The #1 Solution for Concrete Reinforcement
Fiberglass Rebar - The Obvious Replacement to Steel
Manufactured by B&B Manufacturing Inc.
A Paradigm Shift in Reinforcing Concrete
MST-BAR is a Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Rebar. It is the only GFRP Rebar that is an
Integrally Ribbed Maximum Strength Rebar. MST-BAR is the only GFRP Rebar that bonds to concrete
better than steel. Steel Rebar oxidizes in concrete which creates rust cancers. The oxidition process
causes the rebar to expand which results in the cover concrete to spall, leading to failure.
MST-BAR is 4x lighter than steel rebar, 3x stronger than steel rebar, does not conduct heat, cold or
electricity, substantially reduces workplace injuries, takes half the time to install with half the amount
of people, requires no maintenance or repairs and lasts longer than the concrete it is reinforcing.
Governments are specifying it and the world is starting to realize MST-BAR is the solution.
The Only Authentic Integrally Ribbed GFRP
B&B FRP Manufacturing Inc.’s specially engineered and designed Integral Rib mechanically locks
MST-BAR into the concrete. Unlike every other rebar (steel or GFRP), the only way to pull it out of
the concrete is to break the concrete itself.
There are many benefits to the Integral Rib. Not only are there less cracks with smaller crack widths,
you can also avoid 50% of traditional bent bar applications by using straight lengths of MST-BAR.
These applications include but are not limited to joining slabs, joining walls to floors, corners,
anchoring and less embediment lengths.
MST-BAR vs. Steel Rebar
1/4 THE WEIGHT OF STEEL
Get 4x the amount of product on your trucks and save incredibly on
transportation costs. MST-BAR is also significantly easier to handle and use.
3x STRONGER THAN STEEL
With a tensile strength 3x the amount of steel and a fatigue resistance 20x the
amount of steel, MST-BAR is the trusted solution for any project.
NON CORROSIVE AND NON CONDUCTIVE
MST-BAR is non-corrosive and suited to any environmental exposure. MST-BAR
does not conduct heat, cold, or electricity.
GREENER SOLUTIONS
The manufacturing process of MST-BAR produces far less carbon emissions than
the steel industry which has a devastating impact on the environment.
Steel Rebar is NOT the Solution
100 years ago, steel rebar was developed as the only option for reinforcing concrete. However, many of the
structures developed before steel rebar are still standing today. Structures using steel rebar in corrosive
environements will begin to fail after 10 years.
Corrosion costs the private and public sectors $hundreds of billions of dollars in repair and maintenance costs
a year. Corroding steel rebar is a ticking time bomb because detemining the moment of failure can mean the
difference between life and death.
MST-BAR can save the current costs of corrosion and eliminate all failures due to corrosion because it will
outlive the concrete it is reinforcing.
Applications
MST-BAR is accepted to be used anywere that steel rebar is used. It is especially necessary to use in coastal
areas, near high voltage currents and near magnetic fields. For example:
