Reinforcement
Reinforcement concrete is the backbone of any concrete structure, mostly steel is used as reinforcement everywhere, and concretes are strong in compression and weak in tension which is the reason steel bars are used as a reinforcement. Some of the small construction bamboo is used as reinforcement
What is Epoxy-Coated Reinforcement Steel?
The reinforcement steel will be coated with Epoxy resin. This coating will protect the steel reinforcement from moisture, chlorides, and other corrosive elements and reduce rust and degradation over time.
This type of reinforcement is commonly used in structures exposed to harsh environments, such as:
- Water treatment plants
- chemical plants
- Marine Structures
- Bridges and Highways
- Coastal Areas
- Industrial Facilities etc
Advantage of Epoxy Coating is Applied on Reinforcement Steel
- Protection from Corrosion
- Chemicals and Moisture resistance
- Increasing the durability
- Improved the Structural Integrity
- Protection from rust
- Reduce maintenance cost
Dis Advantage of Epoxy Coating is Applied on Reinforcement Steel
- Increasing initial cost
- Reducing the bonding strength
- coating damage chances more
- Workability challenges while lapping, cutting & Welding
- Handling & installation challenges
