Product Description
Our premium 10mm FRP rebar is specifically engineered for concrete reinforcement in corrosive environments. Manufactured using high-tensile glass fibers embedded in advanced polymer resins, this 10mm diameter GFRP rebar offers strong performance where traditional steel reinforcement would fail. Each 10mm composite rebar is designed to provide high corrosion resistance in marine constructions, chemical plants, and salt-exposed infrastructure while maintaining structural integrity throughout the entire service life of your concrete project. The sand-coated surface ensures optimal bonding with concrete, creating a durable composite structure that stands the test of time. Our 10mm fiberglass reinforcement bars are the reliable alternative to steel for modern concrete structures facing challenging environmental conditions.
Our 10mm FRP rebar is a glass fiber reinforced polymer bar for concrete reinforcement. Related FRP solutions: pultruded FRP profiles, FRP rebar, pultrusion machines, and pultrusion dies.

Construction Efficiency Advantages
- Labor Savings: Installation time can be reduced because the bars are much lighter than steel of equal diameter
- Transportation Efficiency: More reinforcement per truck load than steel of equal diameter
- No Heavy Equipment: Can be handled manually without cranes or heavy machinery
- Simplified Cutting: Cut on-site with standard diamond blade cutting tools
- Reduced Concrete Cover: Can use thinner concrete cover in non-structural applications

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes 10mm FRP rebar an alternative to epoxy-coated steel rebar?
Unlike epoxy-coated steel rebar which can still corrode if the coating is damaged during installation, our 10mm FRP rebar is inherently corrosion-resistant throughout its entire cross-section. This reduces the risk of hidden corrosion that often occurs with coated steel products.
How does 10mm GFRP rebar perform in freeze-thaw conditions?
Our 10mm glass fiber reinforced polymer rebar maintains its structural properties even through extreme temperature cycles. Because FRP has a thermal expansion coefficient similar to concrete, it minimizes internal stresses during freeze-thaw cycles, reducing concrete cracking compared to steel reinforcement.
Can I use 10mm FRP rebar for structural concrete applications?
Yes, our 10mm FRP rebar is suitable for many structural applications when designed according to ACI 440.1R guidelines for FRP-reinforced concrete structures. For specific high-load applications, our technical team can provide project-specific guidance and calculations.
Does concrete reinforced with 10mm FRP rebar require special concrete mix designs?
No special concrete mixes are required when using our 10mm fiberglass rebar. Standard concrete formulations work perfectly with our product, though we recommend maintaining proper concrete cover according to your local building codes.
How do I connect or splice 10mm FRP rebar sections?
Unlike steel that requires welding or mechanical couplers, our 10mm FRP rebar uses simple overlap splicing methods. The required overlap length is typically 40 times the bar diameter (400mm) for standard applications, making field installation straightforward without specialized equipment.
What building codes and standards does your 10mm FRP rebar comply with?
Our 10mm GFRP reinforcement bars comply with international standards including ACI 440.1R-15, ASTM D7957, CSA S807, and CSA S6-19 for fiber reinforced polymers in concrete structures. Each production batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistent performance.
