💦 Concrete pools face a tough durability challenge.

Despite being a major investment, concrete pools are often expected to have a relatively limited service life compared with many other concrete structures. One of the biggest risks? Corrosion of embedded reinforcement. 🛠️

Constant exposure to moisture and chlorides can create an aggressive environment for reinforced concrete, making corrosion protection an important consideration from new construction through repair and maintenance.

MCI® technology gives pool contractors and material suppliers another tool to help protect reinforced concrete and support longer service life.
