Basalt Rebar Rods made of a unidirectional composite of basalt fibers offer significant advantages over steel rebar in a variety of applications. Product Details Higher specific strength than steel rebar 89% lighter in weight: one ton of basalt reinforcement rods provides the reinforcement of 9.6 tons of steel rebar Resistant to corrosion and deterioration of natural elements Resistant to alkali and acid Same coefficient of thermal expansion as concrete No permanent deformation when bent Chemically inert, basalt rods are compatible with concretes having different Ph values When used to reinforce concrete, basalt reinforcement rods are an advanced alternative to steel rebar. Ideal for: Hydraulic engineering Highway reinforcement Concrete building and facing slabs Concrete barriers Highlighting poles Other structural components and applications. Basalt reinforcement rods are also an alternative building and construction solution in regions prone to earthquake and seismic hazards.
