CORROCHEM Product Description

In chemical environments, ordinary concrete deteriorates rapidly. But CORROCHEM virtually eliminates the deterioration problems caused by aggressive chemical attack on the concrete paste and the associated concrete reinforcing steel corrosion. CORROCHEM makes concrete extremely resistant and durable, provides the ideal solution for storage and production facilities where concrete deteriaration and corrosion are chronic problems. Since its introduction in 1976, CORROCHEM has been widely used for construction and repair projects within the chemical, fertilizer, food, petroleum and paper/pulp industries. CORROCHEM concrete has provided more than 20 years' continuous service in severe environments throughout North America

BENEFITS

  • Outstanding resistance to chemical attack from chlorides, nitrates, acids and sulfates
  • Concrete deterioration resistance is impervious to surface damage and wear
  • Superior chemical resistance throughout its entire mass
  • High compressive strengths (8,000-12,000 psi) with early strengths of 3,000 psi in 24-48 hours
  • Total protection for concrete as well as embedded steel reinforcement
  • Increased resistance to chemical and water penetration

HANDLING

CORROCHEM is delivered in the form of a gray powder. Optimum results can be achieved by following the proportions recommended in the concrete mix formulas which Norchem supplies with the product.

PACKAGING

CORROCHEM is packaged in standard 55-pound paper bags. Like bagged cement, CORROCHEM requires protection from water and moisture.
