POWER-COLLOID TUNNEL COATINGS

Dirt, dust, exhaust gases, wear material, salt, moisture, and frost damage insufficiently protected concrete surfaces in tunnels and underpasses and make carbonatation unstoppable.
The fouled surfaces also require brighter lighting at higher costs to maintain traffic safety inside the building structure.
Today, the restoration and preservation of these structures are a substantial and expensive cost factor for the community.

A long-life, white or bright POWER-COLLOID coating durably protects the concrete, is easy to clean and saves a lot of energy as well as renovation costs. A high-pressure or low-pressure coating can be specified and applied to deal with specific levels of fouling.
Offering a wide range of different photocatalytic and antibacterial properties, POWER-COLLOID reduces the environmental pollution just where it arises. It provides:

  • lasting corrosion protection against moisture and water under pressure
    (DIN 1048 T5)
  • lasting resistance to dew and salt water
    (DIN EN 1340)
  • high pressure and bending tensile strength as specified in
    DIN EN 13892-2
  • high resistance against wear due to rubbing
  • carbonatation protection (0.00 mm depth of penetration)
  • high CO2 resistance
  • high resistance against mechanical effects
  • high adhesive strength
  • additional fire protection properties
  • choice of colours based on iron oxide pigments
