What are the sizes available of Titan Bar (GFRP)?Admin2024-11-02T18:19:13+00:00
We manufacture and supply Titan Bar (GFRP) of diameters 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 25 and 32mm.
How do the weights of steel rebar compare with that of GFRP rebar?Admin2024-11-02T18:22:16+00:00
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.
How to bend GFRP rebar?Admin2024-11-02T18:20:30+00:00
While on-site bending is not possible, GFRP rebars can be bent during the manufacturing process.
How to store and ship Titan Bar (GFRP)?Admin2024-11-02T18:21:38+00:00
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)
