Anti-Carbonation Protective Coatings

Carbonation of reinforced concrete is one of the most common forms of deterioration in civil engineering and infrastructure. Carbonation is a natural process and is virtually impossible to avoid in unprotected concrete as the process begins as soon as concrete is exposed to the elements. Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere reacts with the concrete, leading to a loss of alkalinity and subsequent corrosion of the reinforcing steel. The structural integrity of buildings and infrastructure can therefore become severely compromised so it is critical to specify anti-carbonation coatings in order to avoid expensive repair and maintenance work in the future.
