BetonFIP Passivante — Reinforcement Bar Passivating Coating
Single-component, polymer-modified cementitious passivating coating for the protection and passivation of reinforcement bars in concrete structures — CE marked to UNI EN 1504-7
BetonFIP Passivante is a single-component, polymer-modified cementitious passivating coating containing corrosion inhibitors, green in colour. It eliminates the risk of corrosion in exposed reinforcement bars — the most common cause of deterioration in concrete structures — and protects bars with insufficient concrete cover, extending the service life of the structure.
Why specify BetonFIP Passivante reinforcement passivating coating?
CE Marked to UNI EN 1504-7
BetonFIP Passivante is CE marked under attestation system 2+ (Certificate No. 1305-CPR-1156) and fully complies with the requirements and acceptance limits of UNI EN 1504 Part 7 — the European standard for reinforcement protection in concrete repair.
Prevents Reinforcement Corrosion
Corrosion of reinforcement bars is the most common cause of concrete structure deterioration. BetonFIP Passivante eliminates this risk by maintaining bars in a high pH environment — an essential condition for preventing steel corrosion.
Contains Corrosion Inhibitors
The formulation incorporates active corrosion inhibitors alongside polymer modification, providing chemical protection to the reinforcement bar surface and maintaining the passivation layer over the service life of the repair.
High pH Environment
BetonFIP Passivante maintains a pH of ≥12 at the reinforcement bar surface — replicating the alkaline environment of sound concrete and chemically passivating the steel to halt the corrosion process.
Strong Adhesion to Concrete
Achieves adhesion to concrete of ≥2 MPa in accordance with UNI EN 1542, ensuring the passivating coating bonds reliably to the prepared substrate and maintains integrity under the repair mortar overcoat.
Fast Overcoating — 2 Hours
BetonFIP Passivante can be overcoated with repair mortars from the BetonFIP range after just 2 hours at 20°C, minimising waiting time on site and keeping concrete repair programmes on schedule.
BetonFIP Passivante — Cementitious Passivating Coating
BetonFIP Passivante is Licata's single-component, polymer-modified cementitious passivating coating for the protection of reinforcement bars against corrosion. Green in colour for easy identification on site, it contains active corrosion inhibitors and is designed to maintain steel reinforcement in the high pH environment necessary to prevent corrosion from taking hold.
Applied to exposed reinforcement bars by brush in two coats to achieve a total thickness of approximately 2mm, BetonFIP Passivante forms a chemically active protective layer before the repair mortar is applied. It is equally suited to bars with insufficient concrete cover, where it provides direct corrosion protection and extends the service life of the structure.
BetonFIP Passivante is compatible with the full BetonFIP range of repair mortars and can be overcoated with them from 2 hours after application at 20°C. It is CE marked under attestation system 2+ and complies in full with UNI EN 1504 Part 7.
