Migratory Liquid Corrosion Inhibitor

Features
CHRYSOCI 550 is a liquid concrete admixture for steel protection, to
be added into concrete. CHRYSOCI 550 can be added to the water.
CHRYSOCI 550 can also be used in repair mortars and grouts.
CHRYSOCI 550 is composed of efficient corrosion inhibitors,
combined with polyfunctional agents and a phosphonic combination
made of amine salts, which increases corrosion inhibition properties.
CHRYSOCI 550 protects steel be a well-proven, migratory inhibition
function.

Benefits
CHRYSOCI 550 increases life of all reinforced concrete structures.
Effectively protects against corrosion. Will even migrate into the
densest of concrete and to adjoining areas to protect surrounding
metal elements and provides efficient protection against carbonation &
attack by atmospheric gasses such as CO2, SO2, CI and so on.
Can be used in conjunction with other admixtures.
CHRYSOCI 550 is a Water based, Organic & non-flammable,
therefore safe and user friendly.
Does not contain any calcium nitrite.
Concentrated version. Lesser downtime for mixing and definitely
reduced logistical / storage requirements.
Offers Owners, Clients, Engineers and Govt. Bodies, a time- proven,
corrosion inhibiting technology that will extend life of all reinforced
concrete structures.

Areas of Application
When used in fresh concrete mixes, CHRYSOCI 550 will seek out
and form a corrosion inhibiting protective layer on metals. When
used with cementitious repair mortars and grouts, CHRYSOCI 550
will migrate and reach undisturbed parent concrete, providing
efficient corrosion protection to rebar's which are already in place.
Unique feature of CHRYSOCI 550 is that the inhibitor will migrate
a considerable distance through concrete to provide protection and
will stop further corrosion of reinforcing metals.
1. All reinforced concrete used in Foundation , Ground Floors, Split
slabs, Car decks, Inverted roofs, Basements, Underground Tunnels,
etc. .
2. All reinforced precast, pre-stressed, post-tensioned or marine
concrete structures.
3. Concrete substructures in marine environment / splash zones,
water reservoirs, swimming pools.
4. Pre-cast and all steel reinforced concrete structures exposed to deicing salts and corrosive environment such as carbonation and
atmospheric attack.
5. Industrial concrete structures with sulphur vapor
6. Concrete mixed with chloride water.
7. Cooling Towers, Plant & Factory floors subject to chemical and / or
acid attack.
8. Preventive maintenance, Restoration and repair of all reinforced
concrete structures, when utilizing proprietary repair mortars.
