Epoxy coatings

Concrete often considered as the most reliable and durable material for any construction purpose has its own limitations and drawbacks. The most common and fatal limitation of concrete as a construction material is hidden in its structure i-e the interstial pores present in the basic structure of concrete. Moreover, the interconnection of these pores made concrete structure permeable and liable towards chemical attacks. 

Even though a resilient material, concrete structures often undergo severe corrosion and cracking via actions of water and different chemicals such and sodium chloride. These cracks and opening has to be filled in quickly in order to save structure from further detoriation and corrosion. Different sealants are used to fill in the pore spaces in the concrete structure. These sealants act as an isolating medium, forming a layer on the boundary of concrete preventing its pores to be attacked by different chemicals. Epoxy coatings are one of the many sealants that are used for isolation and remedial material for any concrete structure that has undergone severe corrosion. Epoxy coating is considered as the most vigilant and resistant coating that forms a coating at the outer boundary of concrete preventing it from any further attacks of water or other chemicals.
