Epoxy-Coated Steel Reinforcing Bar has demonstrated long-term field performance. • Epoxy-Coated Steel Reinforcing Bar has outperformed ASTM A1035 (MMFX) in almost every lab test. • Some laboratory tests indicated that the performance of ASTM A1035 (MMFX) is highly dependent on surface preparation, such as pickling, prior to placement in concrete. • ASTM A1035 is only available from a single source and in limited supply.
