Cortec MCI®-2020 Powder

Product Description

MCI®-2020 Powder is a watersoluble migratory corrosion inhibitor for the treatment of existing concrete structures. It is designed to migrate through even the densest of structures and seek out embedded steel reinforcing bars. MCI®-2020 Powder also protects a multitude of other metals including carbon steel, galvanized steel and aluminum. The unique feature of Migrating Corrosion Inhibitors (MCI®) is that even if not in direct contact with metals, the inhibitor will migrate a considerable distance through concrete to provide protection. MCI®-2020 Powder will reduce corrosion of reinforcing metals and extend the service life of the structure. A special version of MCI®-2020 Powder - MCI®-2020 V/O Powder is designed for vertical and overhead applications

Packaging & Storage

MCI®-2020 Powder and MCI®- 2020 V/O Powder are available in 100 pound (45 kg) bags. One 100 lb drum (45 kg) will yield 55 gallons (208 liters) of ready-touse MCI®-2020 liquid.

Where to use

MCI®-2020 Powder is recommended for:

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

Advantages

MCI®-2020 Powder offers engineers, owners, contractors, DOTs, and government agencies a time proven corrosion inhibiting technology that will extend the life of all reinforced concrete structures:

• Protects against the harmful effects of corrosion by migrating into even in the densest concrete  
• Migratory inhibitors reduce further corrosion of rusted metals  
• Once diluted, 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-soluble and non-flammable for easy handling  
• Does not require the removal of sound concrete 
• Organic, safe, and environmentally friendly 
• Enhances the durability of reinforced concrete  
• Lab and field tested worldwide  
• Allows concrete to breathe and vapor to diffuse, is not a vapor barrier
• Protects both anodic and cathodic areas of reinforcing steel (or metal)  
• Proven to migrate and protect reinforced concrete in adjacent areas  
• No cure time is required - traffic may resume minutes after application if necessary  
• Non-hazardous, 100% concentrated product, thus economical and convenient for all types of transportation  
• UV tracers can be added to confirm application
