PRODUCT DATA SHEET

ADDMIX ™ 109 PCCI

ADDMIX 109 PCCI is a bipolar concrete penetrating corrosion inhibiting admixture (CPCIA) to protect embedded steel
reinforcement in concrete from corrosion.

Specification:
Reinforced concrete has been widely used in the last century, however due to aggressive agents such as carbonic gas and
chloride ions, it suffers premature deterioration. The concrete is a physical barrier that protects steel from corrosion, and the
alkalinity of concrete leads to the formation of a passive layer around the reinforcement, which increases protection against
corrosive processes. However, concrete is a porous material and has cracks that allow the entrance of aggressive agents,
destabilizing the passive layer and corroding the steel. Corrosion is the major cause of deterioration of concrete structures
and several methods like ADDMIX 109 PCCI of protection and repair have been developed to increase the durability of such
structures and ADDMIX 109 PCCI is preferred solution. Corrosion inhibitors, chemical substances that reduce the corrosion
rate, have been widely used, both for prevention and correction. It is very important to know the different types of inhibitors for
correct use, thus increasing the life span of reinforced concrete structures. The most effective and nontoxic corrosion inhibitor
ADDMIX 109 PCCI provides unique protection by the virtue of diffusion through the concrete. This product conforms to RDSO
specification: M&C/PCN/126/2020, and EIL norms.

Uses:
 Underground structures
 Metros
 Bridges
 Jetties
 Industrial ETP & STP water retaining structures
 Cooling Towers
 Power Plants
 Buildings.

Mechanism:
High Potency molecules of ADDMIX 109 PCCI (liquid) by virtue of its ability to diffuse within the concrete surround the rebar
at periphery of the concrete. This provides first line of defense against chloride ions at the point of entry. Upon deposition on
reinforcement and saturating the immediate concrete, ADDMIX 109 PCCI protects the structure against corrosion.

Dosage:
1 Kg of ADDMIX 109 PCCI per cubic meter of concrete.

Observation: It is important to note that by addition of ADDMIX 109 PCCI inhibitor, the Compressive Strength of
Mortar slightly increases when compared to the control mortar i.e. without inhibitor system.

Storage and Shelf life All:

Store under cover, out of direct sunlight and protect from extremes of temperature. In tropical climates the product must be
storedin an air-conditioned environment. Shelf life is 12 months when stored as above.

Safety precautions:
As with all chemical products, care should be taken during use and storage to avoid contact with eyes, mouth, skin, and
foodstuffs (which can also be tainted with vapor until product is fully cured or dried). Treat splashes to eyes and skin
immediately. If accidentallyingested, seek immediate medical attention. Keep away from children and animals.
