MST-BAR is the Future of Reinforcing Concrete.
MST BAR Fiberglass Rebar: A stronger, lighter, greener and more durable reinforcing alternative to steel. The #1 solution for concrete reinforcement
Get 4x the amount of product on your trucks and save significantly on transportation costs. MST-BAR is also much easier to handle and use.
1/4 The Weight Of Steel
With a tensile strength of minimum 1000 MPa - 1200 MPa(145KSI-180KSI) and fatigue resistance 20x the amount of steel, MST-BAR is the trusted solution for any project.
3x Stronger In Tensile Strength
MST-BAR is non-corrosive and suitable for any environmental exposure. It does not conduct heat, cold, or electricity.
Non-Corrosive And Non-Conductive
The manufacturing process and transportation of MST-BAR produces far less carbon emissions than steel.

A Paradigm Shift in Reinforcing Concrete
MST-BAR is a Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebar. It is the only GFRP rebar that is an integrally ribbed maximum strength rebar. MST-BARTM bonds to concrete exceptionally well. While steel rebar can oxidize in concrete, leading to potential rust and expansion, MST-BARTM offers a durable alternative.MST-BARTM is 4x lighter than steel rebar, 3x stronger than steel rebar, does not conduct heat, cold, or electricity, substantially reduces workplace injuries, takes half the time to install with half the number of people, requires no maintenance or repairs, and lasts longer than the concrete it is reinforcing. Governments are specifying it, and the world is starting to realize that MST-BARTM is the solution.
The Only Authentic Integrally Ribbed GFRP
MST Rebar Inc.’s specially engineered and designed Integral Rib mechanically locks MST-BAR into the concrete. Unlike other rebar (both steel and GFRP), the only way to pull it out of the concrete is to break the concrete itself.
There are many benefits to the Integral Rib. Not only are there fewer cracks with smaller crack widths, but you can also avoid 50% of traditional bent bar applications by using straight lengths of MST-BAR. These applications include, but are not limited to, joining slabs, joining walls to floors, corners, anchoring, and reducing embedment lengths.
Applications
MST-BAR is suitable anywhere that steel rebar is used. It is especially beneficial to use in coastal areas, near high voltage currents and near magnetic fields. For example:
