Epoxy-coated rebar is widely used in reinforced concrete structures – especially in environments where corrosion is a concern. Common applications for epoxy-coated rebar include construction projects like bridges and highways, parking structures, marine applications and others.

Epoxy coated rebar or corrosion resistant rebar is used instead of conventional reinforcing bars to strengthen the concrete and protect against corrosion. The epoxy coating is applied in a factory to the steel prior to shipping to ensure corrosion resistance.

Epoxy coatings are used to isolate the steel from contact with oxygen, moisture, and chloride, thus preventing corrosion. Some concerns, however, have been expressed as to the cost-effectiveness of epoxy-coated reinforcement in preventing corrosion.

2015年9月10日 · Epoxy-coated rebar is manufactured in CRSI certified plants under strict controls for cleaning, pre-heating, electro-powder coating and curing processes. Bars are cleaned by grit blasting to remove all mill scale and oxidation and then electro-induction heated to around 450 F.

The application of a Textured Epoxy Coating (TEC) over Epoxy-Coated Rebar (ECR) enhances protection of rebar and promotes the longevity of assets. The secondary coating boosts bond strength, enhances corrosion resistance and improves damage tolerance.

2021年2月18日 · Epoxy Coated Rebar is used to provide additional protection in environments where reinforcements are subjected to accelerated corrosion. The use of these bars is significantly increasing as the concrete use is becoming more diverse in corrosion-prone areas.

2019年2月12日 · Epoxy-coated rebar prevents corrosion and the problems that it causes. Manufacturers cover the entire bar of rebar in a coating of epoxy. This water-impermeable layer minimizes the chances that corrosion will take hold of the rebar.

2024年4月5日 · Epoxy coating is a protective layer applied to reinforcement bars, typically made from steel. Composed of epoxy resin and a hardening agent, this coating forms a resilient barrier against corrosion, moisture, and chemical degradation.

Epoxy-coated rebar, often referred to as “Green Bar,” is a specialized type of reinforcing steel designed to provide exceptional corrosion resistance in environments exposed to harsh conditions, such as salt water or de-icing agents.

For 40+ years, Epoxy-Coated Steel Rebar combats corrosion in marine structures, proving its efficacy in reducing damage to concrete reinforcement. Epoxy-Coated Steel Reinforcing Bars (rebar) may be used in continuously reinforced concrete pavements (CRCP). Epoxy-coated dowel bars are frequently used in jointed pavements.
