(808) 676-1963 CORTEC - MCI® MIGRATING CORROSION INHIBITORS Cortec MCI®-2005NS Corrosion Inhibiting Admixture Product description MCI®-2005 NS (normal set) is a water-based, organic, corrosion inhibiting admixture for protection of metallic reinforcement in concrete structures. When incorporated into concrete, MCI®-2005 NS forms a protective, monomolecular layer on embedded metals that inhibits corrosion. In new construction, this is quantified by an increase in critical chloride threshold and subsequent reduction in corrosion rates when corrosion does initiate. When used with repair mortars and grouts, MCI®-2005 NS not only protects rebar within the patch, it is able to migrate into undisturbed concrete adjacent to the repair, to protect reinforcement already in place. How It Works - MCI®-2005 NS is an organic corrosion inhibitor and is considered ambiodic (mixed), meaning it protects both anodic and cathodic areas within a corrosion cell. MCI®-2005 NS contains a blend of amine salts of carboxylic acids which form a protective layer on embedded reinforcement delaying the onset of corrosion as well as reducing existing corrosion rates. MCI®-2005 NS is effective at enhancing the durability and extending the service life of concrete structures exposed to corrosive environments (carbonation, chlorides, and atmospheric attack). Where to Use - Reinforced concrete including precast, pre-stressed, and post-tensioned structures • Corrosive environments including exposure to deicing salts, saline groundwater, airborne chlorides, and carbonation • Marine and coastal structures, highways and bridges, parking decks, balconies, pools, concrete tanks, pilings, substructures, piers, pillars, pipes, and utility poles Advantages - Biobased (27%) • Earns credit towards LEED certification • Lower toxicity and environmental impact than traditional corrosion inhibiting admixtures such as calcium nitrite • Low dosage rate with minimal effect on concrete properties (i.e. workability, strength development, air entrainment, etc.) • Ability to migrate through porous substrates (concrete, masonry, limestone, etc.) by capillary action, vapor diffusion and ionic attraction • Meets all requirements of ASTM C1582 • Certified to meet ANSI/NSF Standard 61 for use on structures holding potable water • Field and lab tested worldwide • Complies with CSA S413, Section C1.2, for corrosion inhibiting • Single dosage rate independent of expected exposure to chlorides (1.5 pts/yd3) •Made in USA Case Histories - Local Projects utilizing Cortec® MCI®-2005NS Contact Us for Guide Specifications and other inquires. Cortec MCI®-2020 Corrosion Inhibitor Surface Applied Product Description MCI®-2020 is a surface applied, migrating corrosion inhibitor designed to penetrate through cementitious materials including concrete, mortar, and limestone. MCI®-2020 migrates in both liquid and vapor (gas) phases through the pore structure, forming a protective, molecular layer on embedded reinforcement. MCI®-2020 provides corrosion protection against carbonation, chlorides, and other contaminants. MCI®-2020 V/O is a high viscosity version of MCI®-2020 which is specifically designed for vertical and overhead applications. How it works - MCI®-2020/MCI®-2020 V/O are organic corrosion inhibitors. They are considered ambiodic (mixed) inhibitors which means they protect both anodic and cathodic areas within a corrosion cell. MCI®-2020/MCI®-2020 V/O contain a synergistic blend of amino-alcohols and salts of carboxylic acids which form a protective layer on embedded reinforcement delaying the onset of corrosion as well as reducing existing corrosion rates. Where to Use - Preventative maintenance of existing reinforced, precast, prestressed, post- tensioned or marine industrial floors exposed to aggressive environments (chemicals, deicing salts, carbonation, atmospheric attack) • Parking garages • Concrete piers, dams, offshore platforms, piles, pillars, pipes, utility poles, and cooling towers • Concrete potable water structures Advantages - MCI-2020/MCI-2020 V/O offer engineers, owners, contractors, DOTs, and other government agencies a time proven, corrosion inhibiting technology that will extend the service life of their reinforced concrete structures.• Protects against corrosion caused by carbonation, chlorides, and other aggressive contaminants • Effectively reduces corrosion rates on metals with existing corrosion • Water based and non-flammable •ANSI/NSF Standard 61 Approval for structures containing potable water • Does not etch, stain, discolor, or otherwise harm glass, metals, or automotive paint • Does not contain calcium nitrite • Does not contain wax • Does not require removal of sound concrete • Allows vapor diffusion (not a vapor barrier) • Easily applied by spray, brush, or roller • Minimal curing time, traffic may resume minutes after application if necessary (dry to touch) • Migrates independent of orientation (horizontal, vertical, overhead) • Migrates up to 3 inches in 30 days • Proven performance in both lab and field testing • MCI-2020 V/O available for vertical and overhead surfaces • Made in USA Case Histories - Local Projects utilizing Cortec® MCI®-2020 Contact Us for Guide Specifications and other inquires.
