The Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute is distributing a free CD that offers data and guidance on the use of epoxy- coated reinforcing bar. Schaumburg, Ill.-based CRSI developed the CD for ...

Epoxy coated rebar or corrosion resistant rebar is used instead of conventional reinforcing bars to strengthen the concrete and protect against corrosion. The epoxy coating is applied in a factory to the steel prior to shipping to ensure corrosion resistance.

This document contains information on the inspection of epoxy-coated reinforcing steel and should be used to supplement state or other agency requirements for epoxy-coated reinforcement.

Epoxy coated to resist corrosion Concrete reinforcing bars are designed to provide the strongest possible mechanical bond between steel and concrete. They are furnished in straight lengths They may be bent or fabricated to special engineering requirements.

Produced by the Epoxy Interest Group (EIG) of the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) Schaumburg, IL, a new 4-page brochure highlights the ASTM Specifications for coating, fabricating and ...

Epoxy coated rebar provides an economical solution for corrosion resistance and extended service life over standard steel rebar, and is available in A615 and A706 grades.

Epoxy coatings are used to isolate the steel from contact with oxygen, moisture, and chloride, thus preventing corrosion. Some concerns, however, have been expressed as to the cost-effectiveness of epoxy-coated reinforcement in preventing corrosion.
