Protective coatings refer to many chemicals and material that
are used to protect the concrete structure from being eroded through chemical
reaction of water, brine or any other. Concrete structures are generally
regarded as tough and resilient material that can stand by high degree of
erosion and weathering. However the fundamental problem that weakens the
resilience and durability of concrete is the pores that are present in the
structure of concrete. These pores make concrete liable to chemical weathering
through water and other chemicals. If the foundation of any concrete structure
is exposed to water for long, it can produce disastrous effects for the
strength and life of structure; making entire structure liable to collapse.
In order to overcome such destructive atrocity, protective
coatings are widely used in construction industry to protect concrete structure
from water. There are different protective coatings that are available in
market which can be used in accordance to the level of deterioration that has
occurred. Many times a fusion of these protective coatings are used by constructor
to make sure the durability and strength of concrete is restored and the
structure is never liable to collapse.
