With the rapid advancement of global ecosystems, it is becoming increasingly difficult and costly to build with materials that degrade and rust over time.

Most concrete infrastructures are reinforced with steel for tensile purposes. It is an undeniable fact however, that steel always rusts with time; and herein lies the problem.

As a result of the traditional way buildings, roads, bridges and tunnels have been constructed, they will be crumbling at a much faster rate than they can be repaired.

We see this happening to the world's largest infrastructures, and we know it will eventually hit us when our buildings and infrastructure become old enough.

It is for this reason that steel rebar reinforcement is no longer the preferred option.

Repair of concrete infrastructure costs billions of dollars annually for both public and private projects.

Is there a way to solve this problem?

Arab Basalt Fiber Company is the first facility of its kind in the region, capable of making the widely recognized fiber reinforced polymer composite rebar.

Basalt Fiber Rebar (BFR) is a reinforcement product which is produced from naturally occurring green volcanic lava rock such as Basalt, Gabbro, and Diorite. The lava rocks are heated at high temperatures to produce Continuous Basalt Fiber. Through a pultrusion process, the fibers are twisted, wound and treated with a polymer to produce the reinforcement bars.

Because Fujairah possesses huge basalt reserves in the UAE, Arab Basalt Fiber Company has chosen to build thi production facility there, using Basalt as the main raw material to manufacture the Basalt Fiber Rebar.

Basalt Fiber Rebar offers a non-rusting alternative to traditional steel and can extend the life cycle of all concrete infrastructures.

We recognize the Basalt Fiber Rebar as the best truly renewable alternative to steel rebar.

In a world that needs sustainability now more than ever, it makes no sense to reinforce concrete with steel where moisture is present.

In the past, rebar made from common white fiberglass has been used as a popular substitute for steel because it is a stronger, non-rusting alternative.
In contrast, Glass Fiber Reinforced Rebar is quite expensive and it’s made with a manmade recipe that consists of ten to fifteen ingredients, all of which are produced using industrial chemistry.

Arab Basalt Fiber Company envisions a world where all concrete is strengthened with basalt fiber reinforced polymer composites.

Basalt fiber rebar is made of only one natural raw material, volcanic basalt rock.

Due to its simplicity and abundance of its renewable raw materials, Basalt Fiber Rebar is the best alternative to steel for structural reinforcement in terms of cost and value.

Basalt covers 70% of the Earth's surface
It has been determined that basalt fiber rebar is 2.5 times stronger than steel and weighs a fourth as much as steel.

It can never rust, and has a carbon footprint of "one tenth" that of Glass Fiber Reinforced Rebar.

Rock rebar meets all key requirements outlined in the AC 454 document for the 2016 edition.

The codebook specifically mentions that Basalt Fiber Rebar can be substituted for steel reinforcement interchangeably.

For the entire rock rebar industry, this was a significant step which led to the large market opening that we see today.

Government laws always drive a growing interest in green and sustainable solutions.

In the United States, the Imagine Act emphasizes the use of green, sustainable alternative building materials for sustaining infrastructure investments.

Due to the current market demand for steel rebar, Arab Basalt Fiber Company has a significant opportunity to supply its non-rusting BFR alternatives to replace thousands of tons of steel bars used for concrete reinforcement.

We envision a world in which all upcoming construction and repairs are built using non-toxic materials such as basalt, a naturally occurring, self-sustaining and renewable mineral.

Be a part of our solid, tangible vision for a better future.
