Redox Active Polymer Encapsulated Lamellar (REL) Compound Based Anticorrosive Coating for Reinforcement Bars
Implementing Organization
Project Overview
The anticorrosive coating system containing REL compound offers excellent corrosion protection of steel embedded in concrete.
Anticorrosive coating system containing REL compound repassivates the exposed steel rebar surface at pin holes and arrests the corrosion of steel rebars at these locations due to its redox property.
The anticorrosive coating system containing REL compound replaces the conventional toxic pigment based coatings.
The anticorrosive coating with REL compound resists the permeation of very high concentration of Technology Demonstration% NaCl even under accelerated condition.
The RCC specimens embedded with this newly developed anticorrosive coated rebar withstand more than 1Technology Demonstration50 hours for initiation of crack even under accelerated test condition.
