GFRP rebars are 1/4th weight of steel rebars due to the composite materials used in manufacturing, making its density only about 1900 kg/cu.m.
On-site cutting can be done using carbide or diamond-coated blades, which are specifically designed to handle the high strength and durability of GFRP rebar or reinforcement bars like Titan Bar (GFRP). Low speed of cutting is recommended for cleaner cuts.
While certain care must be taken while storing Titan Bar (GFRP) on site, it is easy.
- DO NOT store Titan Bar (GFRP) in direct sunlight for longer period. ALWAYS store in shade. Whereas, storing GFRP rebars under rain has no effect as the material does not corrode
- DO NOT drag Titan Bar (GFRP) on ground or across sharp edges.
- ALWAYS use proper hoisting equipment and multiple lifting points when handling linear (for size 12mm and above), non-linear and bent Titan Bar (GFRP)
Products made of glass fibre reinforced polymer have a high durability and can withstand many years without compromising their structure. Polymers age very slowly, In addition, external influences such as humidity, heat or UV rays hardly deteriorate their properties and they are extremely resistant in aggressive environments.
