Epoxy Rebar Coating

Epoxy Rebar Coating Manufacturer & Supplier

Epoxy coated rebar, which also goes by corrosion resistant rebar, is used to strengthen the concrete and protect against corrosion. It is an alternative to using conventional reinforcing bars. It works by applying the epoxy coating to the steel prior to shipping in order to ensure corrosion resistance. Epoxy-coated steel reinforcing bars (rebar) may be used in any concrete that is subjected to corrosive conditions. These can include exposure to deicing salts or marine waters.

Our Selection of Coatings

When you reach out, we can provide you with more information about epoxy rebar coating and our custom manufacturing capabilities. Once we have an understanding of what you need, we can recommend the perfect coating and provide you with a fair and accurate quote for the material.

About Epoxy Rebar Coating

When properly applied, epoxy coated rebar acts as a barrier system intended to prevent moisture and chlorides from eroding the surface of the reinforcing bar. On top of that, it is a coating that is used to provide additional protection in environments where reinforcements are subjected to accelerated corrosion. For many construction projects, the use of these bars is significantly increasing. This is due to the use of concrete becoming more diverse in corrosion-prone areas.

4 Things to Know About Epoxy-Coated Rebar

Properly using epoxy coatings provides optimum protection against abrasion, turbulence, corrosive fluids and extreme temperatures. Epoxy rebar coating is not only durable but also resistant to many corrosive substances and offers high-end corrosion resistance. This is especially important for marine structures.

Uses

Epoxy coated rebar or corrosion resistant rebar is utilized in the following structures:

  • Pavement
  • Repair work
  • Bridges
  • Parking structures
  • Marine structures

Epoxy Coated Rebar Manufacturing

The manufacturing process of epoxy coated rebars involves 4 important steps. These four steps are

  1. surface preparation
  2. induction preheating
  3. fusion with epoxy powder application
  4. curing

The entire coating operation involves moving the straight length of steel through the application process on a rapidly moving conveyor. Some specialized coating operation units may use a special hanger system. Here are the common steps for epoxy rebar coating:

  • Coating process starts with rebars positioned into shakeout table or fluidization bed, where it is spread out to a conveyor system.
  • A visually inspection of the steel for oil, grease and other contaminants.
  • The steel is then moved towards a blast cleaner for a full removal of the contaminants. Once complete, the steel is ready for proper coating.
  • Bars then pass through a powder spray booth, which is where spray nozzles embed a dry epoxy powder on the steel.
  • Electrostatic charges are then pushed into the powder particles resulting in a complete and even coating.
  • As dry powder heats the hot steel, it melts and flows into the peaks and valleys of the steel covering and conforming to the bars.
  • Following the application of the powder, the coating is allowed to cool for 30- 40 seconds.
  • The coating cures to a hardened state, which is where it develops most of its beneficial properties.
  • Then there is the curing period for it to cool off the bar and facilitate handling which leads to a quenching of the air or water.
  • The coated bars are then passed through a cooling tunnel after curing, which is where water is sprayed on the bars for cooling.
  • Finally, the bars are then transferred to the final inspection rack for testing and inspection.
