    Queen's University summary of ongoing and proposed research for Kelso Coatings highlighting the potential of CN2000 coatings for reinforced concrete applications where corrosion of internal steel reinforcement may be a concern. A total of 94 specimens comprised of steel reinforcing bars embedded in concrete mortar cylinders have  been subjected to an accelerated corrosion process by immersing them in a saltwater bath.  The high watercement ratios used for the concrete mortar (0.5 and 0.7) in conjunction with the high chloride concentration of  the bath have been designed to create an especially aggressive environment conducive to electrochemical  corrosion in order to achieve corrosion in a short time frame.  Hence, the control samples (uncoated rebar in  concrete cylinders) showed signs of corrosion within only a few days, whereas in most typical applications with  good quality concrete the first signs of corrosion may not occur for 30 years or more.
