Concrete corrosion is one of the leading causes of structural deterioration in reinforced concrete. Chloride ingress, carbonation, and environmental exposure gradually compromise concrete, threatening safety and increasing maintenance costs.
Utilising over 100 years experience, Sika‘s range of premium performance solutions deliver corrosion management for concrete that is supported with the expertise and guidance required to safeguard the refurbishment and protection of buildings and infrastructure.
Sika’s Total Corrosion Management (TCM) Approach
Our TCM approach combines innovative products and systems to assess, prevent, and repair concrete corrosion. Every solution is tailored to the structure, environment, and project needs.
Concrete Repair Mortars: Restore structural integrity and aesthetics. Options: hand-applied, spray-applied, and flowable repair mortars.
Corrosion Inhibitors: Actively slow down corrosion in steel reinforcement Example Products: Sika® FerroGard®-903+, Sika® Margel VPI-580. Ideal for new and existing structures.
Galvanic Anodes: Embedded sacrificial anodes protect reinforcing steel. Example Product: Sika® Galvashield® XP
Cathodic Protection Systems: Impressed current systems for critical, heavily exposed structures. Continuous monitoring ensures long-term performance.
