MST-BAR® is an industry leading GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) Rebar built to last. It is strong, lightweight, sustainable, and doesn’t corrode. MST-BAR® is non-corrosive and non-conductive and is the perfect reinforcement solution for environments exposed to water, salt, humidity, high voltage currents, and magnetic fields. With a life span of more than 100 years, MST-BAR® is more durable & a much longer lasting solution over galvanized, epoxy coated and stainless steel. MST-BAR® is approved & manufactured in compliance with ACI 440.
MST-BAR® is an excellent replacement for conventional steel rebar.
