Sprayable electrically conductive polymer concrete coatings
Abstract
A sprayable electrically conductive polymer concrete coating for vertical and overhead applications has been developed. The technology, in conjunction with impressed current cathodic protection, can be used to prevent corrosion of the embedded reinforcing steel in concrete girders, piers, columns, and beams. A formulation of an electrically conductive polymer concrete, which holds the conductive filler in suspension and can be sprayed in thin uniform coatings, was developed.
