This paper describes the carbonation suppressive effect of varies coating materials for carbonated ALC. In contrast to carbonation of concrete members, that of ALC simultaneously proceeds within the panel and along the surfaces, as observed in a field survey of aged ALC. Therefore, carbonation-suppressing effect of varies coating materials for carbonated ALC was investigated by evaluation based on the degree of carbonation progression. The research results on the carbonation-suppressing effect of coating materials for concrete were found applicable to carbonated ALC panels.
