Introduction

Epoxy anticorrosion powder coating for reinforcing steel bars is a thermosetting heavy-duty epoxy system developed for epoxy-coated rebar. Built from two-step special epoxy resin, partial functional epoxy and designed anticorrosion curing agents, it delivers high reactivity, strong adhesion, toughness and bendability, plus resistance to chemicals, solvents, cathodic disbondment and impact.

Product Features

  • Strong bond strength to the steel substrate.
  • Dense, continuous, smooth film with high penetration resistance and few defects.
  • Good baking heat resistance and high electrical insulation.
  • Strong film-to-concrete bond, giving excellent gripping force.
  • Tough — bends without cracking.
  • Low melting temperature, high reactivity and cure completion, good mechanicals.
  • Versatile, low powder consumption, reduces wire-drawing during rebar spraying.

Process & Storage

  • Surface preparation: fully remove mill scale to bare metal; Sa2½ (GB/T 8923), anchor profile 50–70 μm; surface free of chlorides and contaminants. Preheat 220–245°C. Applied by electrostatic spraying.
  • Storage: indoors, ventilated and dry, below 27°C, away from heat, corrosives and solvents; out of direct sun; stack no more than 4 layers; keep sealed.
  • Shelf life: high reactivity means a recommended 3-month storage at 27°C; retest performance before using beyond this period.

Application Areas

Corrosion protection of reinforced-steel structures in bridges, ports, airports, buildings, basements, high-speed rail and other infrastructure.

Practical note: epoxy-coated rebar only works when the film stays intact — every holiday, scratch or damaged spot from bending, bundling or site handling becomes a corrosion starting point, so bend with the correct mandrel, handle coated bars carefully, and touch up damaged areas before concrete is placed. Chloride exposure (de-icing salt, coastal splash) is the main reason rebar corrodes in concrete, which is why chloride penetration and cathodic disbondment are the numbers that matter, not just salt spray. Surface prep is the other half: chlorides left on the bar or a weak blast profile undercut adhesion regardless of powder quality.
