Role Of Construction Chemicals In Corrosion Protection

Role Of Construction Chemicals In Corrosion
Protection

• Most buildings collapse in the marine environment
  is due to corrosion of steel in the concrete due
  to the high humidity level around the location.
  Though the metal rods are under concrete cover,
  the chlorides are more powerful to penetrate
  through concrete blocks, attack the metal rods,
  and cause corrosion. For preventing this problem,
  there are many concrete corrosion chemicals
  available in the market.

• The rusting process is a chemical reaction that
  reacts with atmospheric oxygen and water
  molecules. In this reaction, the iron rod with
  water and oxygen will turn into reddish dust-like
  particles called rust or iron oxide. This same
  process will occur with the building rods in the
  marine environment. for preventing these types of
  corrosion and building distractions, some
  chemicals are mixed with the regular cement and
  used for construction.

Role of construction chemicals

• Most construction companies use chemicals to
  prevent corrosion in their buildings. Builders
  use some chemicals like BPCP-900 as paint for
  corrosion protection. This layer will go through
  the tiny pores of the wall and attach to the
  reinforced steel rods in it. This layer acts as a
  protection shield for that metal rod and prevents
  it from corrosion. It is the primary character of
  the construction chemicals used in construction.

• In this process, if any corrosion patch occurs,
  some chemical compounds like CEMWET BPCP-900 are
  added to the reinforced steel. This chemical
  layer will act as a protective layer before
  covering it again. Experts will test these
  chemical components with various live conditions
  and real-life scenarios. And provide a report of
  their performance about the conditions.

Details and abilities of the chemicals

• BPCP- 900 is one of the chemicals used by bulders
  for preventing concrete corrosion. This chemical
  will be in light brown also in the liquid form.
  This chemical component will have a PH value of
  about 9.5, which is the minimum scale, and there
  are many chemicals with more than this ph value.
  The specific gravity of this liquid will be 1.04
  at 27degree celsius. These are the details about
  the chemical component.

Builders mix this chemical along with water,
cement and sand for construction. For a cube
meter of concrete, 2 to 3 kg of this chemical is
essential. The primary work of this chemical is
to prevent corrosion in between concretes. These
products have other names as migrating corrosion
inhibitors, and Cortec-Me is the leading producer
in the middle east region.

Corrosion control

• By preventing corrosion, we can save many
  buildings and extend their lifespan in marine
  regions. The chemical components that control the
  rusting process will increase the steel rods
  stability and durability, and it will increase
  the total strength of the building. These are the
  advantages of corrosion control in buildings.
