Epoxy coated rebar, also called green rebar, is used in concrete subjected to corrosive conditions. These may include exposure to deicing salts or marine environments. Epoxy coated rebar or corrosion-resistant rebar is utilized in the following structures:
Bridges
Parking structures
Pavement
Marine structures
Repair work
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. Epoxy-coated steel reinforcing bars (rebar) may be used in any concrete subjected to corrosive conditions. These may include exposure to deicing salts or marine waters.
