This Self-Healing Coating uses chemical-filled microcapsules that heal the steel concrete as it corrodes.

About

The Self-Healing Coating does not compromise the interfacial bond between reinforcement and concrete. Preliminary accelerated corrosion testing indicates that corrosion is reduced and the life of the structural concrete is increased by at least 300% when compared to rebar with conventional coatings

Key Benefits

The first of its kind to be applied to rebar that actively combats corrosion inside structural concrete.

Applications

Any concrete structures with rebar.
