Why MST‑BAR?
- Never rusts – non-corrosive
- Stronger – 2.5–3× tensile strength compared to steel; fatigue strength 20× higher
- Lighter – about 4× lighter than steel, reducing transport costs
- Eco-friendly – lower carbon emissions in manufacturing; EPD available on request
MST‑BAR vs Steel Rebar
Steel has been used in reinforced concrete for over a century, but corrosion remains a persistent issue, especially in humid or marine environments. This results in concrete deterioration and costly repairs.
MST‑BAR® completely resists corrosion, with a lifespan that outlasts even the concrete it reinforces.
Key Advantages:
- No rust
- Non-conductive (heat, cold, or electricity)
- 4× lighter – saves on handling and shipping
- 3× stronger in tensile strength
- 20× better fatigue resistance
- Over 100-year life expectancy
- Eco-friendly: significantly lower emissions during production
- Superior bond strength – MST‑BAR adheres to concrete 3× better than steel. Once embedded, it can only be removed by breaking the concrete.
Applications
MST‑BAR® is ideal for any project needing durable, long-lasting reinforcement—especially in coastal, humid, or corrosive environments.
Common Uses:
- Foundations
- Roads & Bridges
- Swimming Pools
- Seawalls & Wharves
- Parking Garages
- Dams
- Any structure in marine environments
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can MST‑BAR be hammered into sand or reef?
Yes, 100%—suitable for coastal construction.
- How long does it last?
Unlike steel, it doesn’t rust. It will last longer than the concrete itself.
- What about bond strength?
It’s 3× stronger than steel—removal is only possible by breaking the concrete.
- Is it conductive?
No—MST‑BAR is non-conductive, making it safe for electrical, marine, or thermal-sensitive applications.
- Compared to steel?
