So What is Concrete Cancer in Buildings?

So What is Concrete Cancer in Buildings?

What is concrete cancer? So what is concrete cancer? Freshly poured concrete is a mix is of a highly alkaline nature. The alkalinity helps prevents and protects the rebar steel from corrosion. This is what is concrete cancer. Concrete cancer, over time, develops since the highly alkaline nature of concrete is reduced through water ingress through 2 main processes. carbonation is due to the presence of carbon dioxide in water forming a weak acid which reduces the alkalinity of the […]

Duplex Corrosion Coating System

Duplex Corrosion Coating System

Duplex Corrosion Coating System: How it Works. How it’s Applied. Shivananda Prabhu | August 30, 2018 For a severely corrosive environment, the duplex corrosion coating system ensures an extended productive life for iron and steel assets, along with an extended maintenance cycle. Two corrosion protection methods are better than one. That’s the theory behind duplex protective coating systems, which combine the proven protection of galvanization with the benefits of an additional corrosion protection system, such as polymeric powder coating. Using two coatings, one above the other, can […]
