United Corrosion Technologies (UCT) has launched a new range of products that safeguard against the corrosion of exposed steel rebar.

A number of projects in the region are currently on-hold, or progressing at reduced pace, leaving rebar exposed to the elements.

Steel reinforcement corrodes rapidly when exposed for prolonged periods making protection and preservation vital, the company said in a statement.

The new range, manufactured by Cortec Corporation, prevents flash rusting and gives protection to exposed rebar for up to five years, UCT said.

“The launch of our new range of products for the preservation of exposed rebar could not be more timely,” said Usama Jacir, managing director of UCT.

““The severe atmospheric conditions of the Gulf region make effective preservation of exposed rebar absolutely necessary if the structural integrity of on-hold or slow-moving construction is to be ensured.”

Products include waterborne preservative, plastic film covers and water-based rust converters.

UCT’s services and products have been used on in many projects throughout the Middle East, including the Burj Dubai.
