Description
DCI® corrosion inhibitor is a liquid admixture meeting the requirements of ASTM C1582, which is added to concrete during the batching process. It chemically inhibits the corrosive action of chlorides on reinforcing steel and prestressed strands in concrete. It also promotes strength development of the concrete while meeting ASTM C494 requirements as a Type C admixture.
One gallon of DCI® weighs approximately 10.7 lbs (one liter of DCI® weighs approximately 1.28 kg ± 0.01 kg). DCI® contains a minimum of 30% calcium nitrite.
Benefits
- Chemically inhibits the corrosive action of chlorides on reinforcing steel and prestressed strands in concrete
- Extends the service life of structures in a de-icing salt and marine environment
- Cost effective solution to the control of reinforcing steel chloride-induced corrosion
- Accelerates the set of concrete, which would allow DCI® to be used as a concrete set accelerator
