Reinforcing concrete structures in coastal zones—such as Jeddah, Yanbu, Dammam, and Jubail—presents unique electrochemical challenges. High ambient humidity combined with highly saline air and soils accelerates steel oxidation.
The Role of Fusion-Bonded Epoxy (FBE)
FBE-coated steel reinforcing bars (rebar) are protected by a thin dielectric coating (usually 180 to 300 microns). This barrier prevents moisture, oxygen, and chloride ions from reaching the bare carbon steel, neutralizing corrosion and rust.
Why Choose SASO-Certified National Epoxy?
National epoxy rebars (SABIC-certified and top-tier local brands) undergo strict thermal coating processes. The adhesion properties are highly optimized to withstand Saudi’s hot desert temperatures. Using premium epoxy rebar increases structural lifespans by up to 50 years, preventing concrete spalling and micro-cracking in salt-heavy environments.
