MONITORING PENETRATING SEALER PERFORMANCE ON CONCRETE . PROCEEDINGS OF 3RD INTERNATIOAL CONFERENCE ON DETERIORATION AND REPAIR OF REINFORCED CONCRETE IN THE ARABIAN GULF, BAHRAIN, OCTOBER 21-24 1989. VOLUME 1.
Penetrating sealers are being recognized to have potential to reduce water and chloride ingress into concrete. The corrosion problem involving reinforcing steel in concrete has been well documented, but how effective are sealers in lengthening this time to corrosion and what field tests can be done to determine this? This paper addresses both pre-monitoring (monitoring before actual application of the sealer) and post-monitoring (evaluating the performance during the expected life of the sealer into the future). It gives special reference to water and chloride ingress. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 828897.
