GFRP Tech, the only manufacturer of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) products, has officially launched its EnviraBar rebar product range in South Africa, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional steel rebar.
Manufactured at GFRP Tech’s new state-of-the-art facility in Linbro Park, Johannesburg, EnviraBar consists of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres and aims to replace traditional steel rebar in construction projects.
Unlike steel, EnviraBar is immune to corrosion and boasts higher tensile strength, ensuring long-term structural integrity while reducing maintenance needs. EnviraBar further reduces the risk of environmental contamination.
“We are proud to introduce this groundbreaking step forward in South Africa’s engineering and construction industry, merging innovation and engineering to prioritise sustainability in the construction sector,” says GFRP Tech CEO Allen Fiford.
