In Watchem ANTICOR, Calcium Nitrite is an active ingredient which reacts chemically to interrupt chloride induced corrosion. Watchem ANTICOR interacts with the surface of reinforcing steel to form an effective barrier which prevents chlorides in the concrete from attacking the steel and thereby protecting the steel reinforcement from corroding. |
