Protectosil® CIT

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
