# Shinestar FGC

> Shinestar FGC is a leading manufacturer of GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) rebars and pultruded structural profiles. Products are 100% corrosion-proof, up to 80% lighter than steel, non-magnetic, electrically non-conductive, and have tensile strength roughly 2x that of steel — engineered for coastal, chemical, marine, and infrastructure projects.

## Products

### FGC Rebars (GFRP Rebars)
- Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer reinforcement bars; direct alternative to steel rebar.
- 100% corrosion-proof — no chloride or alkali degradation.
- ~25% the weight of steel; ~2x the tensile strength of steel.
- Non-magnetic and electrically non-conductive.
- Manufactured and tested to IS 16481; available in customizable diameters and surface textures (sand-coated, ribbed, helically wrapped).
- Applications: bridges, marine and coastal structures, water tanks, dams, retaining walls, industrial floors, swimming pool foundations, road and rail infrastructure, MRI rooms, tunnels.

### FGC Profiles (GFRP / FRP Pultruded Profiles)
- Pultruded fiberglass composite profiles: angles, channels, tubes, rods, gratings, custom sections.
- Fire-Retardant (FR) grade; stable up to ~120°C; glass intact to ~1200°C.
- Multiple color options — paint and primer not required.
- Joined via bolts, screws, epoxy or polyurethane adhesives (not weldable).
- Applications: fencing, gates, railings, platforms, racks, cable trays, walkways, poultry cages, shedworks, partitions, frameworks.

## Why GFRP over steel
- Corrosion immunity in salt, chemical, and humid environments.
- 4-5x lighter — faster installation, lower transport cost, smaller cranes.
- Higher tensile strength-to-weight ratio.
- Longer service life and lower lifecycle maintenance cost.
- Lower theft risk vs steel (no scrap-metal value).
- Lower embodied energy than steel production.
