RustGuard™ is a calcium nitrite-based corrosion-inhibiting admixture designed specifically for steel-reinforced concrete. It protects rebar by forming a protective passivation layer in the concrete’s alkaline environment, preventing chloride-induced corrosion while accelerating set times for faster project timelines.
RustGuard™ delivers dual benefits in ready-mix concrete applications. It inhibits corrosion on embedded steel while speeding up early strength gain, making it ideal for harsh environments like bridges, parking structures, and marine projects.
The primary strength of RustGuard™ is its calcium nitrite formula, which reacts in concrete to create a stable barrier against corrosive ions.
Accelerates set time and early compressive strength without compromising long-term durability.
Proven effective in chloride-rich conditions, extending the structure's life.
Easy dosage integration into standard batch plants.
In concrete’s alkaline pH, RustGuard™ generates protective compounds that passivate steel surfaces, blocking rust initiation even with chloride exposure.
Yes, it pairs well with superplasticizers and accelerators; perform trial mixes to confirm performance.
No, it maintains workability and finish quality while enhancing early strength for faster form removal.
