Cortec MCI®-2020 M SC

Product Description

MCI-2020 M SC is a super concentrated surfaceapplied 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 SC provides effective protection to metal due to enhanced film-forming properties, reducing further corrosion on metals and extending the service life of the structure.

MCI-2020 M SC is also available with a blue fugitive dye (MCI-2020 M SC BFD) which helps to easily identify treated areas. 

Where to use

MCI-2020 M SC 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   
• NSF Standard 61 approved for potable water applications (certified by Underwriters Laboratories) once diluted with water at a 1:1 ratio.

Packaging and Storage
