Cortec MCI®-2020 M

Product Description

MCI-2020 M is a surface-applied corrosion inhibitor designed to migrate through concrete structures and seek out steel reinforcing bars embedded in concrete. This product protects carbon steel, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum.

MCI-2020 M provides effective protection to metals due to enhanced film-forming properties, reducing further corrosion on reinforcing metals and extending the service life of the structure.

A high viscosity version of MCI-2020 M is available: MCI-2020 M V/O specifically designed for vertical and overhead application.

Where to use

MCI-2020 M is recommended for:

• All reinforced, precast, prestressed, post-tensioned, or marine concrete structures
• Steel reinforced concrete bridges, highways, and streets exposed to corrosive environments (carbonation, deicing salts, and atmospheric attack) 
• Parking decks, ramps, and garages 
• Preventive maintenance of all reinforced concrete commercial and civil engineered structures 
• Concrete piers, dams, offshore platforms, piles, pillars, pipes, and utility poles  
• Restoration and repair of all reinforced concrete commercial and civil engineered structures 
• Buildings and foundations of all types

Advantages

• Offers engineers, owners, contractors, DOTs, and government agencies a time-proven corrosion inhibiting technology that will extend the life of all reinforced concrete structures in high concentration of chloride •  
• Protects against the harmful effects of corrosion by migrating into even the densest concrete
• The migratory inhibitor reduces active corrosion of metals in high chloride environments   
• Easily applied by spray, roller, squeegee, or paint brush to any concrete surface, reducing the high cost of labor and equipment
• Does not contain any calcium nitrite    
• Water-based and non-flammable for easy handling   
• Does not require the removal of sound concrete 
• Organic, safe, and environmentally friendly 
• Allows concrete to “breathe” and vapor to diffuse, is not a vapor barrier
• Protects both anodic and cathodic areas 
• Proven to migrate to adjacent areas to protect surrounding metals 
• No cure time is required - traffic may resume minutes after application if necessary  
• MCI-2020 M is NSF Standard 61 approved for potable water applications (certified by Underwriters Laboratories)

Protection : 150 ft2/gal (3.68 m2/l)
