Rebar Overview

Infrastructure
Protection
That Lasts

Corrosion of reinforcing steel is one of the leading causes of premature concrete structure failure. In coastal, marine, and de-icing salt environments, chloride penetration can initiate rebar corrosion within years of construction, leading to spalling, cracking, and structural deterioration.

IFS PureFlex FBE powder coatings provide a proven, cost-effective solution: a tough barrier that dramatically extends the service life of the structure, applied at speed on continuous hot-dip coating lines.

01

Exceptional Corrosion Protection

Reinforcing steel embedded in concrete is vulnerable to chloride penetration, especially in marine, coastal, and de-icing salt environments. IFS epoxy and hybrid powders form an impermeable barrier that dramatically extends the service life of reinforced structures.

02

Bond-Compatible With Concrete

A rebar coating that reduces grip defeats its purpose. IFS rebar powders are engineered to maintain the mechanical bond between coated steel and surrounding concrete.

03

Flexible Enough to Survive Bending

Coated rebar must be bent without cracking or delaminating. IFS formulations combine film flexibility with high hardness so the coating remains intact even at tight-radius bends on heavy-gauge bar.

04

Meets & Exceeds Industry Standards

IFS PureFlex FBE meets and exceeds the performance requirements of ASTM 775/A775M, ASTM 1078, ASTM 1124, AASHTO M284, and AASHTO M254. This includes corrosion, chemical, mechanical and physical testing.
