Rebar Exposed Ends
Rebar Exposed Ends
(OP)
I have a situation where rebar will be cut during a demo process. The exposed ends of the rebar will remain exposed. I am looking for a coating to protect the exposed ends from corrosion.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Rebar Exposed Ends
Some form of waterproofing or competent exterior paint system which works with both steel and concrete would be appropriate. Or, a fabricated cover - such as flashing, could be considered.
One exterior product we've used is Autogard by Neogard, Inc. http://www.neogard.com/

Still the best way would be to cut back an additional 40mm including the rebar and then use a repair mortar to provide the required cover.

I would look at an applied coating, possibly epoxy or bitumen based. Or a flexible cementious coating such as Fosroc Nitocote. I would also be inclined to speak to a company like Fosroc and see what they would recommend.

Could you drill out the rebar and fill with grout?
