MCI®-2020 Gel

Description: MCI®-2020 Gel is an injectable corrosion inhibitor which provides a robust dose of corrosion protection directly at the depth of steel reinforcement in concrete. MCI®-2020 Gel utilizes the timeproven chemistry of Cortec’s Migrating Corrosion Inhibitor™ (MCI®) Technology to migrate to steel reinforcement from injection locations. Once at the reinforcing steel, MCI® molecules deposit across the metal surface to form a monomolecular layer which acts as a barrier to corrosive elements such as chlorides. MCI®-2020 Gel utilizes the same time-proven inhibitor formulation as the classic MCI®- 2020 liquid, but with added thickener to increase ease of use and reliability in injection applications.

Application: Utilize desired hole size and fill depth to plan the spacing on the structure in question. For columns and beams, hole spacing should be half of the standard spacing. Drill holes to the level of the targeted steel reinforcement with a minimum depth of 2” (51 mm) for a 1” fill or 3” (76 mm) for a 2” (51 mm) fill. Space holes according to the recommended spacing and stagger consecutive rows by half of this value (see standard hole spacing example). Center the application area such that the maximum distance from the edge of the protected area is 9” (230 mm). Clean the holes with oil-free compressed air for a minimum of 2 seconds to prepare the hole for injection.

Package and Storage: MCI®-2020 Gel is available in 10.3 oz. (304 mL) caulking tubes, 5 gallon (19 liter) pails, 55 gallon (208 liter) drums, liquid totes, and bulk. To ensure best product performance, store in original packaging, indoors, and out of direct sunlight at 40-100 °F (4-38 °C).
Shelf life: 2 years
