Cortec MCI®-2022 Sealer, Patented

Product Description

MCI®-2022 is a water-based, water-repelling sealer for concrete, brick, masonry units, etc. It is a ready-to-use product and is made up of a low VOC blend of silane/siloxane emulsions and time-proven Migrating Corrosion Inhibitors (MCI®). MCI®-2022 penetrates the concrete, seals its surface and prevents carbonation and intrusion of water and chlorides. Treated concrete surfaces are fully breathable and their natural moisturevapor transmissions are not affected.

Packaging & Storage

MCI®-2022 is available in 5 gallon (19 L) pails, 55 gallon (208 L) drums, liquid totes, and bulk.

Shelf life: 12 months when stored in original, airtight c o n t a i n e r s a n d a m b i e n t temperature.

How it works

MCI®-2022’s unique feature is its Migratory Corrosion Inhibitor™ action that will migrate through even the densest concrete structures. It seeks out the steel reinforcing bars embedded within to form a protective monomolecular, corrosion inhibiting coating. MCI®-2022 also protects a multitude of metals including carbon steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum. A high viscosity version of MCI®-2022 is available: MCI®-2022 V/O, specifically designed for vertical and overhead applications. A UV tracer may be added if desired. Please request product MCI®-2022 UV.

Where to use

• All reinforced, precast, prestressed, post-tensioned, or marine concrete structures  
• Steel-reinforced concrete bridges, highways, and streets exposed to corrosive environments  
• Parking decks, ramps, and garages  
• All reinforced marine concrete structures  
• Concrete piers, piles, pillars, pipes, and utility poles  
• Restoration and repair of all reinforced concrete commercial and civil engineered structures

Advantages

• MCI®-2022 protects against the harmful effects of corrosion by migrating into even the densest concrete  
• Migratory inhibitor reduces further corrosion of the most rusted metals  
• VOC compliant  
• Easily applied by spray, roller, squeegee, or paint brush to any concrete surface reducing the high cost of labor and equipment  
• Non-toxic, contains no nitrites, phosphates, or solvents  
• Water-based and non-flammable for easy handling  
• Penetrates deep into concrete for anode and cathode protection  
• Enhances the durability of reinforced concrete and increases surface abrasion resistance
• Blocks carbonation and chloride ion intrusion  
• Allows concrete to breathe and vapor to diffuse, is not a vapor barrier  
• Helps protect against acid and chemical attack 
• No blushing, peeling, or yellowing  
• Resistant to alkali attack
