Description

Mapeshield CI 100 is a surface-applied corrosion inhibitor designed to penetrate concrete structures and protect embedded steel reinforcement. It forms a protective layer on the surface of the steel reinforcing bar to inhibit corrosion caused by carbonation, the presence of chlorides and other contaminants in the concrete (such as deposits from acid rain and industrial pollution), and helps to prevent additional cracking and spalling in the future. Mapeshield CI 100 can be applied by spray, brush or roller. By diffusing into the hardened pore structure of concrete to the steel reinforcing bars, Mapeshield CI 100 delays the corrosion process and reduces overall corrosion activity.

Features and Benefits

• Environmentally friendly with its water-based, nonflammable formula
• Helps to passivate embedded steel against corrosion by penetrating into concrete
• Reduces existing corrosion, enhancing the durability of reinforced concrete
• Compatible with MAPEI repair mortars
• Not a vapor barrier; allows concrete to breathe
• Applied by roller, brush or spray
• Does not require removal of good-quality concrete

Uses

• Steel-reinforced concrete such as in bridges, highways and parking structures
• Marine structures, such as piers, piles and concrete docks
• Concrete-framed building facades and balconies
• Tunnels and other underground structures
• Wastewater treatment tanks
• Concrete pipes and utility poles
