About Plastic Ka Sariya (PKS)

PKS is an innovative product from RoadstaB™, featuring high-performance Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) rebar designed for exceptional tensile strength ranging from 1000 MPa to 1800 MPa.

FRP: Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is a composite material composed of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. In construction and structural engineering, FRP bars serve as an advanced substitute for traditional steel reinforcement bars (rebar) in concrete structures.

Ensuring equal production capacity across five lines for fiber reinforcement bars optimizes efficiency, minimizes bottlenecks, and enhances overall output consistency. This fosters a streamlined and balanced manufacturing process, delivering top-quality products.

PKS from RoadstaB™ is your go-to solution for superior strength and reliability in construction projects.

Types of FRP rebar

GFRP

E-Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) stands out as the most cost-effective structural FRP, making it the top choice for widespread use

Affordable Excellence – Offers the lowest cost among structural FRPs.
Widely Utilized – Preferred for its value and versatility in construction.

BFRP

Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) offers superior strength and alkali resistance compared to GFRP, though it currently comes with a higher price tag due to limited manufacturing capacity. With its nearly limitless resource availability, costs are expected to decrease as production scales up.

Enhanced Strength – Superior performance over GFRP.
Alkali Resistance – Better durability in challenging environments.
Future Savings – Anticipated cost reduction as supply increases.

AFRP

Aramid Fiber Reinforced Polymer (AFRP) isn't as widely used for structural reinforcement due to its lower compressive strength perpendicular to the fiber direction and higher cost. However, its exceptional impact absorption makes it the material of choice for ballistic-resistant textiles.

Impact Absorption – Superior at handling high-impact forces.
Specialized Use – Ideal for ballistic-resistant applications despite higher costs.

CFRP

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) offers the highest strength among FRP materials, with a broad range of strengths due to variations in carbon sources and manufacturing techniques. While it comes with a higher price tag, its exceptional strength and resistance to cyclic and fatigue failures make it a top choice for demanding applications.

Top Strength – Delivers the highest strength and versatility among FRP materials.
Durability – Excellent resistance to cyclic and fatigue failures.
Cost vs. Performance – Higher cost is balanced by superior performance and longevity.

Applications

Bridge Construction Fiber reinforcement bars are essential for reinforcing bridge decks, piers, and other structural elements. Their outstanding corrosion resistance makes them ideal for marine and harsh environments.
Building Construction In building construction, FRP bars enhance the strength of concrete columns, beams, and slabs. They are especially valuable in corrosive environments such as swimming pools and wastewater treatment plants.
Highway and Infrastructure Projects Fiber reinforcement bars are perfect for highway construction, reinforcing roadways, tunnels, retaining walls, and culverts. Their lightweight nature simplifies transportation and installation, making them an efficient choice for large-scale infrastructure projects.
Marine Structures FRP bars are the go-to choice for marine structures, including seawalls, docks, and offshore platforms, thanks to their exceptional resistance to saltwater corrosion.
Repair and Rehabilitation Fiber reinforcement bars are key in repairing and rehabilitating aging concrete structures. They enhance the durability and extend the service life of deteriorating elements, rejuvenating existing infrastructure.
Industrial Facilities In manufacturing plants and industrial facilities, FRP bars reinforce concrete floors, walls, and tanks. Their chemical resistance and ability to handle heavy loads make them ideal for demanding industrial environments.
Historic Preservation In restoring historical structures, fiber reinforcement bars help maintain the original design's structural integrity while enhancing corrosion resistance.
Corrosion-Prone Environments For applications where traditional steel reinforcement faces corrosion issues—like chemical plants, sewage treatment facilities, and salt storage—FRP bars offer a durable alternative.
Electromagnetic Sensitivity In facilities where electromagnetic sensitivity is crucial, like hospitals and laboratories, FRP bars are the preferred choice. Unlike steel reinforcement, FRP bars do not interfere with electronic equipment.
Tunnels and Underground Structures Fiber reinforcement bars are ideal for constructing and reinforcing tunnels, underground parking structures, and subway systems
Crack Control Fiber reinforcement bars play a crucial role in controlling and minimizing cracks in concrete. They effectively distribute and absorb stresses, reducing the likelihood of crack formation and preventing the spread of existing cracks.
