MCI-2040 High Performance Vertical/Overhead Repair Mortar
MCI-2040 High Performance Vertical/Overhead Repair Mortar is a single-component, fast-setting, high-strength, cement-based repair mortar that is enhanced with Migrating Corrosion Inhibitors. It offers corrosion protection to reinforcing metals both in the patch and in the surrounding areas. Migrating Corrosion Inhibitors in the concrete repair mortar penetrate the substrate and even out corrosion potentials between patched areas and nearby concrete. This slows down the ring-anode/halo effect in surrounding concrete. Once applied and hardened, MCI-2040 provides a high level of adhesion and durability, as well as resistance to water and carbonation attack. This increases the quality and extends the service life of the repair and surrounding structure.
The improved MCI-2040 is another component of Cortec’s High Performance Repair System, which helps concrete repairs last longer by inhibiting corrosion and reducing the risk of the insidious ring-anode effect. It has extended the protective qualities of MCI-2041 (horizontal repair mortar) to vertical and overhead surfaces.
MCI-2040 is an easy-to-handle patching material for fast-paced repair jobs. It offers quick turnaround due to high early strength and can be applied like normal repair mortars, but without the need for bonding agents. MCI-2040 is specifically designed for vertical and overhead repairs, greatly increasing the potential use for MCI repair mortar and offering enhanced flexibility for contractors.
