Premco Rebars and PremcoMesh

non-metallic, loadbearing reinforcements for future generations

The bar-shaped reinforcement Premco REBAR is combining high-strength carbon or glass fibers with extreme resistant resins and are produced in a pultrusion process.
In this process, the fibers are aligned extremely straight and are impregnated with an epoxy resin. After that they are cured in an oven. The combination of elongated fibers and large diameters are leading to incredible high load-bearing capacities for the most extreme requirements, which are durable due to the non-corrosive materials.

As such Premco REBAR are accessible and walkable on site. They are the ideal non-corrosive substitution for steel reinforcements.
The use of non-metallic reinforcement is particularly useful when the reinforcement can show its advantages. For example, generally for exterior components or structures that have to withstand (dew) salt loads. This is where the corrosion-free properties of glass or carbon reinforcement can be beneficial.

PremcoMesh

transfers all the outstanding properties of our bar-shaped reinforcements, the Premco REBAR, to the mat format. The result is a robust and walkable mat for more efficient handling on the construction site.

The Premco REBAR is attached by durable and solid injection molded crossing points forming the rigid mat.

Premco PolyMesh is the right choice where ever high-load occurs and components are permanently exposed to aggressive environmental influences such as de-icing salts.

Applications
Premco REBAR & PremcoMesh

□ Bridge Construction
□ Tunnel & mining constructions
□ Maritime applications
□ Structural Strengthening
□ High-voltage & electromagnetic systems
□ Repair of the Concrete Structures
□ Concrete slabs
□ Balconies & façades
□ Parking decks & garages

Economic Applicability

To achieve the same results of strength of the slab, it is enough to use 6-6.5 times less polymer fiber than steel fiber.

Sustainability & EPD

In concrete with non-metallic reinforcement, the usual steel reinforcement is replaced by grid structures made of carbon or glass fibers. These do not corrode, which is why the concrete cover can be lower, making the concrete components significantly lighter and thinner. In this way, up to 50% of resources (cement, sand, water) and up to 30% of CO2 emissions can be saved, and in some cases even more, depending on the design. This represents a great potential for how we can better manage our resources and help build more climate neutral for generations to come.
A certified EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) is also available for Premco GRID, so that sustainability aspects can already be incorporated into the life cycle
assessment of the building during the planning stage. It is important here that the complete life cycle is considered and taken as a basis for the calculation.
