Evaluating Effect Of Thin Coating Of Form Oil On Rebars -- Building In SouthEastern Michigan -- ANAND Enterprises Project ForF1J1901

.
Evaluating Effect Of Thin Coating Of Form Oil On Rebars

I inspected the rebars to look at whether the thin coating of Form Oil on the rebars had an adverse impact of bonding the rebars to concrete. Based on my field inspection, review of industry study on this, my engineering judgment, and my practical experience, I believe that the thin coating of Form Oil on some rebars will not have adverse impact on bonding of rebars to concrete
