POLYALK FIXOPRIME
POLYALK FIXOPRIME is a highly alkaline, polymeric, elastomeric formulation specially designed to protect steel from corrosion by a passivation mechanism.
ADVANTAGES
- One-pack system. It can be mixed with cement easily, forming a highly alkaline co-matrix.
- The high alkalinity of cement reinforced by high alkalinity, high flexural strength, and extra adhesion due to specially engineered polymers POLYALK FIXOPRIME gives long-term protection to steel against corrosion.
- Treatment can be carried out at the site. Coated bars do not suffer bond loss when embedded in concrete, unlike epoxy-coated bars, which are known to suffer substantial bond loss.

SIMPLE STEPS TO APPLY POLYALK FIXOPRIME
Clean the steel surface
Clean the steel surface by a stiff wire brush to remove loosely held rust particles/scales.
Apply Rusticide
Apply RUSTICIDE with cotton waste swab as per specification.
Mix Polyalk Fixoprime
Mix 1kg PLOYALK FIXOPRIME with 1 to 1.25kg fresh cement to form lump free consistent slurry using a mechanical mixer.
Apply Slurry To The Steel Surface
Apply this slurry to the steel surface using a brush, taking care to avoid pinholes.
