BENEFITS

CONCIOUS CHOICE

Basalt Fiber Composite Rebar | BFR

  • Sustainable 100+ year product

  • 100% non-corrosive

  • Rust Proof

  • Superior strength

  • Reduces waste and harmful impact to the environment

  • Reduces installation costs (eliminates costly maintenance)

  • Similar thermal expansion coefficient as concrete; excellent performance in freeze/thaw environments

  • Chemical, alkali and UV resistant

  • Optimal for use in harsh applications

  • Non-conductive, non-magnetic, no RF interference

Basalt Rebar Product Comparison​​

  • Basalt is impervious to attacks from alkali, chemicals or water, which causes steel to corrode or rust

  • Basalt has 25% of the weight of steel and is 2.5 times greater specific tensile strength

  • Basalt has stable pricing, no buy-ups required to secure best pricing compared to steel, which fluctuates

  • Basalt has 2 times the working temperature (400°C vs. 200°C) of Glass FRPs

  • Basalt has 20 – 40% better mechanical properties and puncture resistance than Fiberglass

  • Basalt is very Eco-Friendly, with dramatically lower environmental impact (10 : 1) vs. fiberglass products

  • Basalt fiber has significantly lower cost than carbon fiber (10 – 15X lower)

Green building materials for concrete construction

Basalt Reinforced Rebar has less than 1/10th the carbon footprint of steel, and basalt has the lowest environmental impact in a Life-Cycle Assessment compared with other FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) rebar for concrete reinforcement construction applications. Basalt fiber is all natural and produced from stone; without additives typically found in other materials such as glass fiber reinforcements.
