Protection for Concrete Structures in Agriculture
Concrete Protection and Repair for Future Value Enhancement
Protection against liquid/semi-liquid manure and biogenic sulphuric acid corrosion
For decades, concrete has been the construction material of choice for agricultural structures. Whether for fodder fermenting silos, slurry tanks, liquid manure cellars, dungwater/ urine channels, water reservoirs or biogas fermenters, concrete constructions fulfil prerequisites essential for commercial success in farming.
With continuous agricultural use, installed concrete is subjected to numerous types of both mechanical and chemical attack (e. g. caused by aggressive fermenting liquids). Such wear and tear can significantly reduce the durability of concrete, leading in extreme cases to the complete failure of an entire reinforced concrete structure. Cracks and leaks may also result in unnoticed groundwater contamination.
Surface coatings for reliable protection down to pH 0
The newly developed product system HCR offers comprehensive protection for your concrete structures. Capable of withstanding acid attack down to pH 0.
