CHRYSO®CI 2004

Corrosion Inhibitor

Description

CHRYSO®CI 2004 is a calcium nitrite based corrosion inhibiting admixture which interacts with the structural steel in concrete to prevent chloride attack.

CHRYSO®CI 2004 chemically reacts with steel to maintain a passivating layer which when chlorides penetrate the concrete, it significantly delays the rate of corrosion.

The concrete steel reinforcements natural passivating layer may break down with the presence of water and chlorides which will result to corrosion, CHRYSO®CI 2004 will significantly delays corrosion by repassivating the layer of the steel surface.

Application areas

When used in fresh concrete mixes, CHRYSO®CI 2004 will seek out and form a corrosion inhibiting protective layer on steel reinforcements. Project specifications will determine addition rates, which should be pre-determined based on projected chloride-ion ingress over the life span of the structure.
