Protectosil CIT – Corrosion Inhibitor for Reinforced Concrete
Protectosil CIT is a high-performance, organofunctional silane corrosion inhibitor designed to protect steel-reinforced concrete in even the most aggressive environments. Applied undiluted, this clear liquid penetrates deeply into the concrete substrate, forming a vapor-permeable barrier that dramatically reduces chloride and water uptake. This advanced chemistry inhibits the electrochemical corrosion process between rebar, chloride ions, oxygen, and moisture, helping extend the service life of both new and existing structures.
Key Benefits of Protectosil CIT
- Dramatically reduces chloride-induced corrosion
- Highly reactive and alkali-resistant formulation
- Forms a colorless, vapor-permeable barrier
- Deep concrete penetration for long-lasting protection
- Effective in marine and deicing salt environments
- Inhibits macrocell and microcell corrosion
- Equalizes electrochemical potential in patch repairs
- Meets EN 1504-2 and 1504-9 standards
Common Applications
- All types of steel-reinforced concrete
- New or existing concrete structures
- Chloride-contaminated concrete
- Marine and coastal environments
- Structures with deicing salt exposure (jetties, piers, decks, balconies, walkways, bridge decks, beams, columns)
- Carbonated concrete steel-reinforced structures
