This product is made in collaboration with Dulux to recycle its waste material.
Using powder waste from Dulux, Transmutation have found a way to turn this into plastic feedstock that can be used to displace virgin plastic in products. This is known as PostPrime Plastic™ pellet feedstock and the first product produced using this material is a Bar Chair.
The multi-purpose, high strength, highly stable bar chairs are suitable for civil, industrial and residential applications for providing designed concrete cover.
Environmentally preferable Bar Chairs that are ultra sturdy for supporting concrete reinforcing mesh. Certified by GECA, Transmutation Bar Chairs are ideal for Green Star projects.
Advantages:
Plus, Transmutation is the first manufacturer of Bar Chairs from environmentally certified recycled plastic.

PostPrime PlasticTM Bar Chairs are routinely used for supporting reinforcing bar / mesh when placing concrete. Additionally bar chairs help to ensure the correct concrete cover is provided per design specifications.
Reinforcing mesh is most effective in the top half of a slab, where it is used to increase its flexural strength and reduce the chance of shrinkage, heaving or settling cracking. To achieve this, bar chairs are utilised to suspend the mesh / reinforcing bar.
Typically, bar chairs which will allow 40-50mm of cover to the top of the finished pour height are selected. Using tie wire as part of the reinforcement placement process these chairs are tied to the layer of reinforcement to fix it and remove the chance of movement during the concrete pour.
PostPrime PlasticTM Bar Chairs: 20 or 200 per carton
PostPrime PlasticTM Bar Chairs are supplied in recyclable cardboard cartons.

The substrate surface can be blinding, cement treated crushed rock, compacted ground or formed surfaces. The chairs are typically utilised in horizontal applications however can also work in vertical spacing for walls.
To calculate the required number of bar chairs per m2, an average of 1 chair for every square metre can be applied as a general guideline for light reinforcement and 1 chair per 0.55 m2 for densely reinforced applications. This can vary depending on the weight of mesh / bar and the particulars or your project. Always refer to your individual engineering specifications / calculations.
