Chloride attack
Chloride ions from deicing salts or marine exposure are carried into
the concrete in solution in water. At the steel surface, even in alkaline
concrete, they attack and break down the passivating layer and then ac-
celerate the steel corrosion process.

CORROSION MANAGEMENT WITH
Sika FerroGard TECHNOLOGY
DESCRIPTION
Sika FerroGard-903 Plus is:
a unique blend of non toxic, organic corrosion inhibitor based on amino alcohol and salts of
amino alcohol technology, designed for use as an impregnation on hardened reinforced con-
crete.
a multifunctional inhibitor which controls the cathodic and anodic reactions. This dual action
effect significantly retards both the onset and the rate of corrosion and increases the time to
future maintenance.
normally applied as part of a corrosion management strategy. It is compatible and a compo-
nent of all the Sika concrete repair and protection systems.
