SC Apcorep Conprotek CPCI is a high-performance concrete penetrating corrosion inhibitor developed to protect and rehabilitate reinforced concrete structures exposed to corrosive environments. Manufactured by Asian Paints, the product works on an advanced Bipolar Inhibition Mechanism (B.I.M.) that simultaneously inhibits corrosion at both cathodic and anodic sites of embedded steel reinforcement. Due to its high vapour pressure and strong affinity for metal surfaces, the inhibitor penetrates deep into dense concrete structures and reaches corroding steel, where it forms a protective molecular layer that prevents further reaction between steel, chlorides, oxygen, and moisture, effectively arresting the corrosion process. The product is highly suitable for protection and repair of RCC structures, marine and coastal constructions, bridges, jetties, docks, sewerage systems, railway sleepers, chlorination plants, swimming pools, cooling towers, chimneys, power plants, and pipelines exposed to saline or aggressive environments.
SC Apcorep Conprotek CPCI offers several advantages including deep penetration into concrete, simultaneous cathodic and anodic corrosion protection, enhanced durability of repair works, effective protection of unexposed reinforcement surfaces, eco-friendly and non-toxic formulation, calcium nitrite-free composition, and superior performance even in chloride-contaminated concrete. For application, all loose and spalled concrete should be removed and rusted steel cleaned mechanically, followed by application of rust treatment products such as Apcorep Rustrem and Rustcoat RB on exposed rebars. The inhibitor is then applied by spraying or brushing over the concrete surface at a recommended dosage of approximately 4 m² per litre per coat, with repeated applications required for dense or highly contaminated concrete. After 24 hours, excess traces should be removed before carrying out further repair treatments such as crack sealing, grouting, bonding agent application, or sectional rebuilding. Technically, the product is a water-based bipolar organic corrosion inhibitor available as a clear brown liquid with a minimum pH of 9.5 and water-cleanable characteristics. It is available in 1-litre and 20-litre packs and has a shelf life of 12 months when stored in original unopened containers under cool, dry, and well-ventilated conditions away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. Appropriate safety precautions including gloves, goggles, and masks should be used during handling and application, and any excess material should be disposed of according to local regulations.
SC Apcorep Rustcoat RB is a high-performance epoxy phenolic anti-corrosive protective coating specially designed for reinforcement bars in structural repair and new construction projects. The coating provides excellent resistance against corrosion, chemicals, moisture, and thermal stresses, ensuring long-term durability of reinforced concrete structures. It forms a strong bond with steel rebars as well as cementitious overlays due to its superior adhesion properties, making it highly suitable for bridges, marine structures, pile foundations, retaining walls, industrial structures, sewage and effluent treatment plants, culverts, and high-rise buildings.
Its thermal expansion properties closely match steel, preventing thermal cracking, while its ability to withstand dynamic loading up to 15 lakh cycles makes it ideal for heavily stressed structures. The two-component coating system is mixed in a 1:1 ratio and applied in two coats over properly cleaned and rust-treated rebars, preferably after applying SC Apcorep Rustrem. The product offers excellent tensile strength, elongation, scratch resistance, and corrosion protection, conforming to IS and ASTM standards including ASTM B117 and ASTM D2370. With easy brush application, strong durability, and long-lasting anti-corrosive performance, Apcorep Rustcoat RB significantly enhances the service life and protection of reinforcement steel in concrete structures.
SC Apcorep Rustrem is a single-component, water-based alkaline rust converting primer specially developed for rusted steel and reinforcement bars. It works by chemically converting rust into a strong, corrosion-resistant, insoluble protective layer, helping to improve the durability and life of steel structures. Unlike traditional acid-based rust removers, Apcorep Rustrem does not contain harmful mineral acids, chlorides, or sulphates, making it safer for concrete, embedded rebars, workers, and the environment. The product is easy to apply by brush or spray without any water or thinner dilution and requires no water washing or curing after application, reducing labor and application costs.
It is ideal for structural repair works, rehabilitation projects, exposed rebars, welded or lapped reinforcements, and rebars stored on-site for long periods. The coating offers excellent corrosion protection, passes IS 13515 and ASTM G31 standards, withstands 400 immersion cycles in 3.5% NaCl solution, and performs effectively in enclosed spaces due to its low-fume, water-based formulation.
