Proper packing is essential to maintain the quality and corrosion resistance of epoxy coated rebar during storage and transportation. Since the epoxy coating acts as a protective barrier, special care must be taken to avoid scratches, impact damage, and contamination.
Bundle Packing with Protective Materials
Epoxy coated rebars are normally packed in bundles using nylon straps or coated steel bands. Wooden spacers are placed between layers to prevent direct contact and minimize coating damage during handling. Plastic caps can also be installed on the bar ends for additional protection.
Moisture and Surface Protection
To protect the epoxy coating from moisture, dust, and sunlight, the bundles are wrapped with plastic film or waterproof tarpaulin. For export shipments, heavy-duty PE sheets are often used to ensure the products remain clean and dry throughout transportation and storage.
Safe Loading and Handling
During loading and unloading, nylon lifting slings are recommended instead of steel chains to avoid scratching the coating surface. Forklift tines should be padded, and direct impact between bundles should be prevented. Proper stacking with timber dunnage helps maintain bundle stability and allows easy handling.
Export Packaging Solutions
For international shipments, epoxy coated rebars can be packed in standard bundles with identification tags indicating size, grade, heat number, and quantity. Customized packaging options are also available to meet project requirements and ensure safe delivery to construction sites worldwide.
With appropriate packing and handling methods, epoxy coated rebar can retain its excellent corrosion resistance and arrive at the destination in optimal condition, providing long-term durability for bridges, highways, marine structures, and other reinforced concrete projects.
