WHY USE AKS? Superior Mechanical & Chemical Protection.
A key factor in the success of AKS is its ability to bridge cracks in the concrete structure. This ability offers a distinct advantage over coating systems, which depend entirely on the integrity of the substrate
AKS allows for some movement of the supporting structure, while remaining securely in place through the closely spaced matrix of anchor knobs, each able to withstand substantial pull-off forces. It will maintain its integrity even in situations where the concrete structure itself has cracked.
The various polymers used for the manufacture of AKS (HDPE) are highly resistant to chemical attack. Their ultimate selection will be based on their specific attributes such as temperature tolerance and flexibility. The AKS system combines the economy and versatility of concrete structures with the robust qualities of plastic linings, to provide the perfect solution to concrete protection. AKS acts as a second skin for concrete structures - firmly anchoring itself to the structure and forming a protective layer able to withstand abrasion and harsh chemical environments. |
