Corrosion Inhibiting Admixture

ARSET CORROSTOP

ARSET CORROSTOP is an additive material consisting of organic and inorganic materials that slows down the formation of corrosion in the reinforcement in concrete. Thanks to the efficiency of the components in the additive material, the molecules dissipate and cover the pores in the concrete, at the same time they form a protective layer that prevents corrosion by covering the steel reinforcement. Depending on the structure of the concrete, it shows properties that slow down or prevent corrosion.

Use guidance

From selection
to application.

01

Application

ARSTEP CORROSTOP is added to the concrete mixture after 70% of the mixing water is used. Since ARSET CORROSTOP contains water and the addition of admixture will increase the total concrete water / cement ratio, the concrete mixture water should be reduced in the ready-mixed concrete plant and the mixture design should be done accordingly.

02

Dosage

It is used at a rate of 2.0 - 6.0% of the total amount of binder. Optimum utilization rate should be determined according to laboratory trials.

Storage

Shelf life is 12 months from the date of production when stored in original unopened and undamaged packages (drums, barrels, IBC containers) at temperatures between +5 °C and +35 °C, protecting from direct sunlight, excessive heat and frost. If the product has waited for a long time, make it homogeneous by mixing slowly at low speed with mechanical methods before using the product. Some subsidence may occur during long-term storage. In this case, the product can be used by filtering. Make sure that the product does not freeze.
