H-Forms Helix MircoRebar
No Labor Required to Install
Superior to Standard Rebar
Makes concrete more durable
Produces concrete that’s 4x stronger with less than half the tonnage of steel
Improves shear strength and absorbs 200% more energy
Prevents spalling due to steel corrosion / expansion
Reduces rebar congestion in multiple mat slabs - replaces rebar or increases spacing of rebar
Provides a multi-directional matrix of reinforcement 1-inch long twisted high carbon steel rods
Keeps any cracks small and short - meeting guidelines of the American Concrete Institute (ACI)
Meets or exceeds Uniform Evaluation Service (UES) Report EC 105 requirements
Reduced carbon footprint through reduced total steel quantity and potential reduced concrete thickness
Rust-resistant (Zinc Electroplated)
Zinc coating resists rust 3x longer than uncoated rebar
Uses for H-Forms Helix MicroRebar
Structural Foundations
Footings
Slabs
Post-Stresses and Pre-Stressed Floors and Slabs
Structural Floors
Landscaping Flatwork, Driveways, Airport Runways and Roads
Structural Walls (especially ICF Walls)
Beams, Columns and Piers
Bridges and Highways
Precast Products
Sanitary, Storm and Culvert Products
Tilt-up Construction
Shotcrete and Gunite (pumps easily, even through a 2-inch hose)
Winery Caves, Freeway Tunnels and Reservoirs
Swimming Pools
Made with recycled American steel
Reduces your carbon footprint by 33% compared to standard rebar, and helps you achieve your LEED goal
Reduces the emissions or transport because it requires one-quarter the weight of standard rebar rods
For Future Generations
Pours and finishes like any concrete
Compatible with common curing compounds, dry shake or spray-on toppings
Can be mixed at the batch plant or on the job site (takes minutes per truck)
Eliminates estimating, storing, cutting, bending, placing and tying most rebar steel. In most Seismic areas, designs need a hybrid of standard rebar in high shear places but most can be replaced.
Eliminates fabricating cages for deep piers
H-Forms Helix MicroRebar will provide engineering comparison calculations with your conventional steel design at no charge to show you how few conventional steel rods you will need along with the Helix doses.
Far Easier than Standard Rebar
Save Time, Labor and Money
Saves 10% - 30% the cost of concrete work on your next project
Eliminates all estimating and the only labor needed is to sift the Helix into the ready-mix drum on site or in the batch plant, plus a 5-minute full-speed final mixing
Reduces or eliminates the time and expense of skilled labor to estimate, cut, bend and tie steel
Weighs only one-quarter of the weight of standard rebar rods for the same job
Shipped in 7” x 10” x 14”, 47 lbs. boxes (Helix is 45 lbs.)
No need for the expense of semi trucks, forklifts or cranes
Even UPS can deliver!
Makes for a safer job site - reduces or eliminates:
The danger of vertical bars (eye injury)
The tripping hazard of standard rebar mats
