Cortec MCI® POWR 40

Product Description

MCI® Powr 40 is a penetrating, water-based, alkylalkoxy silane containing Cortec’s migrating corrosion inhibitor technology. MCI® Powr 40 is specifically designed to protect new and existing concrete structures against the damaging effects of moisture intrusion, freeze/ thaw scaling, chloride-ion (salt) intrusion, and oil and water staining.

Packaging & Storage

When stored in original, airtight containers at or below 77°F (25°C), MCI® Powr 40 has a shelf life of 12 months from the date of shipment. MCI® Powr 40 is available in 5 gallon (19 liter) pails and 55 gallon (208 liter) drums.

How it works

MCI® Powr 40 penetrates the concrete and provides water repellency by chemically reacting with the cementitious substrate under proper application. Treated substrates are hydrophobic and retain their original appearance.

Once applied, MCI® Powr 40 not only provides water repellency, but protects concrete from oil and water staining. Its Migratory Corrosion Inhibitor action allows this product to penetrate to embedded reinforcement where it forms a protective, monomolecular, corrosion inhibiting layer.

Where to use

• Bridges  
• Floors Exposed to Oils/Grease/Water (Automotive Service Centers, Commercial Kitchens, etc.)  
• Highways  
• Parking Decks

Advantages

MCI® Powr 40 offers engineers, owners, contractors, DOTs, and government agencies a time proven, corrosion inhibiting technology that will extend the life of all reinforced concrete structures.

• Oil and water resistant within 24 hours  
• Synergistic corrosion protection – seals surface and penetrates to embedded reinforcement  
• MCI® molecules reduce further corrosion of rusted metals  
• Easily applied by spray, brush, roller, or squeegee  
• Non-toxic, contains no nitrites, phosphates, or chromates  
• Small molecule size allows for deep penetration in concrete and other cementitious substrates
• Increases surface abrasion resistance  
• Blocks carbonation and chloride ion intrusion  
• Resistant to alkali attack  
• Helps protect against acid and chemical attack  
• Allows concrete to breathe; is not a vapor barrier  
• No blushing, peeling, or yellowing
