Every day, each concrete structure is facing challenging environmental conditions, chloride attack, harsh elements and chemicals, leaving the structure vulnerable to damage and corrosion.
When the concrete structure loses its protective properties, it is only a matter of time before deterioration becomes a major problem. Crashes and other damages due to corrosion and deterioration may expose the structure to water, chlorides and other harsh chemicals, leading to accelerated cracking which usually leads to a shorter service life and compromises structural integrity. Therefore, to protect any concrete structure is vital. Two of the most effective concrete protection is choosing the right protective coating and the best waterproofing solution.
Waterproofing Solution
Concrete is porous. If it is not waterproof, it absorbs water, waterborne contaminants and chemicals that can cause deterioration. Chemical manufacturers in UAE suggest that if you want to protect your concrete structure and make sure that it has a long-term working life, waterproofing is necessary. The following are the benefits of concrete waterproofing:
- Rises property value
- Prevent structural damages
- Strengthen any concrete structure
- Increases the lifespan of concrete
- Avoids mold and mildew from getting into the floor and walls
- Maintenance cost is reduced when correct waterproofing application is carried out
- Unpleasant and costly mold growth is avoided by keeping unwanted moisture out.
Protective Coating
Protective coating is one of the most effective ways to protect any concrete construction. Most used protective coatings include polymer, epoxy, and resinous coatings. Integrating the right coating can give you lasting, cost-effective protection to any concrete construction. The following are some of the key benefits of protective coatings:
- Extremely good adhesion
- Excellent resistance to atmospheric exposure
- Resistance to the penetration of corrosive substances
- Protective coatings help the concrete to withstand a lot of pressure and can resist moisture
- Helps in preventing corrosion by creating a layer between the surface and outside elements that often cause corrosion to the structure.
Any kind of coating and waterproofing solution must be applied correctly according a manufacturer’s instruction. It is imperative to hire a qualified person who is skilled and trained in applying these types of protection in order to get the maximum benefit of each product.
