Steklonit Stekon - Fiber-Reinforced Plastic Rebar

Easy installation:

• Use of building machinery may be totally abandoned
• Reduced period of building and assembling works

High resistance to corrosion

• Possibleuseunder exposure to aggressive media
• Possible thinning of protective concrete layer
• Extendedoperationallifetimeof a facility
• Extendedinter-maintenance period
• Reduced expenses for operation of a facility
• Cost effective delivery of material
• Shrunkstorage space for storing the rebars
• Reduced losses when cut to necessary size
• Rebars of greater diameters are produced only as rods
• Any length of rodsor coiling is possible uponagreeingaboutwithacustomer

Coiling is possible

• With its inherent strength performance and its structure being essentially different from structure of steel, fiber-reinforced polymer rebar, if 4 to 12 mm in diameter, can be coiled. As a result, alongside with thereby optimized logistics, storage and installation, butt-joints may almost be avoided while reinforcing framework composed of solid rods.
• Rebars of greater diameters are produced only as rods
• Any length of rods or coiling is possible upon agreeing about with a customer 

 Cost efficiency

• Assuming apossible calculated substitution of diameters, direct saving would achieve 10-30% o wing to reduced cost of reinforcing framework
• Subject to optimization of building machinery, process savings may be several times greater than direct savings

• footing of residential buildings, industrial strictures and other structural concepts on elastic foundations
• industrial flooring and open platforms for machinery
• hydraulic works (purification and treatment facilities, water sluices and water-draining facilities, pumping stations)
• bridgeworks, berthing and marine facilities
• tunnels structures
• normal and pre-stressed civil structures when constructing monolithic concrete and prefabricated buildings
• structural parts as individual rods
• retaining walls and structures
• load-bearing/non-loadbearing wall elements
• concrete elements and structures on foundation (footings, floors, slabs and etc.)
• bridges
• railroad beds
• fencings
• electric power plants, buildings and facilities involving electromagnetic emission
• building and facilities for storing solid domestic wastes, highly-toxic wastes.

When it comes to a justifying calculation, Ultimate tensile strength, being one of the main characteristics of rebars, gives economical and process benefit at reinforcing a civil structure through substituting metal rebars for equally strong STEKON fiber-reinforced polymer rebar of minor diameter (examples provided in a comparative table below):
