Corrosion of steel reinforcement remains one of the most persistent challenges affecting the durability and service life of reinforced concrete structures, particularly in aggressive environments. Infrastructure such as bridges, metros, railways, marine structures, housing, and industrial facilities are constantly exposed to chlorides, moisture, carbonation, and oxygen – conditions that accelerate steel corrosion and lead to premature structural distress.
CLEANFLO – STEELCARE-2000 is a Bipolar Concrete Penetrating Corrosion Inhibiting (BPCI) admixture developed to address this challenge. Designed in compliance with RDSO specifications for long-term durability of reinforced concrete structures, the product offers a scientifically validated approach to corrosion protection and lifecycle cost optimization.
Developed using advanced bipolar inhibitor chemistry, CLEANFLO – STEELCARE-2000 penetrates deeply into concrete and actively migrates towards embedded steel reinforcement. Unlike conventional inhibitors that act only on the steel surface, this technology protects both anodic and cathodic sites, significantly reducing corrosion activity over extended periods.
Bipolar Concrete Penetrating Corrosion Inhibitor Technology
CLEANFLO – STEELCARE-2000 works by forming a molecular-level protective barrier around reinforcing steel while simultaneously modifying the electrochemical corrosion mechanism. Its bipolar nature enables it to suppress corrosion reactions at both anodic and cathodic zones, resulting in a substantial reduction in corrosion current density.
The inhibitor penetrates hardened concrete and migrates towards reinforcement even after placement, ensuring long-term protection without affecting concrete strength, workability, or steel-concrete bond. The formulation is nitrite-free, environmentally safer, and compatible with all commonly used Indian cement types.
Another key advantage is its ease of use. CLEANFLO – STEELCARE-2000 is simply mixed with construction water during concrete production, requiring no additional labor or specialized application procedures.
Key Advantages of CLEANFLO – STEELCARE-2000
- Nitrites free Formulation
- Improves durability of the structure
