Rebar spacer

Plastic spacers (manufactured from polymers) offer a classic, fast solutions that is easily laid on form-works.

The function of rebar spacers is to maintain the precise positioning of steel reinforcement, facilitating the implementation of theoretical design specifications in concrete construction.

[1] The use of spacers is particularly important in areas with high earthquake activity in combination with corrosive environments (like proximity to the salt water of the sea),[2] for example Japan, Iran, Greece, California, etc.

Such separation establishes an unobstructed pathway for corrosive substances to access the steel reinforcement from the concrete product's exterior.

Concrete spacers with a plastic clip or fixing mechanism do not have a negative effect on material integrity and do not weaken the corrosion protective cover over the reinforcement.

The plastic clip or fastening mechanism is incorporated at a depth of merely 5 mm into the spacer, thereby preserving the material's integrity at the surface of the product.

This plastic component in the clip or fastening mechanism serves exclusively for attachment and securing of the reinforcement, allowing the concrete segment to fulfil the spacer's functional role.
