Plastic spacers and related products from virgin material for reinforced concrete construction

This EPD includes the following spacer types:

- Continuous spacers – normally characterised by elongated linear shape; used to support horizontal layers of reinforcement mesh

- Wheel spacers – normally characterised by a circular section, perpendicular to the bar to which it is attached; used for maintaining distance between vertical layers of reinforcement mesh and formwork

- Clip-on spacers – normally characterised by an integrated clip to clamp around the rebar; used with horizontal and vertical layers of reinforcement mesh

- Rebar chair spacers – normally characterised by cylindrical or rectangular shape with enlarged footing; used to support horizontal layers of reinforcement mesh or individual rebars

- Related products encompass concrete accessories, such as chamfers, profiles, shim pads, caps and plugs for tube spacers as well as protection caps for protruding rebars. They are used during or after concrete construction to facilitate the forming, pouring, finishing and positioning of concrete structures.
