Abstract

The coupled borate/silicate salts-based additive for mortar or concrete controls chloride induced pitting and uniform corrosion of steel rebars embedded in the mortar or concrete with no detrimental effect on compressive strength of mortar/concrete. The silicate compounds may include one or more of the salts of sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron, zinc, aluminum and other transition and valve metals. The borate compounds may include one or more of the salts of alkali and alkaline earth metals, transition, non-transition and valve metals such as sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron, zinc, aluminum and others. The combination of the borate and silicate salts as an additive has been shown to impart high protection to steel rebar surfaces against corrosion, and particularly chloride induced pitting corrosion. The additives are equally effective for mortar as well as concrete. They are also eco-friendly, economical, and are easily applied at construction sites.
