Protectosil® WA CIT is a waterborne emulsion which is based on a multifunctional silane system specially designed to protect embedded steel rebars against corrosion caused by chlorides. As part of the concrete mix design, Protectosil® WA CIT is homogeneously distributed throughout the concrete, thereby offering an effective protection against chloride induced corrosion.
Typical Applications
Protectosil® WA CIT is preferably designed for
- steel reinforced concrete
- prefabricated concrete elements
- two componend concrete repair mortars according to EN 1504-2 or EN 1504-7
- shotcrete
- building materials which are exposed to high chloride environments, such as sea water or de-icing salts (e.g. marine constructions, harbours, parking garages, tunnel or highways)
Benefits at a glance
