Cortec MCI®-2040 High Performance Vertical/Overhead Repair Mortar

Product Description

MCI ® -2040 is a singlecomponent, fast-setting, highstrength, cement-based repair mortar that is enhanced with Migrating Corrosion Inhibitors (MCI®). It is an easy-to-handle patching material for fast-paced repair jobs. As part of Cortec’s HPRS ® (High Performance Repair System), MCI®-2040 offers corrosion protection to reinforcing metals both in the patch and in the surrounding areas. This increases the quality and extends the service life of the repair and surrounding structure.

How it works

MCI®-2040 is specifically designed for vertical and overhead repairs. Migrating Corrosion Inhibitors in the repair mortar penetrate the substrate and even out corrosion potentials between patched areas and nearby concrete. Once applied and hardened, MCI®-2040 provides a high level of adhesion and durability, as well as resistance to water and carbonation attack.
