The Process of Carbonation
Carbonation of reinforced concrete is one of the most common forms of deterioration in buildings and infrastructure. Untreated masonry is also highly vulnerable to the damaging ingress of water and freeze/thaw cycling.
Carbonation is a natural process and is virtually impossible to avoid in unprotected concrete as the process begins as soon as concrete is exposed to the elements. Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere reacts with the concrete, leading to a loss of alkalinity and subsequent corrosion of the reinforcing steel. Structural integrity can therefore become severely compromised so it is critical for anti-carbonation coating for protection of both new and existing structures.
Such products can ensure that buildings remain visually attractive throughout their lifespan and avoid costly and disruptive repair and maintenance works

Anti-Corrosive Coatings
Corrosion Impact
Corrosion reduces the useful life of assets in almost all industries and is one of the main causes of high maintenance costs. In our core business, Protective Coatings and General Industries, we have to deal with corrosion on a serious note. In order to offer our customers first-class service packages from a single source, we can also take care of protecting your plant and machinery against corrosion with our own team or with the support of our dependable and certified partners
Application Process
Developed various technical solutions to protect plant and buildings against corrosion, extend their useful life and make their operations more cost-effective. It all begins with the exact analysis of the media and materials that encourage corrosion. In the next stage a suitable coating system is defined and the surface correctly prepared to receive the coating. Then an anti-corrosive coating is applied in several layers to provide durable surface protection
Three Layers
With the anti-corrosive coating the surfaces are protected for a long time against corrosion by rain, water, condensation or chemical compounds, depending on the area of application. The protective coating is generally built up of three layers;
1- Foundation or Primer Coat: Zinc-based primers and undercoats with active corrosion protection ensures optimal adhesion on a properly prepared surface and constitutes the primary corrosion protection;
2- The Second Coating: Epoxy with barrier pigmentation reduces the diffusion of corrosive compounds and increase the mechanical resistance of the coating;
3- The Covering Layer: UV-resistant Polyurethane coating forms the final wrapping, determines the coloring and provides effective protection against wind and weather
Areas of Application
The areas of application for anti-corrosive coatings are many and varied. Here are some examples:
- Oil and Gas Industry
- Power Plants and other energy utilities
- Bridges and other structures subject to severe mechanical stains and weather conditions
- Cellulose mills and companies in the paper and timber industries
- Fish factories and other food businesses
- Offshore facilities (including maintenance services)

Weatherproof & Anti-Dust Coatings
Add Value To Your Property
Wall paints will not just extend the life of the walls, but also give your house and property's exterior a beautiful and fresh appearance. A fresh coat of wall paints adds value to your property, making it attractive. However, in the Middle East and notably the Arabian Peninsula, where infrastructure developments are at a significant pace, one needs to take great care while painting exterior walls.
Areas exposed to construction sites, harsh weather conditions and pollution are exposed to layers of dust and moisture. The dust and moisture deposition on walls have devastating effects on the surface, causing stains and black stripe marks, which results in loss of lustre and appear shabby in no time.
