CASTECHCIA-800
Organic Migratory Corrosion Inhibiting Admixture for Steel Reinforcement
CASTECH CIA-800 is an organic migratory corrosion inhibiting admixture formulated to inhibit the corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete. CASTECH CIA-800 provides two levels of corrosion protection – inhibiting and waterproofing.
Overview
About
CASTECH CIA-800 is an organic migratory corrosion inhibiting admixture formulated to inhibit the corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete. CASTECH CIA-800 provides two levels of corrosion protection – inhibiting and waterproofing.
Typical uses
- General industrial and civil buildings, bridges and other mildly corrosive environments
- Harbour engineering, coastal construction and other severely corrosive environments
Benefits
Advantages
Key advantages
- Extends the service life of reinforced concrete by slowing the ingress of chlorides
- Forms a durable protective film on the reinforcing steel – a second level of protection
- Effective with all cement factors, and in cracked concrete where corrosive elements have direct access to the steel
- Non-chloride: will not initiate or promote corrosion of reinforcing steel, prestressed concrete or concrete placed on galvanised steel floor and roof systems
