MasterProtect 8500 CI: state-of-the-art protection for steel reinforcement

Master Builders Solutions® launches MasterProtect 8500 CI, a new corrosion inhibitor developed by BASF scientists after years of research and testing to enhance and complement the wide range of solutions for concrete renovation and repair.

MasterProtect 8500 CI is a silane-based dual phase corrosion inhibitor that can be applied to the surface of all types of reinforced concrete structures, both new and existing, without changing the appearance of the concrete.

The dual functionality of MasterProtect 8500 CI allows the product to stand out from the many existing inhibitors on the market: its revolutionary combination of high-performance silanes combined with selective corrosion inhibitors guarantees long-term protection of concrete structures, making them last longer. The unique added value of MasterProtect 8500 CI is that it provides protection even when cracks appear after application, as has been proven in several independent tests.

In addition, MasterProtect 8500 CI has very low viscosity to improve penetration into concrete over a wide temperature range, lower VOC content and higher flash point. All this combined makes product handling and application much easier and safer than many other inhibitors.
