The anti carbonation coating provides shelter to the steel from corrosion, which takes place due to carbonation reaction because of the carbon dioxide released from vehicles. In the longer run, this proves to be cost effective as it reduces cost on maintenance. Since there is an availability of many different colors in these coatings, an additional decorative and beautification effect is also achieved.

Beautification Advantages – Environmental Friendly Paints and Coatings

How Anti Carbonation Coating Works...

To keep water out of the building or structure, and create a protective envelope for the concrete surface.

Coatings need to let the concrete allow water vapor to pass from the structure and through the concrete without building up vapor pressure.

It should have to have additional elasticity (the ability to elongate and recover) and crack-bridging properties, particularly at low temperatures when coatings become more rigid and the cracks wider.

Different Textures, Different Surfaces: Choosing the Right Coating

The coatings are also available in many types of textures, ranging from smooth to course, which also add to the aesthetics of the building while helping to hide any imperfections in the concrete substrate.

In this day and age, construction of concrete coatings is much more than just paint. As mentioned through the article the coatings have to perform varieties of functions right from protecting to making the constructed product look good. With plenty of products and chemistries available in the market today, primarily understanding the benefits and limitations of each type of product for each specific application is critical to ensure a successful application.
