product Hot-dip Zinc Coating on Structural Steel Bars for Concrete Reinforcement
certification BIS ISI Certification
Standard IS 12594: 1988
description Hot-dip zinc coating on structural steel bars for concrete reinforcement is a process that provides corrosion protection to steel reinforcement used in concrete structures. This coating involves immersing the steel bars in a bath of molten zinc, allowing the zinc to bond to the surface of the steel and form a protective layer. The hot-dip process ensures uniform coverage and adherence of the zinc coating, which acts as a barrier against corrosion by preventing moisture, oxygen, and other corrosive elements from reaching the steel substrate. This protective layer significantly extends the service life of the steel bars and enhances the durability and longevity of the concrete structures they reinforce. Hot-dip zinc coating is commonly used in construction projects where steel reinforcement is exposed to harsh environmental conditions, such as bridges, highways, buildings, and marine structures, providing long-lasting corrosion protection and structural integrity.
