Description

DAC-Anode® Overcoat is a single component, acrylic emulsion, water-based finish coat for use as a topcoat over DAC-Anode® WB Conductive Coating. Easy to apply and cleans up with soap and water. Dries quickly to a matte finish, has excellent flexibility and maintains colour when exposed to normal weathering and mild industrial environments. Easily re-coated after extended periods.

Inevitable

Aging concrete infrastructure and its degradation, is unfortunately accepted as inevitable across the modern world. Spalling and cracking of the concrete surface due to corrosion is common and while the financial impact of repairs is indeed staggering, the devastating societal impact of a failure should be foremost in the minds of owners and operators. Conventional repair techniques address only the symptoms of the problem (spalling and cracking), not the root cause (corrosion). This results in a spiraling repair/degradation cycle and when the root cause is finally addressed, conventional corrosion prevention systems prove to be costly and destructive to implement.

Proven

DAC-Anode® is the original non-destructive corrosion prevention solution for steel reinforced concrete. DACAnode® has decades of proven service throughout the world and provides existing structures with a new lease on life, at minimal cost to owners and operators. DAC-Anode® forms the anode component of a cathodic protection system, which is designed to distribute corrosion halting current to steel reinforcement. However, DAC-Anode® is unique because it comes as a single component coating rather than an expensive alloy mesh. This means that DAC-Anode® can be applied to the surface of the concrete, rather than needing to be embedded like legacy anode systems, saving time and money while still providing the same level of protection.
