Captain Steel Launches RustGuard, Pioneering Advanced Epoxy-Coated TMT Technology
Captain Steel India Ltd raised the bar for construction with the launch of RustGuard, its latest innovation in FBE-coated TMT rebars. Engineered for superior durability and corrosion protection, these bars address the evolving needs of infrastructure builders across India.
Superior Durability & Strength
In India, building projects often battle harsh humidity, salty coastal air, and corrosive elements that weaken structures. When steel rusts, it compromises safety and leads to expensive, ongoing repairs. To tackle these challenges, Captain Steel India Ltd. created RustGuard TMT bars, specifically created to resist corrosion and ensure long-term structural integrity. These bars are subjected to rigorous testing, including coating thickness tests, bend tests, and continuity tests to meet high-quality standards (IS 13620:1993).
According to Towards Chem&Materials, the fusion bonded epoxy coatings market size accounted for USD 8.95 billion in 2025 and is predicted to increase from USD 9.54 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 16.88 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 6.55% from 2026 to 2035 as demand for corrosion protection in oil & gas pipelines is increasing globally.
