Harsh environments threaten structural integrity
Concrete structures in biogas installations endure relentless exposure to moisture, chemicals, and corrosive biogases that can lead to premature deterioration. Unprotected concrete absorbs water through micro-cracks, which accelerates corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement and results in spalling, ultimately compromising structural integrity. In biogas silos and similar facilities, these challenges can lead to costly repairs and operational disruptions.

protection for biogas silos
Harsh environments threaten structural integrity
Concrete structures in biogas installations endure relentless exposure to moisture, chemicals, and corrosive biogases that can lead to premature deterioration. Unprotected concrete absorbs water through micro-cracks, which accelerates corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement and results in spalling, ultimately compromising structural integrity. In biogas silos and similar facilities, these challenges can lead to costly repairs and operational disruptions.
NICOLON Concrete Protection is specifically engineered to address these challenges. The product features a robust loop fabric laminated with a heavy-duty polyolefin coating, creating a flexible protective layer that bonds seamlessly to concrete surfaces. This innovative design not only forms an impermeable barrier against water infiltration and chemical attacks but also prevents corrosive biogas vapors from degrading the substrate. Its gas-impermeable nature is critical in biogas applications, where the presence of aggressive gases can rapidly compromise unprotected structures.
A high-performance barrier for concrete longevity
Installation of NICOLON Concrete Protection is straightforward and efficient. Large sheets of the material can be applied to prepared concrete surfaces – such as those in biogas silos – and joined with advanced welding techniques to form continuous, durable protection. Long roll lengths minimize seams, reducing potential weak points and ensuring a reliable, long-lasting bond even under extreme environmental conditions like temperature fluctuations and UV exposure.

Long-term durability, reduced maintenance
By effectively shielding concrete from moisture, chemicals, and biogas, NICOLON Concrete Protection not only extends the life of these critical structures but also reduces maintenance frequency and associated costs. This robust protection enhances operational efficiency and safeguards investments in biogas facilities, ensuring a stable, cost-effective operation. NICOLON Concrete Protection is the ultimate solution for preserving the integrity of concrete structures in biogas silos and beyond.
