The Development of Coating Systems Based on Alkali Activated Slag for Protecting Reinforced Concrete Structures

Theme of the article is the development of coating systems based on alkali activated stag intended for protection of reinforced concrete constructions exposed to chemically aggressive environments. At present mainly polymer based secondary protections are used for this purpose. The coating systems based on alkali activated slag have potential to surpass these generally applied types of secondary protections in many aspects. For instance for constructions exposed to synergic actuation of chemically aggressive environment and increased temperatures. Findings obtained from alkali activated slag coating exposed to selected aggressive environment types for six months are presented in this article.
