Basanite Inc. announced that on June 13, 2023, the Company received final approval from Florida Department of Transportation, (FDOT,) on a range of its BasaFlexTM products. The approval combined a facility inspection with a QA/QC Process Audit and a coordinated testing program performed onsite at Basanite and the University of Sherbrook. A new feature in the FDOT approval criteria included long-term mechanical properties testing under an alkaline load.

BasaFlex, a composite reinforcement bar or "rebar," is a, sustainable alternative to steel in concrete reinforcement. BasaFlex is engineered to add intrinsic value to a concrete structure by eliminating corrosion problems associated with typical steel reinforcement, saving both time and money over the lifecycle of a concrete structure. BasaFlex has a 100-year design life, is non-corrosive, weighs just 25% of steel, but has a 2.5 times greater tensile strength.

It is also transparent to magnetic fields, radar frequencies, and other electromagnetic radiated energy and is electrically and thermally non-conductive. It is easy to use and much safer to handle on the job site. Because of its core advantages and competitive price point, Basanite Inc. is confident BasaFlex will become the construction industry's number one choice for concrete reinforcement.
