Corrosion Resistance of Rubber Concretes

ABSTRACT

Chemical resistance of the new polymer concrete with polybutadiene binder (RubCon) was investigated. Some important problems of corrosion environment attack based on experiments were discussed. Mechanism of relationship between organic and inorganic aggressive medium and RubCon was analyzed. Influence of elevated temperature and corrosive environment exposition was revealed. Forecast of RubCon chemical resistant coefficient was done. Application of special activating agents e.g. altax and sulfur + tiuram- D, TiO₂, BaSO₄ has a beneficial effect on chemical resistance of RubCon. Chemical resistance of RubCon is many times higher than ordinary Portland cement concrete and surpasses of chemical resistance of polyester, polyepoxy and vinyl ester polymer concrete.
