Chemrite - CNI

CHEMRITE CNI
Corrosion inhibiting admixture for concrete
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Product Chemrite-CNI is an admixture designed to inhibit
Description the corrosion of steel in reinforced concrete.
In the high alkalinity of concrete, reinforcing steel
builds up a natural passivation layer. This layer
protects the steel from corrosion. This passive ferric
oxide layer however can be damaged by the
presence of moisture and oxygen which will lead to
corrosion of the steel.
Chemrite-CNI provides the passivating protective
layer.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Uses Chemrite-CNI is especially suitable for reinforced
concrete subjected to danger of corrosion. It
specifically protects from chloride induced
corrosion. Fields of application are:
- Concrete roads
- Bridges
- Tunnels
- Retaining walls
- Industrial plants
- Park decks in multi storey car parks etc.
- Massive structure
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Advantages Chemrite-CNI is a corrosion-inhibiting admixture
that provides protection against corrosion in
reinforced concrete structures.
Chemrite-CNI extends the service life of
reinforced concrete structures.
It is recommended for use in all types of reinforced
concrete, precast and /or prestressed concrete as
well as ready mix applications.

Application Details
__________________________________________________________________
Dosage The recommended dosage rate will vary between
0.5-1.0 Lit/m3 of concrete, depending on the
severity of the corrosion environment.
__________________________________________________________________
Dispensing Measure the required quantity manually or by
automated dispenser. Add Chemrite-CNI directly
into the freshly mixed concrete at the end of the
batching cycle. When used in combination with
other admixtures, care must be taken to dispense
each admixture separately into the mix.
Mix water adjustment is necessary to account for
the water in Chemrite-CNI and thus, maintain the
required water/cement ratio.
__________________________________________________________________
Concrete Placing The standard rules of good concreting practice
(production as well as placing) must also be
observed when using Chemrite-CNI concrete.
__________________________________________________________________
Curing Fresh concrete must be cured properly, especially at
high temperatures in order to prevent plastic and
drying shrinkage.
