Surface protection of concrete in wastewater systems

摘要

Concrete is a non-organic material, which is plastic and mouldable in the production state and then becomes a hard, stone-like material with considerable compressive strength. The most important characteristics are high compressive strength and durability comparable to natural stone. But exposed to particularly aggressive liquids or gases, for example from wastewater, the concrete's life is considerably reduced. As wastewater continues to show increasingly aggressive characteristics, the chemical strain on our wastewater systems increases, which at a global level will turn in time into a major societal issue. A solution now exists with the development of BorthyGlass.
