In the world of RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) construction, even the strongest TMT Bars and concrete need reliable support from lesser-known but critical components – one such component is the fastener. But not just any fastener – we’re talking about Anti-Rust Fasteners that are revolutionizing how India builds in moisture-prone and coastal regions.
What Are Anti-Rust Fasteners?
Anti-Rust Fasteners refer to bolts, nuts, and anchors coated or made with materials that resist corrosion over time. In a country like India, where construction sites often face high humidity, monsoons, and coastal air salinity, rust can silently weaken joints and load-bearing structures.
That’s where APL Apollo SG’s corrosion-resistant fasteners come into play.
Real Construction Example: Coastal Apartment Tower in Visakhapatnam
In 2024, a high-rise luxury apartment complex near the Vizag coastline used APL Apollo SG Fasteners along with Fe 550D SG TMT Bars for its RCC and structural steel integration. The project faced challenges with sea air corrosion. Traditional fasteners used in earlier phases showed early rust patches, leading to instability in balcony handrails.
Switching to APL Apollo SG Anti-Rust Fasteners eliminated the problem. After 8 months, no corrosion signs were found, ensuring long-term durability and reducing maintenance costs.
This live scenario clearly demonstrates how the right choice of fastener can save lakhs in repair and provide confidence to project engineers and residents alike.
Key Benefits of Using Anti-Rust Fasteners in RCC Projects
Enhanced Joint Integrity: Maintains strong grip between TMT bars, beams, and anchors.- Longer Lifespan: Protects structural joints from premature failure due to rust.
- Ideal for Coastal & Rain-Heavy Regions: Perfect fit for projects in Mumbai, Chennai, Kerala, and Kolkata.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: No need for frequent tightening or replacement.
- Compatibility with APL Apollo SG TMT Bars: Ensures seamless structural alignment and support.
