 Technology Profile

Title:

Inhibitor Solution

Value Proposition:

The developed corrosion inhibitor solution aims to provide an efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable method for protecting steel reinforcement in concrete structures by significantly reducing corrosion, enhancing durability, and extending service life, thereby minimizing maintenance costs and improving structural reliability.

Summary Application:

Used for corrosion protection of steel reinforcement in concrete structures such as buildings, bridges, marine and coastal infrastructure, and repair/rehabilitation works, thereby enhancing durability and extending service life.

Advantages:
  • The inhibitor mixture can be easily incorporated into building construction.
  • It does not adversely affect the bond between steel and concrete.
  • The required chemicals are readily available indigenously.
  • The treatment cost is less than 20%, compared to several proprietary additives, which typically cost around 50% of the cost of cement.
