MIgrating Corrosion
Migrating Corrosion Inhibitors are clear surface-applied coatings designed to migrate through reinforced concrete and preserve steel reinforcing bars embedded in concrete. The solution forms a protective layer around the steel, typically within a week of treatment depending on the permeability and moisture content of the concrete.
Migrating corrosion inhibitors can be used effectively in the following environments:
- All reinforced, re-cast, pre-stressed and post-tensioned concrete structures
- Concrete bridges and highways
- Car parks
- Tunnels and other underground structures
- Marine structures
- Concrete-framed and concrete-clad buildings
The benefits of using migrating corrosion inhibitors include:
- Protects against corrosion by absorption and vapour diffusion into concrete
- Migrates to surrounding concrete, reducing effect of anodic corrosion
- Not a vapour barrier; allows concrete to breathe
- Reduces existing corrosion and enhances durability of reinforced concrete
- Time-proven technology giving engineers, contractors, and building owners extension of effective service life of structures
- Safe to use: water-based and non-flammable, organic and environmentally friendly
- Does not require removal of good quality concrete
- Easy to apply by roller, brush or spray
