New and Existing Reinforced Concrete Construction

 

MCI® Technology for Reinforced Concrete

MPG offers a full line of Cortec® MCI® (Migrating Corrosion Inhibitor™) Technologies that are specially formulated to protect new and existing steel reinforced concrete structures from corrosion. Often, corroding rebar in deteriorating concrete is the cause of costly repairs, financial losses, injuries, and even deaths. MCI® greatly extends the service life of new and existing structures by proactively delaying the onset of corrosion and keeping rates low after initiation. Cortec®

MCI® products maintain structural integrity, rehabilitate vulnerable structures, and alleviate environmental concerns.

Roads and bridges are constantly deteriorating through heavy daily use exacerbated by harsh coastal or winter environments. Many concrete and metal bridge structures are aging and nearing the end of their service life. Some are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. Maintenance, repair, and replacement are expensive and time consuming. Cortec® stands ready to help with economical treatments that prevent rust, stop existing rust, and extend the service life of roads and bridges.
