Silane

"Silane Impregnation" is the treatment process adopted by the Highways Agency to protect Reinforced Concrete as predominantly used for Bridges, Retaining Walls and Structures .

The process involves the application of isobutylltrimethoxy alkyl-silane solution by low pressure spray onto the surfaces of cement based building materials.

The process does not alter the visual appearance of the treated area once dry.

Fastglobe have a vast experience of the process and have been involved with the treatment from the outset in the UK through our FGM subsidary.

The main objective of the application is to avoid the possibility of de-icing salt that has been disolved within water from entering the concrete to cause the steelwork to corrode.

We have been working with Remmers UK who manufacture the envioronmentally friendly Funcosil IC [Impregnation Cream] and have several installations of the product within the UK which we see as a major development within the Industry as Health & Safety issues with the traditional formulation of Silane is a major concern..

* We now are able to offer Water Based products, approved by the Highways Agency which are totally envioronmentally and application friendly all of which achieve the performance criteria of traditional Silanes*.
