MARKET TRENDS Restoration and Protection are the two important aspects of concrete structure operation and maintenance. Aging infrastructure warrants increased importance of rehabilitation. SURTREAT TPS offers structure life extension in addition to repair quality improvement.
THE BENEFITS OF SURTREAT Increase concrete strength, hardness Inhibit reinforcing steel corrosion Resist attack and penetration by acids, salts and other aggressive chemical solutions Extract chlorides and pacify chloride activity Pacify alkali-aggregate reaction Re-alkalize buffer pH
CHEMICAL ASPECTS OF CONCRETE DETERIORATION AND REPAIR Hardened concrete is chemically formed – curing/hydration. Concrete deteriorates largely through chemical means – carbonation/loss of pH, addition of aggressive and hostile chemicals through infiltration and breakdown of the cement bonds associated with aging, etc. Solution based approach to structure restoration must include chemistry as the remedy for the underlying causes of structure deterioration.
DETERIORATION CAUSE AND SERVICE LIFE EXTENTION By addressing the cause of the deterioration (chemical breakdown) symptoms of the deterioration (physical breakdown) are prevented. Comprehensive approach to structure restoration having structure service life extension as its final goal must address cause as part of the structure repair process.
COMMON DETERIORATION CAUSES CORROSIONOF REINFORCEMENT
CORROSION IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF STRUCTURE DETERIOATION AND CAUSES OF CORROSION Oxygen and hydroxide ions (air and water) combine to facilitate the chemical reaction. Additionally corrosion is often promoted by the drop in concrete pH and chemical contamination such as chloride contamination – corrosive environment.
CAUSES OF STRUCTURE DETERIORATION SUMMARY Corrosion of steel reinforcement is the most common cause of structure deterioration. Corrosion of steel reinforcement is caused by air and water penetration in the presence of chlorides and/or low pH. These underlying causes of the deterioration must be addressed to maximize rehabilitation effectiveness.
THE SURTREAT METHOD The SURTREAT method is comprehensive. Direct anodic/cathodic site inhibition Corrosion sites are inhibited by the reestablishment/formation of a passive film and insulation following vapor phase and liquid ion migration to the rebar level. Environment modification Corrosive concrete environment is pacified by re-alkalization and complexing of chlorides following liquid ion migration. As an added benefit porosity reduction increases resistivity and restricts air and water penetration.
SURTREAT TPS BASIC COMPONENTS Organic vapor phase corrosion inhibitor is both a cathode and anode site inhibitor in that it will form a thin film on the rebar to inhibit contact with air and moisture and also complex with primary oxide at the anodic sites.
THE COMPREHENSIVE SURTREAT METHOD SUMMARY Inhibit corrosion by: Direct contact insulation, formation of a passive film on the surface of the imbedded reinforcement. Re-alkalization, addition of the alkali cations to the areas of low pH Complexing water-soluble chlorides, conversion to non-water-soluble, solid and immobile state. Porosity reduction restricting air and water penetration and increasing electrical resistivity of concrete.
