ADT Industries Pvt. Ltd., in association with Sika India Pvt. Ltd., is proud to be one of the leading suppliers of corrosion inhibitor admixtures for concrete in Mumbai and across India. Our high-performance products, such as Sika FerroGard-901 and Sika FerroGard-903, are designed to extend the service life of reinforced concrete structures by protecting them against the damaging effects of corrosion.
Why Choose Corrosion Inhibitors for Concrete?
Corrosion of reinforced concrete is one of the most significant issues faced in construction, especially in environments exposed to moisture, salt, and chemicals. The corrosion of steel reinforcement inside concrete leads to structural weakening, cracks, and surface deterioration. This can result in costly repairs and reduced service life of concrete structures.
Corrosion inhibitor admixtures are specifically formulated to protect the steel reinforcement from corrosion by reducing the rate of chloride ion penetration and limiting the electrochemical processes that lead to rusting. By incorporating Sika's advanced corrosion inhibitors, you can significantly enhance the durability of concrete and prevent premature degradation.

Featured Products: Sika FerroGard-901 and Sika FerroGard-903
1. Sika FerroGard-901
Sika FerroGard-901 is a surface-applied corrosion inhibitor designed to provide protection to steel reinforcement in concrete structures. This product is highly effective in preventing the onset of corrosion and can be applied as a treatment on existing concrete structures or in new construction.
Key Features of Sika FerroGard-901:
- -- Surface Protection: Protects steel reinforcement in concrete by reducing chloride ion penetration.
- -- Penetrative Action: Penetrates deeply into the concrete and forms a protective layer around the reinforcement.
- -- Improves Durability: Enhances the long-term durability and service life of reinforced concrete by preventing rust formation and related deterioration.
- -- Easy Application: Can be applied via spray, roller, or brush to vertical and horizontal surfaces.
2. Sika FerroGard-903
Sika FerroGard-903 is a liquid corrosion inhibitor that offers long-lasting protection to the steel reinforcement in concrete structures, especially in environments prone to high levels of moisture and chloride exposure, such as coastal areas and industrial environments.
Key Features of Sika FerroGard-903:
- -- Corrosion Inhibition: Acts as a corrosion inhibitor that slows down the corrosion process by forming a protective layer around the steel reinforcement.
- -- Effective in Harsh Environments: Particularly suitable for use in areas with high levels of chloride contamination, such as coastal regions or near industrial sites.
- -- Non-Toxic and Environmentally Friendly: Safe for use in both new and existing concrete structures, with no harmful effects on human health or the environment.
- -- Enhances Concrete Performance: Improves the long-term strength and durability of concrete by reducing the risk of corrosion-related damage.
Applications of Sika FerroGard-901 and Sika FerroGard-903
Both Sika FerroGard-901 and Sika FerroGard-903 are versatile corrosion inhibitors that can be used in various types of concrete structures. Their key applications include:
1. Infrastructure Projects
- -- Bridges and Flyovers: Protects reinforced concrete from corrosion caused by de-icing salts, moisture, and exposure to harsh environmental conditions.
- -- Tunnels and Underground Structures: Extends the life of tunnels, subways, and other underground infrastructure by reducing the risk of corrosion.
- -- Water Treatment Plants: Prevents corrosion in concrete structures exposed to water, chemicals, and varying environmental conditions.
2. Coastal and Marine Structures
- -- Marine Concrete Structures: Ideal for piers, docks, and offshore structures that are exposed to saltwater and marine environments, where corrosion is a major concern.
- -- Coastal Buildings and Roads: Protects reinforced concrete from the harmful effects of chloride ions in coastal regions.
3. Industrial and Commercial Applications
- -- Industrial Plants: Prevents corrosion in concrete exposed to industrial chemicals, moisture, and aggressive environmental factors.
- -- Parking Structures: Helps protect parking garages and other exposed concrete structures from corrosion caused by automotive exhaust and de-icing chemicals.
- -- Roads and Highways: Protects the reinforcement in highway concrete that is subjected to salts, moisture, and other corrosive elements.
4. Residential and Commercial Buildings
- -- Residential Construction: In residential buildings located in humid climates or areas with high chloride exposure, corrosion inhibitors are essential to enhance the durability of the structure.
- -- High-Rise Buildings: For multi-story structures, Sika corrosion inhibitors help prevent steel reinforcement degradation, which could lead to costly repairs and maintenance.
5. Restoration of Existing Concrete Structures
- -- Concrete Repairs: Ideal for retrofitting existing concrete structures with corrosion inhibitors to extend their service life and prevent further damage.
- -- Structural Rehabilitation: Used as part of the rehabilitation process for bridges, buildings, and other structures that show signs of corrosion due to age or exposure to aggressive environments.
