VpCI-386,Water-based barrier coating for concrete 

PROBLEM

The chemical manufacturer had just completed an expansion, Phase 3, to their existing plant using masonry and precast concrete panels. The existing building was experiencing signs of weathering and rust stains had started to show on some precast panels where the rebars had insufficient concrete coverage. The problem was how to inhibit the corrosion, protect the building and tie the existing building and new addition together to be esthetically pleasing structure. 

APPLICATION

The entire structure was pressure washed to remove any dirt and dust. A 2­coat application of custom mixed colors (grey, tan, green, and blue) of VpCI-386 was applied using an airless sprayer. VpCI-386 was chosen because it is an environmentally friendly water-based coating that provides superior outdoor protection, corrosion inhibiting properties, ease of applica­tion and quick clean-up.
