abstract This paper presents the results of the experimental research and analyses indicating the usefulness of polymer sulphur composites to the protection against corrosion of reinforcement. In paper presents materials also the domain of the personal investigations and the methodology are definite. After the analyze of the initial results the optimum compositions have been chosen to the experimental research. In paper the review of the literature have been done, among other things about select using polymer sulphur composites in buildings, about the methods of the surface protection against corrosion of reinforcement and about the methods of the evaluation of protection layer on these materials. The experimental programme comprised the adhesion of sulphur polymer composite layer to rebars under tension and bending, adjacent adhesion of sulphur polymer composite layer to reinforcing bars, adjacent adhesion of sulphur polymer composite to rebars in pushed-out test, adjacent adhesion of concrete to rebars coated with sulphur polymer composite, and mass loss of plain rebars in aqueous solutions of acids, hydroxides and salts and in water. In paper the usefulness of polymer sulphur composites to the surface protection against corrosion of the reinforcement have been evaluated.
