  • Publication number: 20050171302
    Abstract: Disclosed is a coating composition for PC tendon, which is applied on surface of the PC tendon. This composition includes epoxy resin, multifunctional isocyanate compound, calcium oxide and water, and further includes water-absorbing polymer as necessary. A curing time thereof is adjusted so that tensioning by the PC tendon can be exerted 30 days or later after casting of the concrete. Accordingly, even when applied to a massive concrete structure, the coating composition enables effective tensioning after hardening of the concrete, while exhibiting excellent storage stability.
