Sulfate and acid resistance of lithomarge-based geopolymer mortars (2018, background): “The problem of chemical attack may be addressed by applying layers of sealants or coatings on the concrete surface, or creating a physical barrier between concrete and the aggressive environment via protective overlays [13-15].”
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].”
Hydrophobic concrete using waste paper sludge ash (2015, background): “[34] evaluated ten commercial surface coatings that consisted of acrylic, polymer emulsion, epoxy resin, polyurethane and chlorinated rubber coatings.”
