MasterProtect 8000CI - Advanced corrosion inhibitor treatment for steel-reinforced concrete

What is MasterProtect 8000CI?

MasterProtect 8000CI is a single component ready to use, low viscosity clear liquid which combines the proven effectiveness of penetrative silane treatments with the control of moisture and chloride ion ingress with advanced organo-functional corrosion inhibition.

How does MasterProtect 8000CI work?

MasterProtect 8000CI is a surface-applied clear liquid that penetrates concrete and provides an organofunctional molecule to inhibit the electrochemical corrosion process between the rebar and the chloride ions, oxygen and moisture in the concrete.

Where is MasterProtect 8000CI recommended to use?

MasterProtect 8000CI is suited for all types of reinforced concrete including cast insitu, precast concrete and post-tensioned and pre-stressed concrete as well as any other types of reinforced concrete.

It is particularly suited to the protection of:

Marine environments with high relative humidity and areas where deicer salts are used. Examples include jetties, harbor walls, wharfs, and piers
Highway structures - Bridge superstructure, decks, support piers and soffits
Rail infrastructure - Bridges and tunnels
Power plants - Flue gas chimneys, cooling towers seawater intakes and outfalls and coal hoppers
Commercial buildings and residential buildings - Beams, columns, and reinforced concrete walls
Car parks - Parking decks and all other structural elements
Water management structures - Sewage settlement tanks, aeration tanks, potable water tanks, reservoirs

What makes MasterProtect 8000CI a unique solution?

Vapor-permeated - Will not entrap moisture
Effective in both marine and high humidity environments to mitigate corrosion of rebar even in structures subjected to a high relative humidity environment
Easy to apply surface treatment that penetrates the concrete and chemically bonds with steel, cement paste and other siliceous material present in the concrete to inhibit macrocell (mat-to-mat) and microcell (along rebar) corrosion of steel-reinforced concrete
Inhibits the corrosion of carbon and galvanized steel rebar

How can you benefit from MasterProtect 8000CI?

The benefits of MasterProtect 8000CI includes:

Significantly reduces chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcement in concrete - Extends the service life of a concrete structure
Reduces the corrosion of the reinforcement in concrete suffering from carbonation - Increases the time until the first maintenance
Reduces chloride ingress - Prevents diffusion of waterborne chlorides to the reinforcing steel
Penetrates into the concrete as an impregnation - MasterProtect 8000 CI is not effected by abrasion of the structures surface, hence providing a long service life in aggressive conditions
Chemically bonds to steel, cement paste and other siliceous materials - Will not wash out or leach during wetting or drying cycles when applied to marine structures ensuring extended active life
Vapour permeable treatment - Allows the concrete structure to breathe
Faster installation time - Dries quickly and is easy to apply
Normally does not require removal prior to additional coating applications - Less labor to apply as compared to other corrosion inhibitors
