It is a pultruded composite rod made of epoxy coated filament with a unidirectional structure.
They are designed to reinforce concrete, wood, masonry structures and are often used with Near Surface.
The Mounted Technique (NSM) bar will be inserted. The groove is cut into the surface and fixed with epoxy resin.
Can be used as an original reinforcement.
Recessed installation
Strength increase
Deformation & sag decrease
Steel reinforcement stress reduction
Crack and moisture control
Use of combined reinforcement with different types of composite reinforcement: high elasticity modulus of Cemkrete CF-ROD, can be used as prestressed reinforcement bars
Development of systems of standard concrete products reinforced with composite rebars new approaches to crack resistance.
Reduction of costs for protective layers of concrete products.
Total corrosion resistance - non-reactive to all corrosive environments
Good resistance against chemicals and moisture
High strength - less reinforcement bars, smaller diameters
Long lifetime - expected life of 75 years
Low weight -reduction of transportation costs and weight of structures
