Eee eee itis a very user friendly system that can be applied at site. Since itis applied at site, any defects that occurs during handling or any other reason can be repaired at site itself. As compared to this some conventional systems are applied at the factory and there may be incompatibility in touch up due to the difference in materials usedat site and at the original application location © Itisasemi barrier coating and any corrosion thatinadvertently occurs, does notlead to undercutting. Most conventional systems are barrier type coatings which allow corrosion to spread deep inside the steel thereby weakening it considerably © Bond strength between steel and concrete is not affected as compared to conventional systems where bond strength decreases greatly thereby weakening the ‘structure, © Thesystem possesses rapid setting properties ensuring speed in processing ® Corrosion resistance is excellent. © Coatingis flexible and bars canbe bent after coating without risk of damage. © The overall systems compatible with concrete, @ Itismore cost effective than other coatings providing better value for money. Se eR atti The system consists of one coat of primer and one coat of sealer. Both these ‘Materials are based upon thermoplastic material which essentially means that the ‘Coating cures with the aid of solvent evaporation and hence cures faster as “hyated ‘coatings which cure by cross linking and hence take a much longer @ 1001: % Of solids: Minimum 45% eau 07 ot: re ids: Minimum 45%=. ! Corrosion in its varied formsis one primary objective of GTC, as an organization is era a delaying tis process with the aid of specialty coatings based on polyurethane etc. in. The of the most destructive force known to ma sdication of this phenomenon or rylics, epoxies n Commitment to excellence and customer's satisfaction and continuous innovatio has alwaysbeen the hallmark of GTC. Mild stee! used in construction in the form of reinforcement bar forms the backbone of many of the major structures existing today. Corrosion of steel leads to deterioration of concretean eventually the structure itself. Though there can be no substitute for good concrete, anticorrosive treatment to the cement steel enhances the life of the concrete to a great extent. Number of systems have been developed to date. However due to inherent problems in the syst ems as well as prohibitive costs, no system has gained wide acceptance as mucnes CPOC (CementPolymer Composite coating), developed by CECRI ‘This system is highly effective in preventing corrosion and can be applied gcrscec. the cas pplied at site ting actually improves bonding between steel and concrete as “proses to conventional systems that decrease the bond strength.

The surface is then, sand blasted to a near white metal finish. Dry graded silica sand is used for blasting, © Primer Application: Sidchiprime 1001 is applied to the reinforcement ata thickness of ‘50-75 microns. This coating is applied within 4 hours of sand biasting as sand blasted steel, if left exposed can corrode at a much faster rate as compared to steel that is not ee Dene of the primer can be done by spraying, brushing or dipping. | © Seatcoat Application: Sidahiseal 1002 's applied ater an interval not less than 30 minutes over siddhiprime 1001 at a thickness of 75-100 microns. The total thickness of the coating is 125-150 microns. ® Stacking: The coated rods can be handled after a minimum period of 6 hours. They are. then stacked neatly by using buffer material like jute, wood, rubber, sack etc, The bars. should not be placed on the ground nor must they come in contact with metal. The ‘number of layers must not exceed five. The rods are stored in a yard. Handling of the bbarsmustbe done carefully ® Patch Repair: if any bar is inadvertently damaged, patch repair is essential before the bar can be used, in this case, the damaged portion is first machanically cleaned Siddhiprime 1001 is applied by brush. Subsequently the seal coat is applied at a total thickness of approximately 150 microns,BSC Test Specification Bond strength in seven days cured M2 Concrete (BIS2770) 2. | Flexibility under mandrel test 3 | Thickness 50 + 25 ray test Impressed Voltage Test 6 | Resistance to sulphate 0,000 PPM 7_| Resistance to chloride 10,000 PPM 8 | She life of the coated bars 6 months 9 | Resistance to UV rays Not affected Abrasion Resistance (As per ASTM D 4060/84 Allowable 100 mgs.) | Weight loss 70 mgs 4 | Siress corrosion cracking test | (As per FIP 200 hours test in NH,CI Solution ) | Passes
