MasterLife 222 is a state-of-the-art corrosion- The hardened properties of concrete are not inhibiting admixture formulated to inhibit the significantly affected by the use of MasterLife 222 corrosion of steel reinforced concrete. MasterLife Concrete-Steel Bond Strength 222 provides two levels of corrosion protection, making it the most effective corrosion-inhibiting Concrete to steel bond strength is not affected by admixture available. MasterLife 222 Mechanism of action The extension in service life due to the product is a function of the chloride exposure level, structural MasterLife 222 functions by inhibiting corrosion at design factors and the transport. Please contact its most critical points MasterLife 222 lines the local BASF Construction Chemicals pores of the concrete matrix thus slowing the rate representatives for additional guidance regarding at which chlorides and moisture enter the specific applications, service life and the use of concrete and denying the corrosion process of its corrosion inhibitors. two most important components. Corrosion-Inhibiting Systems MasterLife 222 provides additional protection by adsorbing onto the reinforcing steel to form a In order to control corrosion in steel reinforced corrosion resistant protective film. This protective concrete, the ACI Building Code (ACI 318) film dramatically slows the corrosion process by requires certain design considerations, such as preventing chlorides from reacting with the limiting the water-cementitious materials ratio; reinforcing steel, and by depriving the corrosion providing adequate concrete cover over process of moisture and oxygen, thus slowing the reinforcing steel; and limiting the initial chloride ion rate of corrosion once it begins. content of the concrete. Additionally, construction practices should be such that dense, void-free FIELDS OF APPLICATION concrete is obtained. MasterLife 222 is recommended for steel In addition to the elements of good concrete reinforced concrete where longer service lives are practice required by the ACI Building Code, BASF desired and it is expected that the concrete will be Construction Chemicals recommends a corrosion- exposed to environmental chlorides from de-icing inhibiting system that inhibits corrosion at multiple salts or massive exposure. levels for maximum protection. FEATURES AND BENEFITS Additional protection can be attained through the Shrinkage compensated - Retains filled volume use of a high-range water-reducing admixture to by compensating for any mild plastic shrinkage. provide adequate placeability and consolidation at low water-cement ratios and/or the use of Increases fluidity of the mix - Enables complete RHEOMAC SF silica fume admixtures to reduce filling of even narrow voids concrete permeability. Lowers water demand - Denser grout. Increased APPLICATION strength properties. MasterLife 222 may be added with concrete TYPICAL PERFORMANCE DATA batch water. It should not be mixed with any other Plastic Properties admixtures prior to being introduced into the concrete mixer. The use of this admixture does The plastic properties of concrete are not not require changes in normal batching significantly affected by the use of MasterLife 222 procedures. Slump and Temperature Development MasterLife 222 has no effect on slump or the temperature development profile of concrete although pumpability has been found to be improved.
