Coru CIT
CORU CIT
Corrosion Preventive and Repair Inhibitor
CORU CIT penetrates the concrete surface, preventing the entry of oxygen and moisture into the concrete. It inhibits the electrochemical corrosion between reinforcing steel and chloride ions. Through the action of organofunctional silane molecules, it prevents and treats corrosion.
Suitable Application Areas:
- In-situ cast reinforced concrete structures, precasts, post-tensioned concrete structures, glass fiber-reinforced concretes (GFRC), pre-stressed or other steel reinforced concrete structures,
- Used on parking lots, facades, balconies, walkways, piers, bridge decks, beams, columns, and steel-reinforced concrete structures,
- Ideal for areas near the sea, exposed to high concentrations of sea salt, and high relative humidity environments.
FEATURES
- Prevents corrosion in carbon and galvanized steels.
- It is used both in marine structures and in environments with high humidity.
- It is easy to apply.
- It is effective in concrete that has been severely damaged due to high levels of chloride.
- It is effective in concrete exposed to carbonation.
- It is a vapor stabilizer.
- It dries quickly.
- Prevents the entry of chlorine ions.
APPLICATION
- Coru CIT should be applied several times on repaired areas and all concrete surfaces. The waiting time between coats should be at least 15 minutes (or until dry). In many applications, it is recommended to apply two or three coats with a consumption of 180-230 ml/m2 per coat. The exact Coru CIT consumption depends on the current corrosion rate level and the chloride ion level to which the structure is exposed in its surroundings. Coru CIT is applied to the concrete surface with a wet type spray nozzle by means of a low pressure pump. Another widely used alternative method is to apply by roller, brush or pouring (for example by pouring on the crack). Do not add any other chemical to the product. Do not apply to wet and damp surfaces. The application temperature should be between +5°C and +35°C. Consult the Technical Service Department for application conditions under higher or lower temperatures. If it is likely to rain within the first 4 hours after the application of Coru CIT, do not apply in such cases or provide the necessary environment for the application. The application surface must be dry, similar to the first application. Depending on weather conditions, the surface should be cleaned with rain or water within the first 24 to 72 hours and left dry.
STORAGE, PACKAGING, CONSUMPTION
- In unopened original packaging, at least 12 months from date of production.
