ABSTRACT
Two test methods were used to test the polymermodified cementitious elastic coating’s ability to withstand chloride penetration. Method EN 13396 determined the amount of chloride in the standard mortar after immersion in sodium chloride solution at 3% for 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. The chloride concentration was measured at 8-10 mm depth from the surface of the specimen in contact with solution. The same test was carried out with the same mortar protected with the cementitious coating, showing negligible chloride penetration.
