DESCRIPTION

Most construction companies use chemicals to prevent corrosion in their buildings. Builders use some chemicals like BPCP-900 as paint for corrosion protection. This layer acts as a protection shield for that metal rod and prevents it from corrosion. It is the primary character of the construction chemicals used in construction. By preventing corrosion in construction, we can save many buildings and extend their lifespan in marine regions. visit: https://cortec-me.com/protection-of-reinforced-concrete-structures/

Most buildings collapse in the marine environment is due to corrosion of

steel in the concrete due to the high humidity level around the location.

Though the metal rods are under concrete cover, the chlorides are more

powerful to penetrate through concrete blocks, attack the metal rods, and

cause corrosion. For preventing this problem, there are many concrete

corrosion chemicals available in the market.

The rusting process is a chemical reaction that reacts

with atmospheric oxygen and water molecules. In this

reaction, the iron rod with water and oxygen will turn

into reddish dust-like particles called rust or iron oxide.

This same process will occur with the building rods in

the marine environment. for preventing these types of

corrosion and building distractions, some chemicals are

mixed with the regular cement and used for

construction.

Most construction companies use chemicals to prevent corrosion in their buildings. Builders use some chemicals like BPCP-900 as paint for corrosion protection. This layer will go through the tiny pores of the wall and attach to the reinforced steel rods in it. This layer acts as a protection shield for that metal rod and prevents it from corrosion. It is the primary character of the construction chemicals used in construction.

In this process, if any corrosion patch occurs, some chemical compounds like

CEMWET BPCP-900 are added to the reinforced steel. This chemical layer will

act as a protective layer before covering it again. Experts will test these chemical components with various live conditions

and real-life scenarios. And provide a report of their performance about the

conditions.

Details and abilities of the chemicals

BPCP- 900 is one of the chemicals used by bulders for preventing concrete corrosion. This chemical will be in light brown also in the liquid form. This chemical component will have a PH value of about 9.5, which is the minimum scale, and there are many chemicals with more than this ph value. The specific gravity of this liquid will be 1.04 at 27degree celsius. These are the details about the chemical component.

Builders mix this chemical along with water, cement and sand for construction. For a cube meter of

concrete, 2 to 3 kg of this chemical is essential. The primary work of this chemical is to prevent corrosion in between concretes. These products have other names as migrating corrosion inhibitors, and Cortec-Me is the

leading producer in the middle east region.

Corrosion control

By preventing corrosion, we can save many buildings and extend their lifespan in marine regions. The chemical components that control the rusting process will increase the steel rod’s stability and durability, and it will increase the total strength of the building. These are the advantages of corrosion control in buildings.
