🌧 Entering the winter rains... And if you have exposed reinforcement bars left unprotected, this is the most dangerous time you could go through! Rain + air = rust... and rust causes iron expansion and eventually separates it from concrete over time. That's why you must protect the rebar before the first drop of rain 👇 1. Clean the steel thoroughly with a wire brush until it returns to its natural color. 2. Remove any dust or deposits and let it dry completely. 3. Use the two strongest protective materials: Sika Zinc Rich – Sika Zinc Rich A zinc-rich protective layer... prevents rust before it starts. Kemapoxy 131 – Kemapoxy 131 High-strength epoxy insulation... completely blocks water and air from reaching the steel. 4. Apply a proper coating and let it dry... thus, you completely shut the door on rust. Final advice: Don't wait for problems to occur... protecting your rebar now is a million times cheaper than repairing rust damage later.
