| 4th Generation of Conductive Coatings - CASTQ Composite Quantum Anode Paint |
The CASTQ Carbon Quantum Anode Paint was applied on 3400 m2 on the parking decks in a parking garage in Berlin by CATODICA (www.catodica.de) - covered with a novel polyurea traffic coating from SIKA/MBCC, the MasterSeal® Traffic 2239 traffic coating by CHEMICON (www.chemicon.de). The polyruea coating has an expected service time of > 40 years due to the special properties of the polyurea system: extremely high wear resistance, high elasticity and high strength due to the strong hydrogen bonding in the polymer. Therefore, in combination with the traffic 2239 polyurea coating, the service time of the Composite Quantum Anode is expected to exceed 40 years!   
Application of the CAS Composite Quantum Anode to protect concrete elements (soffits, walls) in a parking deck in Rotterdam 2022-2023 (NL)      25 Years of Composite Anode Systems
The first application of the Composite Anode System with the CAS-T paint as an integral part was realized in 1998 by applying the CAS-T Composite Anode on 2500 m2 concrete surface of columns and pavement of a parking deck in Haugenstua, Oslo. Next installations were realized on an Arc-Bridge (Spittal a. d. Drau, Carinthia (A) 2001) – Hollow-Box Girder Bridge (A7, Uttrichshausen (DE) 2002) – Polder Bridge (Demmerik, Gagelweg (NL) 2003) - Parking Deck (Austrian Central TV Station, Vienna (A) 2003 - 2008). Since then, in the Netherlands, more than 120 installations, 77 installations 2011 - 2018 have been realized (see paper presented by Hans van den Hondel at ICCRRR 2018, see the link below), 9 installations in Germany, and 9 installations in Austria, one installation in the Emirates. The most representative projects over the past 25 years are presented below.
Application on soffits of a parking garage in Rostock, Germany (April - July 2017) The CAST3+ Composite Anode System was installed on about 700 m² on the soffits of an underground parking garage in Rostock, Herweghstrasse 20, Germany. Following that project, the CAST3+ Composite Anode System will be installed in the underground parking garage of the Deutsche Med on about 2000 m² on soffits, beams and on the parking deck. Both projects are realized by ZÜBLIN, the cathodic corrosion protection systems (CP) - CAST3+ Composite Anode System & MMO-titanium ribbon mesh anode - are installed by iCOR GmbH.
Cooperation with Ed. Züblin CAS and Ed. Züblin AG concluded a cooperation agreement on the CAST3+ Composite Anode technology. Cooperation will be exclusively in Germany, France, Switzerland and Scandinavia.
History of system CAS successfully developed a novel conductive paint, based on the since 16 years proven CAS-T+ paint. The novel conductive CAST3+ paint is the 3d step in the development of the CAS composite conductive paints and excels in durability (UV-resistant, high weathering resistance, limited frost-thaw salt resistance), compatibility with a large range of cover coatings including epoxy coatings, high electrical conductivity and superior anode performance. The conductive CAST3+ paint is usually applied in combination with the CAP 60 primer, based on the long time proven alumo-silicate composite paint system. The CAP 60 primer improves the adhesion of the CAST3+ paint, solidifies the concrete surface and increases the ionic conductivity of the concrete. The use of the CAP60 is recommended if high weathering resistance of the Composite Anode is required and is especially recommended for the corrosion protection of steel reinforcements in carbonated concrete. The CAST3+ composite conductive paint was evaluated along with two other products in a 3 year research project conducted by IBAC (RWTH Aachen) and by BAM (Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, Berlin) and is denominated as CBCC 2. The final report is available since August 2015.
Reports on application for prestressed concrete beams in higway bridges in the Netherlands Two independent reports on the application of the CAST3+ composite conductive paint for the cathodic corrosion protection of prestressed concrete beams in 30 highway bridges in the Netherlands were presented at the ICCRRR 2015 in Leipzig.
Application on soffits of a parking garage in Rheinfelden, Germany (November 2014) The CAST3+ was applied November 2014 by Züblin in a parking garage in Rheinfelden (Baden), Germany.
Application in the Netherlands (2011-2015) The CAST3+ composite anode systems was applied since 2011 in 9 projects in the Netherlands - sea side appartements, swimming pools, beam heads of 30 highway viaducts, difficult to access concrete members of a bridge abutment, solar powered Composite Anode on a bridge and two parking decks. Details are presented. Projects are realized by Vogel Kathodische Bescherming B.V in cooperation with Corrosion Protection Supplies B.V.
