FAQ

What is FRP Rebar?

FRP Rebar (Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebar) is a high-strength, lightweight, non-corrosive reinforcement rod made from fiberglass and resin. It is used as an alternative to steel rebar in concrete structures where corrosion resistance is critical.

Where is FRP Rebar typically used?

FRP Rebar is used in:

Bridges and highways

Coastal and marine structures

Tunnels and subways

Water treatment plants

Foundations, retaining walls, and slabs

MRI rooms and electrical substations

Is FRP Rebar cost-effective?

While the initial cost may be higher than steel, lifetime savings are significant due to zero corrosion, reduced maintenance, and longer service life.

Can FRP Rebar be customized?

Yes, Aangi Advance Composite offers customizable designs, colors, and sizes to meet specific project requirements.
