Why Enamel?

The glass layer limits the intrusion of
chlorides into the reinforcement by
making a protective layer
Enamel bonds directly with the steel
Concrete shrinkage is limited or non¬
existent

It is a known product, around for

centuries

Can be applied to virtually any kind of
metal substrate

PRO PERNIA ENGINEERED COATINGS
Innovative Coatings, Revolutionary Solution:

Initial Studies

ERDC began looking into enameling as a
way to increase strength and limit
corrosion

ERDC did preliminary data

Partnered with outside sources to bring

the technology forward

PPEC was an early proponent of this

technology providing samples

Why Joint Research?

• Gain access to brighter minds.

• Participate in the discovery of new or
novel ideas.

• Gain a different perspective of the
technology

• Make sure that the idea was a good

one.

Strength and Corrosion

Resistance

Our material will promote
bond strength with the
concrete interface (an
improvement of at least 3
times greater than
regular rebar) while also
inhibiting corrosion.

We use processes that
have been around
forever. Equipment
needed (but not
optimized) can be
bought today.

Issues

Research has shown that we must make a
more consistent glass layer on the part.
We need to modify our production to allow
some different methods of application
Manufacturing items:

1. Trying to get a certain % of active component

2. How to get the material into the matrix
efficiently

3. Optimizing the glass layer

Current Work

PPEC has placed rebar at Corpus
Christi

We have other projects through the
Corps

Missouri has committed to doing a
bridge at the conclusion of our
research

We are not a new technology, but rather a
hybrid.

We have a technology that has been
transitioned, is going through applied
research, and in the demonstration phase
The technology can be sold
commercially and needs to be optimized
