WHAT IS SURFACE COATING?

Surface coating are referred as resurfacing materials and
toppings. Protective coatings can greatly reduce the

effect of deteriorate conditions, and significantly
improve the durability characteristics of the concrete. A
variety of coatings are available and some are tailored for
greater chemical resistance, while others are to resist
wear and erosion.
ESSENTIAL PARAMETERS FOR

COATINGS
Protective coatings over structural concrete should necessarily
possess following properties:
Posses excellent bond to substrate
Be durable with a long useful life normally 5 years.
Little or no colour change with time.
Little or no chalking.
Should have maximum permeability to allow water vapour
escape from concrete substrate.
Should have sufficient impermeability against the passage of
oxygen and carbon dioxide from air to concrete.
Should be available in a reasonable range of attractive
colours.
TYPES OF SURFACE COATINGS

The surface coating could be classified as :
Solvent based coatings
Solvent free coatings
Water borne coatings
Reinforced coatings (preferred for repairing Badly damaged
liquid Retaining structures)
SOLVENT

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
COATING TYPE
CHARACTERISTIC
Chlorinated rubber
coatings
Resistant to heat, sunlight and weather, moderately resistant to acids,

alkalis. Not recommended for immersed conditions. Adhesion to
concrete is good.
Acrylic coatings
Higher permeability, a life of three years may be possible
Polyurethane coatings Excellent UV resistances abrasion and cracking resistance, has high
elasticity and resistance to biological department.
Bitumen or tar
products
Provide excellent protection; however aesthetics is affected
Polyvinyl butyrol
Outstanding abrasion, resistance, toughness, flexibility, water and

heat resistance
Neoprene coatings
Excellent weather resistant
Coating for steel

bridges
Best performing low volatile organic compound with zinc rich

(organic and inorganic) primers
POLYESTER RESINS
First let us understand Resin Mortars:
For relatively smaller repair areas, cover less than 12mm
Resin Mortars are used.
In this case protection to steel reinforcement depends on
total impermeability.
Resin Mortar = Reactive Resin + Graded aggregate.
Commonly used Resins: Epoxy, Polyester, Acrylic.
These are Thermosetting Resins (they do not melt or flow
like thermoplastics when heated, but lose strength
gradually).
Resin mortars are supplied as 2/3 component systems:
Resin, Hardener & Filler.
WHAT IS POLYESTER RESINS ?

Polyester resins are unsaturated synthetic resins formed by
the reaction of dibasic organic acids and polyhydric alcohols.

Unsaturated polyester resin is a thermoset, capable of being
cured from a liquid or solid state when subject to the right
conditions.
There are two principle types of polyester resin used as
standard laminating systems in the composites industry.
Orthophthalic polyester resin is the standard economic resin
used by many people.
Isophthalic polyester resin is now becoming the preferred
material in industries such as marine where its superior water
resistance is desirable.
PROPERTIES OF POLYESTER
RESINS
Most polyester resins are viscous, pale coloured liquids
consisting of a solution of a polyester in a monomer which is

usually styrene.
Polyester resins can be moulded without the use of pressure
and are called 'contact' or 'low pressure' resins.
Polyester resins have a limited storage life as they will set or
'gel' on their own over a long period of time.
Polyester resin requires the addition of several ancillary
products like Catalyst, Accelerator & Additives .
Polyester resins contain volatile constituents which are
flammable.
PROPERTIES OF POLYESTER
RESINS
Polyesters offer ease of handling, low cost, dimensional
stability, as well as good mechanical, chemical-resistance and

electrical properties.
Polyester resins are the least expensive of the resin options,
providing the most economical way to incorporate resin,
filler and reinforcement.
