FIBRETRON rebars are Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Rebars that are a lightweight, high-strength and corrosion-resistant alternative to traditional steel reinforcement bars. FIBRETRON rebars are made of composite material, which comprises of high strength glass fibers embedded in a polymer resin matrix.
FIBRETRON rebars have a 15% lower carbon footprint than steel*
Minimal heat, water, and energy used Lower CO2 emissions Process efficiency = minimal waste
4 x lighter than steel More products per truckload Less fuel required for transportation
Increases asset life-cycle by as much as four times Zero maintenance requirements Seawater can be used in cement production Saves fresh water Less cement content needed
FIBRETRON composites can be crushed and used as aggregate in concrete
The use of Fibretron rebars in construction can play a significant role in India's mission to become 'Net zero' by reducing the carbon foo print of buildings and infrastructure. Fibretron rebars are an innovative and eco-friendly alternative to traditional steel reinforcement bars, with significantly lower embodied carbon and a longer service life. By replacing steel with Fibretron rebars, the construction industry can reduce its carbon emissions and contribute to India's ambitious goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
