Influence of silane-based water repellent on the durability properties of recycled aggregate concrete (2013, unknown): “This surface silane treatment can suppress significantly capillary water absorption and therefore improve the durability of concrete and protect the interior steel reinforcement [27–29].”
Potential application of geopolymers as protection coatings for marine concrete I. Basic properties (2010, background): “According to different anticorrosion mechanisms, three types of concrete protection materials have already been used: coating, pore blocker and pore liner (Medeiros and Helene, 2009).”
Hydrophobic concrete using waste paper sludge ash (2015, background): “Medeiros and Helene [35] tested six commercial surface treatments includingwater repellents (silane/siloxane), acrylic, polyurethane coating and double systems (water repellent + acrylic coating).”
Properties and durability of HPC with tyre rubber wastes (2012, background): “Some authors even report the use of surface treatments to achieve concrete surfaces with similar capillary water absorption coefficients [19].”
Effect of polymer modified cementitious coatings on water and chloride permeability in concrete (2013, background): “Higher is the polymer content higher is the adhesion on concrete and the physical barrier effect [4,6,8,11–17].”
