EAL Epoxy
Meeting Industry Demands with Quality & Precision
As demand for epoxy-coated rebar and smooth round bars continues to rise, limited supply sources and increasing costs make it challenging for contractors and builders to stay competitive in the construction industry.
At EAL MFG, we understand these challenges, and we’re dedicated to offering quality solutions that drive customer success. That’s why we’ve expanded to a larger, state-of-the-art facility equipped with advanced technology, including a 12-bar coating line that meets industry demands with efficiency and precision. Whether you need concrete reinforcement or custom concrete fabrication, we’re here to support your construction projects with the highest level of quality and reliability.
Our new coating line allows us to process rebar in a wide range of sizes, from 1/2″ to 2″ in diameter, ensuring the quality and performance our customers expect. You can send us your steel to coat or choose from our extensive inventory for a quick turnaround.
The Benefits of Epoxy Coating
Epoxy coating offers unmatched value in the concrete and construction industries by protecting rebar from corrosion, extending the material’s lifespan, and providing the lowest life cycle cost. This makes it an ideal choice for bridges, parking structures, pavements, marine buildings, and structural repair work. Contractors and builders rely on its commitment to quality for long-lasting results. Here’s a quick comparison of reinforcing options:
Uncoated Reinforcing Steel
The shortest lifespan and highest lifecycle cost.
Epoxy-coated Reinforcing Steel
Reduced corrosion rates and cost-effective over both initial and life cycle costs, making it more economical than uncoated or stainless-steel options.
Stainless Steel Reinforcing
Higher initial costs (about 70% more than uncoated steel) with a life cycle cost about 35% greater than epoxy-coated steel.
