Margel / X – Roc VPI 580
Margel/X-Roc VPI 580 is a patented vapour phase corrosion inhibitor which is inserted inside the concrete structure close to the reinforcing steel. The product has been specifically developed to ensure the corrosion inhibitors are released over a period of 12 months. This results in a well bonded layer of corrosion inhibitor around the reinforcing steel resulting in a passivated protective layer that blocks chloride, water and oxygen that can last up to 20 years.
Advantages

- Timed release.
Uses
Margel/X-Roc VPI 580 is used in reinforced concrete structure that have started to show signs of corrosion activity or in structures that have been repaired at which the adjacent concrete will be subject to corrosion from the ‘ring anode’ effect.
