Corrosion inhibitors for industrial plants
Migrating Corrosion Inhibitors (MCI) by Cortec were designed to protect reinforcing metal in concrete from corrosion
During the last two decades there have been advances in technology to extend the lifespan of structures and avoid possible tragedies. Migrating Corrosion Inhibitors (MCI) by Cortec were designed to protect reinforcing metal in concrete from corrosion. According to certain engineering regulations, the durability and design of structural lifetime is often around 50 years. It can be greatly extended with regular maintenance; otherwise the structure should be demolished and rebuilt. By using MCI in severely corrosive environments, structures will have a stronger resistance to corrosion.
In salty and corrosive environments such as the Maslenica Bridge in Croatia all spalling concrete was water-blasted off, along with dirt and corrosion on the rebar. CorrVerter MCI Rust Primer was brushed on exposed rebar to passivate the metal from further corrosion, and MCI-2020 was applied to the entire concrete structure using an airless sprayer to prevent any potential corrosion that was not apparent. www.cortecvci.com
