TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: Liquid Coating for Corrosion Prevention in Rebar (KSC-TOPS-24)

NASA's Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses . THE TECHNOLOGY : National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) seeks to license its newest liquid-applied coating technology. Developed at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida, to protect embedded steel surfaces from corrosion, this material is made of inexpensive, commercially available ingredients and is easily applied to the outer surface of reinforced concrete by brush or spray. Expensive, specialized labor is unnecessary. By transferring the corrosion-prevention process from the inside of the formed concrete slab to the outside of the concrete surface, companies will be able to conveniently slow or stop the internal corrosion process. Without this preventive technology, embedded steel structures may continue to corrode and deteriorate until failure occurs, costing companies billions of dollars to repair these infrastructures costs over the lifetime of the structure. To express interest in this opportunity, please submit a license application through NASA's Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by visiting https://technology.nasa.gov/apply/license/KSC-TOPS-24 If you have any questions, please contact Jeffrey Kohler, Technology Transfer Specialist, Kennedy Space Center at [email protected] with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this FBO notice and your preferred contact information. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at https://technology.nasa.gov/ These responses are provided to members of NASA's Technology Transfer Program for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice .
