A Study on the Anticorrosion of LD-1 Compound Inhibitor on Reinforcing Steel in Seawater

Corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete is one of major causes of the loss of durability in marine environment and in those environments contained chloride ions. A number of protective measures have been applied for preventing reinforcement corrosion, and corrosion inhibitors have been developed, which is effective and economical for combating the corrosion problem. This paper shows the evaluation of the effect of LD-1 compound inhibitor, which has been developed in our laboratory, on its anticorrosion action on the reinforcing steel in seawater for the sake of preventing reinforcing steel in concrete in marine environment corrosion.
