SPACERS
Heavy-duty plastic clip spacer (also named 'A' Shape Spacer) designed to accept bars from 6 to 18 mm. 300% exceeds requirements of German performance class L2. Fully compliant to CRSI Manual of Standard Practice (USA). Recommended installation at 50 to 100 cm intervals. The spacer can be used for various applications in pre-cast or insitu concrete.
50% post-consumer recycled content by product weight

Legoplast Plastic Manufacturing uses mechanically recycled Polypropylene (PP) in its product manufacturing. This material significantly reduces the carbon footprint compared to virgin polypropylene. Studies indicate that this process can cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80%, primarily by eliminating the energy-intensive production associated with virgin plastic.
The adoption of recycled polypropylene promotes sustainable manufacturing practices within the construction industry. Unlike traditional materials such as concrete, which have a high carbon footprint due to cement production, Legoplast's heavy-duty 4-in-1 plastic spacers offer an environmentally friendly alternative. Construction companies in the UAE and GCC contributes to reducing their projects' environmental impact by using Legoplast spacers instead of the commonly used concrete cover blocks.
During the R&D process, the Legoplast team simulated a point load using a virtual test bench. The visualization below illustrates a 210 kg load test applied by a steel rebar to the Clip Spacer. The colors in the visualization represent the effects on the Clip Spacer under this load. On the right side of each image, you’ll find a scale with corresponding values and colors. The slides are labeled as follows (from left to right, top to bottom):
Legoplast Plastic Manufacturing's facilities are situated in the Jabal Ali Industrial First area of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
At Legoplast Plastic Manufacturing, we utilize the injection molding process to create plastic rebar spacers from recycled raw materials. This efficient process involves melting plastic pellets and injecting them into molds, resulting in high-quality parts. Notably, our zero-waste approach ensures that scrapped items and raw material offcuts are shredded and reused as recycled materials.
