Two specifications are available for epoxy-coated reinforcing steel, ASTM A775 and ASTM A934. Reinforcing steel bars meeting ASTM A775/A775M Standard Specification for Epoxy-Coated Steel Reinforcing Bars are coated in a straight condition and then bent, whereas ASTM A934/A934M Standard Specification for Epoxy-Coated Prefabricated Steel Reinforcing Bars covers bars that are bent prior to coating.

Initially, it was thought that bending coated bars would compromise their corrosion resistance. At that time, ASTM A775 required bars to undergo a flexibility test limited to 120 degrees. When bent to 180 degrees, many coatings would crack or detach from the steel surface, hindering corrosion resistance. Recent improvements to ASTM A775 specifications now require bars to pass a flexibility test at 180 degrees. This has been achieved through enhanced surface preparation before coating and the use of more flexible coatings.
The A775 and A934 specifications require coatings to endure an abrasion test based on ASTM D. In this test, coatings must show less than 100 mg weight loss over a specified cycle count. Impact tests are also mandated by both standards according to ASTM G14 using a 4-lb tup. The A775 requires an impact resilience of 80 in-lbf without any shattering, cracking, or bond loss, while A934 only requires 40 in-lbf. Therefore, the common belief that coatings meeting ASTM A934 are tougher isn’t substantiated by the pertinent ASTM regulations.
Corrosion tests conducted by McDonald et al. during a comprehensive 5-year FHWA research initiative showed no considerable difference in performance between flexible and non-flexible coatings.
It’s crucial for all coated bars to be inspected after fabrication and before placement into concrete to ensure that any damages are addressed. More details on the fabrication of epoxy-coated bars can be found in Appendix X1 of ASTM A775 and ASTM D.
Epoxy coating can be applied to both woven wire mesh and expanded metal mesh. After the plain weave or expansion, the mesh is coated with epoxy resin. The resulting epoxy resin coated wire mesh can either be rolled into rolls or cut into manageable strips.
As a reliable epoxy coated wire mesh supplier, we work closely with our clients to provide custom cut, installation-ready epoxy-coated grids designed to streamline building and construction processes. While dark gray and black epoxy coatings are standard, we also offer customization in other colors like gray, white, and blue.
