COATINGS
Concrete is faced each day with changing environmental conditions, chloride attack, carbon dioxide and other corrosive elements, leaving structures susceptible to deterioration and damage.
Once the concrete loses its protective properties, it is only a matter of time before corrosion becomes a major problem. Cracks and damages to the concrete expose the steel reinforcement of the structure to water, chlorides and other aggressive influences, leading to accelerated cracking and spalling of the concrete, threatening its long-term service life and structural integrity.
Coatings for surface protection, when applied, improve the durability of concrete, reinforced concrete, and steel in projects such as bridges, airports, hospitals and sewage treatment plants. Many of which may provide not only an effective protection to surrounding environments, but also a visually pleasing finish and colour.
Providing a barrier, protective coatings should be handled with care during application. Ahlia, an expert partner and applicator, is able to assist in the selection and application of the correct system for the job.
