A basic requirement for the functional efficiency of many structures, including bridges, is a durable seal. The reliability of the type of seal is crucial for the safety, functional performance, value in use and service life of a bridge. Reinforced concrete has a tendency to crack under high thermal and mechanical loads. Through constant movement, the cracks become bigger over the course of time, rainwater and aggressive substances from the environment penetrate into the cracks, destroy the concrete and attack the steel. The structural safety of the building may even be at risk. Reinforced concrete structures subjected to this kind of environmental stress should therefore be treated at the earliest possible stage with a permanently elastic, crack-bridging seal capable of long-term resistance to all manner of loads. Due to its high flexibility and high elongation at break, building structures can be safely and durably sealed with Baytec® Spray Systems.
