8MST STRUCTURAL BAR (20M)

8MST-BAR

a composite rebar, often called “fiberglass” rebar, certified for all structural applications.  MST-BAR is Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebar and is an ASTM D7957 and ACI 440.11-22 certified.  MST-BAR is a non-corrosive solution to replace epoxy-coated, galvanized, stainless and plain (black) steel rebar and provides reinforced concrete centuries of maintenance-free serviceability.  Over 2X the tensile strength and a fraction of the weight of grade 60 steel rebar means it’s the perfect solution for concrete reinforcement.

 

Key Advantages

• Corrosion-proof Reinforcement: Zero rust, zero spalling, eliminates costly rehabilitation and maintenance.
  
• 100+ Years Service Life: Engineered to extend the service life of your reinforced concrete for centuries.
  
• Quick & Simple Installation: Up to 50% labor savings compared to installing traditional steel rebar.
  
• Transportation Savings: Weighs 25% the weight of steel rebar. One truck of MST-BAR® replaces four truckloads of steel.
  
• High Performance in All Climates: Stronger reinforcement in freeze-thaw climates and guaranteed longevity in coastal regions.
  
• No Waterproofing: Eliminates need for costly waterproofing agents and epoxy coating necessitated by rust-prone steel rebar.
  
• MST-BAR® BEND Technology: Fastest turnaround time for factory fabricated bent bars. Our proprietary corrugated sleeve achieves any bend possible.
  
• Thermal Insulator: Increase your structure’s energy efficiency.
  
• Nonconductive & Nonferrous: Ideal for projects with electro-magnetic sensitivity.
  
• High Chemical Resistance: High alkaline resistance. Impervious to de-icing salts and other harsh chemical attacks.
  
• Environmental Sustainability: Environmentally friendly manufacturing leaves a fraction of the carbon footprint left by steel mills.
  
• High Fatigue Resistance: 20X higher resistance under cyclical loading compared to traditional steel rebar.
