TECHNICAL DATA

ConServ 800 FIBERGLAS REBAR is a structural spiral wrapped fiberglass reinforcing rod which is corrosion resistant, non-conductive and lightweight while it is one-fourth the weight of steel rebar.  It more closely matches the characteristics of wood for modulus of elasticity, expansion and contraction, and condensation than does typical steel reinforcing rod.

USES

For making load bearing connections, pinning and reinforcing wood and concrete elements.  Typical applications include attachment and reinforcement of rafters, trusses, purlins, framing members, beams, sills, columns, logs, timbers, etc.  It can be used for casting wood and concrete elements and to replace steel rebar in concrete slabs, forms and beams.  Fiberglass rebar is most often used in conjunction with ConServ 500 Epoxy Adhesive for attaching the rebar to the elements and the elements to one another.

PROPERTIES

Continuous drawn glass roving saturated with vinyl ester resin.  A single strand, spiral wrapped around the exterior diameter to provide a spiral indentation in the bar providing maximum bonding and lock to epoxy, concrete or grout bedding.
