Bars, components and structures made of fiberglass for permanent reinforcements

Glasspree® is a line of fibre glass products manufactured with a particular resin (vinyl ester) designed to be used in permanent applications. In such applications, composite materials represent an excellent alternative to common reinforcing materials, offering new design opportunities in the civil engineering and geotechnical fields.

The particular resin used to manufacture Glasspree® products allow them to be used either in an alkaline environment (concrete) as well as in a medium to strongly corrosive environment where otherwise it should be necessary to use a special kind of steel. The wide range of profiles available, offer many different solutions according to the different design needs.

Main advantages of Glasspree® products are:

  • durability in corrosive and alkaline environment
  • excellent chemical resistance
  • chlorine ions damage free
  • transparency to radio-frequencies and to magnetic fields
  • excellent insulating material (no galvanic corrosion).

 

The use of Glasspree® products toward traditional reinforcing steel reduces both installation costs and maintenance costs (because of its extreme lightness and durability).
