PROTECER IC - Corrosion-inhibiting water repellent

PROTECER IC is a colourless liquid based on organo-functional silanes, which is used to protect reinforced concrete structures against corrosion attack. Highly reactive and resistant to alkalinity, it re-passivates the reinforcements and has a great penetration power.

• It drastically reduces chloride-induced corrosion in the reinforced concrete reinforcement.
• Hydrophobic, it reduces the absorption of water and chloride ions.
• It can be used on repair mortars with corrosion inhibitors, since it does not interfere with them.
• It protects the concrete according to principles 1, 2, 8 and 11 of the UNE EN 1504-9 standard.
• Based on organo-functional silanes
• It protects reinforced concrete reinforcements against corrosion, in beams, facades, reinforced and prestressed concrete, etc.
• Extends the useful life of concrete structures
• Easy to apply
• Does not change the appearance of concrete
• Breathable-permeable to water vapour
• Water-repellent: repels the penetration of water and chlorides
• Meets the requirements of standard 1504-2

Field of application:

PROTECER IC acts against the corrosion of reinforced concrete structures, pre/post-tensioned, such as:

• - Decks, pillars and beams of bridges.
• - Structures of ports, piers, coastlines, ...
• - Facades, balconies, edges of forgings, ...
• - Sports, industrial, commercial structures susceptible to corrosion processes.
• - It can complement concrete protection and/or repair systems or as a preventive action against corrosion.

PROTECER IC reduces both chloride corrosion and carbonation corrosion, in new construction and in rehabilitation.
