Raising the Reinforcing Bar: Introducing Textured Epoxy Coating

A new approach to coating steel reinforcing bar has the potential to change a core aspect of concrete bridge construction. Known as Textured Epoxy Coating (TEC), this novel technology is the subject of a newly approved specification: ASTM A1124, Standard Specification for Textured Epoxy-Coated Steel Reinforcing Bars.  

Find out how this two-step, fusion bonded, textured epoxy powder-coating helps improve both corrosion resistance and damage tolerance, while increasing bond strength to concrete.
