HARDplus® Fiberglass Reinforcement ⌀8
The difference between the two types of fiberglass reinforcement:
- GDRP reinforcement with HARDplus® sand coating
- Normal fiberglass reinforcement /GFRP/
Conventional composite reinforcement is slippery and has about 83% adhesion to concrete. This limits its application and makes it suitable only for low-load structures. HARDplus® sand-coated composite reinforcement does not have this drawback, making it a better choice and twice as reliable!
