Deformed High Tensile Bars

Deformed High Tensile (DHT) steel rebars (reinforcing bars) are used primarily for concrete reinforcement in construction. Caribbean Steel Mills' rebars are formed by a hot-rolling process which eliminates the need for further straightening of the finished product. This results in 'blue steel' that will not rust as readily as the 'straightened and cut' material.

The ribs of the bar increase the strength of the bond between the steel and the concrete, and this is particularly important in areas prone to earth movements and high wind load.

Each bar is clearly identified with either TRINIDAD or CSM rolled on to the surface indicating the diameter and the grade according to the ASTM or BS standards.
