An effective barrier coating aims to minimize exposed surface area. A sacrificial layer requires a large exposed surface.to maintain long term protection of the substrate. This work is to investigate this synergy in order to elucidate the factors that have the greatest influence over the corrosion protection properties and failure modes of TSN.

The performance of coatings applied to cementitious building walls is a function of both the coating itself and the integrity of the building wall assembly.
Over the last 30 years clear coatings and sealers have gone from a secondary supporting role in the decorative concrete industry to a primary role with an established and defined market presence. This paper will discuss the history of clear coatings and sealers as they have evolved to meet the rapidly changing demands of the decorative concrete industry.
This paper will address the new requirements of the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code for the building envelope, which requires careful design to limit uncontrolled air leakage into and out of buildings.
Concrete and other cementitious surfaces are porous materials that will allow water and soluble contaminants to penetrate the structure leading to degradation. The effects of degradation can include efflorescence, laitance and physical defects such as cracking and spalling. Waterproofing concrete can protect it from freeze/thaw cycles, increase chemical resistance, and provide protection to imbedded reinforcing steel.
Humans have been building shelters since before recorded history. Throughout the ages mankind’s primary objective remains the same: to keep water out of the shelter. Water is the most aggressive combatant in the fight to protect our structures. Buildings leak for a variety of reasons.
