GFRP REBARS
What is GFRP ?
GFRP stands for Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (or Plastic). It is a composite material made of glass fibers embedded in a polymer matrix (usually epoxy, polyester, or vinyl ester). GFRP combines the strength of glass fibers with the lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties of polymers.
