermoplastic resin, composed of polymer and elastomeric materials, serves as a protective barrier against external elements and chemical exposure. Simultaneously, the inclusion of glass fiber significantly enhances the reinforcement’s strength and tensile properties.

The durability of composite fiberglass reinforcement outperforms steel by 2-3 times, making it a superior choice for various applications. Notably, construction and repair companies choose fiberglass rebar to extend the lifespan of industrial structures, elements of transport infrastructure, swimming pools, fountains, marine structures and other constructions. Thanks to a well-developed technological process, fiberglass rebar can be seamlessly integrated into diverse projects, offering a reliable and long-lasting solution.

Savings

Utilizing fiberglass reinforcing rebar offers substantial savings across various aspects of construction. The lightweight nature of fiberglass rebar contributes to reduced transportation costs, making it more economical to transport compared to traditional steel alternatives. Additionally, its lighter weight translates to lower labor costs during installation, as handling and maneuvering the rebar becomes more efficient and less labor-intensive. The ease of cutting fiberglass rebar further streamlines the construction process, minimizing both time and expenses. Moreover, the lightweight characteristics of fiberglass rebar simplify the installation of the rebar framework, providing a cost-effective solution that doesn’t compromise on strength and durability.
