Glass Fiber Coupler
A Non-Metallic Coupling Solution for GFRP Rock Bolting Systems
Rayon Glass Fiber Coupler is a new composite coupling solution developed for joining GFRP rock bolts. Designed to complement GFRP bolting systems, it provides a non-metallic approach to bolt extension and connection.
Glass Fiber Coupler
THE GFRP CONNECTION
Designed for GFRP Rock Bolting Systems
GFRP rock bolts are used for ground reinforcement in applications such as mining, tunneling and slope stabilization. When longer bolt lengths are required, couplers are used to connect individual bolt sections.
