Protection against chloride

Reinforced-concrete structures, such as bridges, tunnels and parking facilities, are exposed to aggressive and damaging processes of chloride. When these damages are not detected early and not stopped, cost-intensive restoration or perhaps even demolition of the affected structures is inevitable. MC-KKS/B is a fast-acting as well as time- and cost-efficient method for reinstating structures damaged by chloride attack. The patented and largely non-destructive system solution from MC-Bauchemie and Grillo-Werke AG makes use of the principles of cathodic corrosion protection (KKS) and helps to...
