| Résumé : |
You might be wondering why we coat concrete. After all, it feels like a pretty hard substrate. And, infact, when correctly engineered and constructed, concrete is one on the strongest construction materials available.
But even when it is mixed, poured, and allowed to hydrate (chmiecally combine with water) properly, concrete alone cannot withstand many exposure environments. Just as properly-applied coatings can help extend the service life of steel, they can also help extend the service life of concrete.
This bulletin will explain the basic make up of concrete, characteristics of uncoated concrete that make it particularly susceptible to attack in industrial structures, and three of the main mechanisms of concrete deterioration. |
