COATING-OF-STEEL-REINFORCEMENT/#RESPOND)

Corrosion of steel reinforcement drastically decreases the strength of the RCC members. Weak RCC members weaken the
building.

Epoxy coating is an e cient way to prevent corrosion of steel reinforcement. One of the best type of epoxy I suggest is Coal
Tar Epoxy coating.

What is Epoxy Coating?

Epoxy is a type of synthetic material that is applied on the surface of the steel to prevents the surface of the steel to come
in contact with corrosive agents like moisture, chemicals etc. and also provide a certain degree of scratch resistance

Some manufacturers like PSL and IN TMT supplies precoated epoxy steel reinforcement to their customers and to the
markets.

Though epoxy method is widely used around the world it still has some drawbacks.
1. Steel cutting process and improper handling of steel may damage the epoxy coating and creates anode and cathode
zones within the steel reinforcement and causes corrosion.
2. Epoxy coating may decrease the bond between steel and concrete.

New Anti-Corrosive Coal Tar Based Epoxy Coating

Newly introduced Anti-corrosive coal tar epoxy coating combats the above drawbacks e ciently and gives us cost-e ective,
eco-friendly results.

Some of the advantages of the newly introduced tar-based epoxy area…

1. They are brush type coatings or airless spray coatings hence they are easy to apply.
2. They don’t require a high temperature for curing.
3. They can be applied after placing of the bars or after cutting of bars.
4. They increase the bond between steel rebar and concrete.
5. They are cost-e ective and eco friendly
6. They are suitable for all type of bars, steel grills, steel tanks and other steel varieties.
