Protectosil® WA CIT

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
