How to Slow Down Corrosion with MCI® in High Temp GCC States

Why Is Corrosion Such a Problem in GCC States?#
How MCI® Can Help#
®®®
New Construction or Facility Maintenance?#
Adding MCI® from the start is an excellent way to protect against corrosion in high chloride, high temperature GCC coastal environments. MCI® Technology can be applied to new structures as a concrete admixture such as MCI®-2005, a USDA Certified Biobased Product that does not accelerate set time (unlike calcium nitrite, which can make the concrete mix extremely difficult to work with in hot weather). However, existing structures never enhanced with MCI® can still benefit from an MCI® surface applied corrosion inhibitor (SACI) applied during repair or routine application of a water repellent. MCI®-2020 offers the highest concentration of MCI® SACIs and should be followed by the application of a water repellent or other sealing material (be sure to check compatibility). For the convenience of two-in-one application, MCI®- 2018 combines MCI® with a 100% silane water repellent for dual protection against the elements.

The Logical Choice to Extend Service Life#
The high temperatures and corrosive environments of the GCC are unavoidable. The only answer is to build structures in a way that will slow down the corrosion process and thereby extend service life. MCI® makes the most economical and practical sense for that purpose and has a long track record of use in the GCC.
