Composite rods
Composite rods – Trokotex, manufacturer of composite reinforcement
Currently, reinforced concrete technology is used in all areas of infrastructure construction. Reinforced concrete structures are a combination of steel and concrete. It is difficult to imagine modern construction without this material, especially since the combination of steel and concrete allows for the optimal use of the best advantages of both materials.
But is that really the case? While concrete absorbs high compressive stresses and steel absorbs tensile stresses, the weak point of the structure is precisely the steel, which corrodes under the influence of contamination and carbonation of the concrete. This process leads to cracks and spalling of the concrete cover, and ultimately to a reduction in the strength of the structure.
An alternative to steel are composite fibreglass reinforcement bars, which do not require expensive anti-corrosion protection, such as epoxy coatings. Trokotex composite bars are made of the highest quality materials and represent a modern, economical reinforcement technology.
Composite rods for concrete reinforcement are an ideal alternative to traditional steel rods. Their use makes it possible to reduce maintenance and repair costs while increasing the durability of the structure.
Advantages and benefits of using Trokotex composite rods
Benefits of using composite rods made from epoxy resins and glass and basalt fibres:
Due to automated production, Trokotex rods are CHEAPER than steel. Savings for the investor can reach up to 50% of the costs associated with reinforcement work.
- No maintenance required
- Up to 9 times lighter than steel
- 30% cheaper to purchase than steel
- Three times stronger than traditional reinforcement
