The construction industry comprises of all sectors of our infrastructure, including transportation, water/wastewater, residential and commercial building, utilities and a myriad of other sectors and industries.
Steel and concrete are the two most commonly used materials in construction. When not used in a structural capacity on its own, steel is used to internally reinforce all types of concrete structures, from roads and highways to buildings to large-diameter sanitary sewer and storm drainage pipes and culverts. Corrosion damage to reinforcing steel results in the build-up of voluminous corrosion products, generating internal stresses and subsequent cracking and spalling of the concrete structure.
Methods of corrosion prevention of rebars and other metallic components often include painting, galvanizing and epoxy coating. All three processes have physical/mechanical limitations that inhibit corrosion only for a fraction of the design lives of structures.
Chip, scratches and general abrasion of paint and epoxy coating immediately commences the corrosion process. Once this starts the rust can migrate under coating surfaces and then continue to creep along while remaining unseen. Rebar corrosion can be chloride-induced or through carbonation.
Until AquaArmor arrived it was expensive to solve this problem.
AquaArmor is a new solution. It's proven, Environment Friendly, and cost effective.
Not only is AquaArmor a corrosion and rust barrier, it's also a superb Primer for Paint and Adhesive Bonding and is far more effective than Galvanizing.
