Sustainable concrete repair products can extend the time in between repair cycles and increase the service life of a structure. This will discuss the fact that based on 10+ years of field and laboratory testing, organofunctional silane corrosion inhibitors are effective at corrosion mitigation, thus decreasing the frequency and extent of repairs. Evaluation on new concrete also showed a predicted increase in time to corrosion initiation when compared to untreated reinforced concrete specimens. Modeling results were verified in a 2 year laboratory study.
