Sika® FerroGard®-903 Plus is a surface corrosion inhibitor application for steel reinforcement of reinforced concrete structures, designed for use with impregnation.
It is based on organic ingredients. It penetrates the concrete and forms a single-layer protective layer on the surface of the steel reinforcement.
It has a dual function, both by inhibiting the onset of corrosion and by reducing the corrosion rate of steel reinforcement. Anti-corrosion protection with the Sika® FerroGard®-903 Plus results in an extended service life of up to 15 years when used as part of the Sika Integrated Repair and Protection System.
- Complies with method 11.3 (application of corrosion inhibitor in concrete) as defined in EN 1504-9, Principle 11 (ascent control)
- It does not alter the appearance of the concrete structure
- It does not change the ability to diffuse water vapor
- Long lasting protection and durability
- It can be applied on the surface of existing repairs and in neighboring repair areas as a precautionary measure against the rising phenomenon before it starts
- Double protection action, both of the descent (Principle 9) and the ascent (Principle 11) of the steel reinforcement
- It can be applied where other repair / preventive protection methods are not feasible.
- Economical extension of the life of reinforced concrete structures
- Easy, economical application, renewable
- In accordance with the new TES legislation (Classification - Labeling - Packaging, GHS / CLP)
- It can be used as part of a simple and efficient repair and protection system
- Penetration depth can be measured on site in the project using Sika's "Quality Control Analysis" device. Contact the company's Technical Department for more details.
Applications:
- For anti-corrosion protection of steel reinforcement of underground and aboveground reinforced concrete structures
- For the repair and maintenance of reinforced concrete structures (without obvious signs of damage), where the steel reinforcement is corroded or at risk of corrosion due to the effects of the phenomenon of carbonation or the infiltration of chlorides.
- Sika® FerroGard®-903 Plus is especially useful for extending the life of concrete structures with surfaces of high aesthetic value (visible concrete, structures of historical interest).
