CHRYSOCI 2005
Corrosion Inhibiting Concrete Admixture
Technical Datasheet
Features
CHRYSO CI 2005 is based on Calcium Nitrite, which interacts with
the structural steel in concrete to prevent chloride attack.
CHRYSO CI 2005 chemically reacts with steel to maintain a
passivating layer when chlorides penetrate the concrete,
significantly delaying the rate of corrosion.
Benefits
CHRYSO CI 2005 increases life of all reinforced concrete
structures.
CHRYSO CI 2005 chemically inhibits the corrosive action of
chlorides on all reinforcing steel and pre-stressing tendons.
Can be used in conjunction with other admixtures, but should be
added to the mix separately and must not be mixed together prior to
addition.
CHRYSO CI 2005 is a Water based & non-flammable, therefore
safe to use.
Offers Owners, Clients, Engineers and Govt. Bodies, a time-
proven, corrosion inhibiting technology that will extend life of all
reinforced concrete structures.
Areas of Application
When used in fresh concrete mixes, CHRYSO CI 2005 will seek
out and form a corrosion inhibiting protective layer on metals.
Project specifications will determine addition rates, which should
be pre-determined following projected chloride ion ingress over
the life span of the structure.
Preliminary tests should always be carried out to determine
the effects on the concrete mix design.
1. All reinforced concrete used in Foundation , Ground Floors, Split
slabs, Car decks, Inverted roofs, Basements, Underground
Tunnels, etc. .
2. All reinforced precast, pre-stressed, post-tensioned or marine
concrete structures.
3. Concrete substructures in marine environment / splash zones,
water reservoirs, swimming pools.
4. Pre-cast and all steel reinforced concrete structures exposed to
de-icing salts and corrosive environment such as carbonation and
atmospheric attack.
5. Industrial concrete structures with sulphur vapor
6. Concrete mixed with chloride water.
7. Cooling Towers, Plant & Factory floors subject to chemical and /
or acid attack.
8. Preventive maintenance, Restoration and repair of all reinforced
concrete structures, when utilizing proprietary repair mortars.
