Basalt rebar is a bar with continuous spiral ribbing formed by
means of winding by basalt strip oiled in highly durable polymeric
compound.
Basalt rebar is a promising composite material with a wide
range of application in construction.
Rebar is resistant to corrosion and aggressive chemical
compounds, is extremely light and durable.
Research results have shown that the service life of
constructions, where basalt rebar is used, considerably exceeds the
life of similar constructions where other materials are used.
Properties of the BCR: Low specific weight: 4 times lighter than
steel rebar; Resistance to corrosion, rotting, and warping; Unique
chemical resistance (potash environment, hydrochloric acid, alkali,
sea water, and other aggressive environments); Low thermal
conductivity; Resistance to rapid temperature drops; Working
temperature range *0 - **0 °Ð¡; Long overhaul period for
constructions; Considerably lower maintenance and repair expenses;
Higher operational reliability and long life of constructions and
products.
Major spheres of application for Basalt Composite Rebar
are:
 Highly corrosive conditions;
 Walling structures;
 Restoration of ferroconcrete structures;
 Road construction. Technical properties of BCR make it a
perfect material for civil and industrial construction. It is used
in the upper layers of concrete elements, roads and bridges,
different structures that work in highly corrosive conditions
(moorages, docks, reinforcement of the coastline, etc.) Test
results show high durability of concrete elements when reinforced
by BCR. The lifetime of such elements is significantly higher than
of similar elements reinforced by other materials. Reinforced
concrete design principles are applied to BCR concrete elements.
Therefore, classification by type of BCR used is similar too.
BCR considerably exceeds steel bar by its corrosion resistance
characteristics; therefore, it is used in structures, where
corrosion is high. Fitting BCR into structures is accomplished
either by means of auto-locking plastic elements or binding.
