Product DetailsTyfo® CIS Inhibitor Layer 1
DESCRIPTION
Tyfo® CIS Layer 1 is a single-component, colorless liquid. It is the corrosion inhibitor vapor phase
of the Tyfo® Concrete Repair System. This layer will sublimate and permeate the concrete as a
gas, and distribute itself uniformly to form a passive film on the corroded reinforcing steel. This
layer is delivered in a liquid form and spray-applied over the concrete area. Layer 1 is applied to
the exposed surfaces as required. The Tyfo® CIS Layer 1 apllication is followed by the Tyfo® CIS
Layer 2 application. After receiving both Layers 1 & 2, the exposed surfaces are cleaned by
washing with fresh water or by abrasive blasting. All exposed steel is then treated with the Tyfo®
CB material and the concrete section is restored using Tyfo® P or Tyfo® PF as required.
USE
Tyfo® CIS Layer 1 is used with the Tyfo® Concrete Repair System to control the corrosion of
reinforcement or other embedded steel elements. Tyfo® CIS Layer 1 may be applied directly to
exposed rebar prior to application of concrete.
