Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coated Rebar’s (FBECR)
Epoxy Coated Rebar Specifications:
FBE coating on reinforcement bars has the following advantages.
 Since the coating is done on the coating lines, better quality control is achieved.
The process Gives uniform coating thickness.
 There is good bonding of coating with the steel as FBE has very good adhesive
properties.
 Because of flexibility, the coating does not get damaged when the straight bar is
bent during Fabrication on a special mandrill.
 FBE coating acts as insulator for electro chemical cells and offer barrier protection
to steel, which prevents chloride ions through it.
 There are well established criteria for acceptance for FBE coating in different
standards.
 FBE coated reinforcement bars provide the most effective corrosion protection to
the reinforcement bars.
 Size range from 8mm t 40mm diameter

TESTING FACILITIES
6. testinG FaCilities
Steel Pioneers Factory gives highest priority to quality
and has full-fledged laboratory to consistency maintain
the quality of its products to meet stringent international
quality standards.
Some of the facilities we have in-house are as follows:
• LABORATORY TEST’S
 GEL TIME TEST
 IMPACT TEST
 HARDNESS TEST
 SALT SPRAY TEST
 ABRASION RESISTANCE TEST
 CATHODIC DISBONDMENT TEST
 CHEMICAL RESISTANCE TEST

GEL TIME TEST
OBJECTIVE:
To measure the gel time of epoxy powder.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TEST:

In the instrument from which you can measure
temperature and time which testing sample
Becomes gel.
IMPACT TEST
OBJECTIVE:
Shows the resistance of reinforcing coating to

mechanical damages.

This test signifies the impact resistance of the
coated bar.
HARDNESS TEST
OBJECTIVE:
To assess the hardness of a Coating material
by using a Barcol impressor.

This test signifies the how much a Thermosetting
resin has cured.
SALT SPRAY TEST
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the resistance of coating to hot, wet
corrosive environment.

By this test the behavior of coated bars in marine
foggy environment is known. From the results
obtained so far the disbondment of coating does not
exceed 3mm, which shows the resistance of the
coating to such adverse condition.
ABRASION RESISTANCE TEST
OBJECTIVE:
To assess the resistance of coating to abrasion.

This test signifies the loss in weight of epoxy
powder due to abrasion by mishandling of
bars at site or by bar to bar abrasion of the
coated bars.
CATHODIC DISBONDMENT TEST
OBJECTIVE:
The ability of coating to resist loss of adhesion
under an applied voltage at ambient temperature
is evaluated.

By this test we can assure the amount of
disbondment that will occur at any damaged site
left unattended in the presence of stray / static
current formed in concrete.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE TEST
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the chemical resistance of coating by
immersing in chemicals.

This test shows that fusion bonded epoxy coating
is resistant to all major chemicals found in
concrete

The nominal diameter of a deformed wire is equivalent to the nominal diameter of a plain wire having the same weight per foot as the deformed wire.

The cross-sectional area is based on the weight of the wire. The area in square inches may be calculated by dividing the weight in pounds by 0.2833 (weight of 1 in.3
