Cliolite CIT - Corrosion Inhibitor Treatment

Description

A surface-applied clear liquid that penetrates concrete and provides an organofunctional silane molecule to inhibit the electrochemical corrosion process between the rebar and the chloride ions, and oxygen and moisture within the concrete.

Usage Areas

• Steel-reinforced cast-in-place, precast, post tension, GFRC, prestressed or other steel-reinforced concrete.

• Parking decks, facades, balconies, walkways, piers, bridge decks, beams, columns and other steel-reinforced concrete structures.

• Marine environments with high relative humidity and areas where deicer salts are used.

Advantages

• Inhibits corrosion of carbon and galvanized steel rebar.

• Is effective in both marine and high-humidity environments.

• Is easy to apply.

• Is effective in heavily chloride-contaminated concrete.

• Is effective in carbonated concrete.

• Complies with VOC regulations.

• Is vapor permeable.

• Dries quickly.

• Prevents ingress of additional chlorides

Surface Preparation

Concrete surface must be cleaned to remove all traces of dirt, dust, efflorescence, mold, grease, oil, asphalt, laitance, paint, coatings, curing compounds and other foreign materials that would inhibit penetration. Acceptable cleaning methods include shotblasting, sandblasting, waterblasting, grinding and chemical cleaning. In some instances, the use of a power broom or street sweeper can be utilized. Check with your Protectosil representative determine what method is appropriate to verify that surface preparation is adequate prior to treatment.

Application

Apply multiple coats of Cliolite CIT to entire concrete surface, including repaired areas. Allow a minimum of 15 minutes between coats (or until visibly dry). Most applications require two or three coats at 230 to 180 ml/m2 for each coat. The exact amount of Cliolite CIT will depend on the present corrosion rate, the chloride ion level and the service environment of the structure. Cliolite CIT should be applied to concrete using low pressure pumping equipment with a wet fan type spray nozzle. Alternate methods include roller, brush or pouring (in crack for example). Do not alter or dilute the material. Do not apply to a wet or damp substrate. The proper application conditions are between 40°F and 100°F (5°C to 38°C). Lower or higher application temperatures require prior written approval from our technical service department. Do not apply if rain is expected within 4 hours following application, or if high winds or other conditions prevent proper application. The substrate should be as dry as possible prior to application. Depending on weather conditions, allow between 24 and 72 hours for the substrate to dry after rain or cleaning with water.
