FRP rebar is made out of a mix of ultra-strong glass or basalt fibres and a connecting resin, resulting in a construction grade rebar with prevailing benefits over steel. Synthetic resins are used as a binding agent for fibres, protecting the fibres from mechanical effects and from the harmful affects of the environment during manufacturing of the product and its operation.

Fibreglass reinforcement manufacturing process consists of several main stages. First, fibreglass in the form of continuous strands is impregnated in a special container with a polymer resin, which contains a curing composition, as a result of which the so-called roving is obtained.

When the fibreglass is completely soaked, the roving is fed into the forming die to obtain a bar of a given diameter. Without waiting for the bar to harden, the source material is pulled through the polymerization chamber and heated to a certain temperature. Finally, the stock is wound and secured to create a ribbed surface. The finished reinforcement enters the cooling unit and then the rebar is cut into sections of a predetermined length or wound into coils.
