Kolkata: ARC Insulations, a leading innovator in Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) technology, has announced major strides in supporting India’s move toward rust-free, long-lasting, and sustainable infrastructure. With over 22 years of industry expertise, the company has firmly positioned GFRP rebar as a future-ready and dependable alternative to traditional steel, effectively addressing persistent challenges such as corrosion, premature repairs, and high maintenance costs.
As India expands its portfolio of bridges, coastal structures, metro rail networks, highways and industrial facilities, the impact of corrosion continues to pose a trillion-rupee challenge. GFRP rebar offers a breakthrough solution with 2–3 times higher tensile strength than steel, while being completely non-corrosive and non-conductive. This significantly enhances structural durability, prevents rust-related deterioration, and extends the service life of assets—especially in harsh, coastal, or chemically exposed environments.
Aligning strongly with India’s Go Green vision, GFRP rebar contributes to a reduced lifecycle carbon footprint by minimising repairs, lowering material usage, and reducing long-term maintenance. This sustainability advantage has accelerated global adoption, with several countries now integrating GFRP into their construction standards. India too is rapidly recognising its long-term value and resilience in modern infrastructure development.
ARC Insulations’ products are backed by stringent quality systems, including
ISO 9001:2015 certification, BIS IS 18256:2023 compliance, ASTM/ACI-based testing and independent third-party inspections. The company’s advanced in-house laboratories and consistent product performance have earned the trust of contractors, developers and government bodies across India, leading to repeated specification of ARC GFRP rebar in critical, high-load projects.
“Our mission has always been to engineer materials that outperform traditional systems while supporting a more sustainable future,” said ARC Insulations. “With GFRP rebar, India has an opportunity to build greener, longer-lasting infrastructure and significantly reduce lifecycle costs.”
ARC’s GFRP reinforcements and profiles are deployed across demanding infrastructure and industrial projects nationwide, demonstrating exceptional long-term performance and reliability. With interest surging across India, ARC Insulations continues to lead the movement toward a rust-free, durable and environmentally responsible nation.
