Highly effective corrosion inhibitor for steel reinforced concrete based on an organofunctional silane formulation
Typical Applications
Protectosil® CIT
- is suited for every type of steel reinforced concrete
- is suited for old and new structures
- is effective in heavily chloride-contaminated concrete
- is effective in marine environments with high relative humidity and areas where deicing salts are used such as jetties, piers, decks, facades, balconies, walkways, bridge decks, beams, columns
- reduces corrosion in carbonated concrete steel-reinforced structures
Benefits at a glance
Protectosil® CIT
- dramatically reduces the chloride induced corrosion rate of concrete steel reinforcement
- is highly reactive and resistant to alkaline environment
- forms colorless and water vapour permeable impregnation
- significantly reduces water and chloride uptake
- is applied undiluted to a concrete surface and is absorbed quickly
- penetrates deeply into the concrete
- is suited for old and new structures
- is suited for every type of steel reinforced concrete
- is effective in marine environments with high relative humidity and areas where deicing salts are used such as jetties, piers, decks, facades, balconies, walkways, bridge decks, beams, columns
- effectively inhibits macrocell (mat-to-mat) and microcell (along rebar) corrosion of steel-reinforced concrete
- reduces corrosion in carbonated concrete steel-reinforced structures
- equalizes the differences in electrochemical potential between polymer concrete and existing concrete when applied to concrete structures repaired with polymer concrete
- meets the requirements of EN 1504-2can be used according to principles 1, 2, 8 and 11 of EN 1504-9
