SW-Prevent

ORGANIC, SURFACE APPLIED CORROSION INHIBITOR FOR USE ON HARDENED CONCRETE

SW-Prevent is an organic, surface applied corrosion inhibitor for use on hardened concrete. It is designed to protect reinforcing steel in concrete from corrosion by penetrating the  concrete surface and migrating, in liquid and vapor form, to the reinforcing steel. SW-Prevent forms a passivating film on the steel surface which provides protection from the corrosion process, thereby extending the service life of the structure.

USES

• Reinforced, precast, prestressed, or post-tensioned concrete structures.
• Seawalls.
• Bulkheads.
• Earth retention walls.
• Captain's walks.
• Concrete piers.

ADVANTAGES

This formula makes for an outstanding one part corrosion inhibitor for hardened steel  reinforced concretes – old and new. With proven laboratory and site performance, our product can be applied to a variety of surfaces. The formula is also environmentally friendly, breathable, extremely durable, and penetrates easily. Once applied, it can not be peeled or scratched off of the original surface and can be painted, coated, or overlaid as needed.

SPECIAL FEATURES

SW-Prevent is a vapor-phase corrosion inhibitor (VCI) for concrete. It penetrates easily as gas and affects steel properties at both the anodic and cathodic sites. Due to high penetrative ability minimal or no surface removal is required for the SW-Prevent to be  highly effective at the rebar depth. SW-Prevent is especially effective in areas of corrosion “hot spots” and instances of chloride induced corrosion. For maximum  corrosion protection SW-Prevent is recommended for use in combination with SW-Power.
