Description
The steel in your structure is already on the clock. Every winter of deicing salt, every season of salt air, pushes chlorides deeper into the cover toward the rebar. Bone Dry Corrosion Stop is an amine-based, migrating corrosion inhibitor for structures that are already standing: spray it on the surface, and it travels through the concrete to the steel — forming a protective film on the bar before corrosion ever initiates.

Apply, migrate, protect
Corrosion Stop is sprayed, rolled, or brushed onto the concrete surface; it is drawn through the concrete cover toward the steel; and it forms a film on the bar so corrosion never starts.
It travels to the steel
Corrosion Stop is attracted to metal. Sprayed, rolled, or brushed onto any horizontal or vertical surface of a steel-reinforced structure, it absorbs into the concrete and migrates to the embedded reinforcement, coating ferrous and nonferrous metals alike. The film it forms shuts down both halves of the corrosion cell — anodic and cathodic — so chloride ingress can’t start the rusting process. It’s clear, nitrite-free, VOC-free, and completely non-destructive: the concrete’s existing characteristics don’t change at all.
What it does for the structure
| Function | What it means for the asset |
|---|---|
| MIGRATES | Applied at the surface, drawn through the cover — reaches steel you can’t |
| SHIELDS | Anodic and cathodic protection on ferrous and nonferrous metals |
| PRESERVES | Prevents chloride-driven rusting — extends the structure’s service life |
| DISAPPEARS | Dries clear; the concrete’s appearance and characteristics are unchanged |
| CLEAN CHEMISTRY | Nitrite-free and VOC-free |

Deterioration over a structure’s life
Untreated, chlorides eventually reach the bar and corrosion accelerates toward the repair threshold — spalls, closures, structural work. Applying Corrosion Stop delays initiation and extends service life. (Illustrative, based on the classic corrosion initiation/propagation model. The cheapest year to treat a structure is always this one.)
Reinforced concrete fails on a curve: a long, quiet initiation phase while chlorides work inward, then a knee, then the expensive part — spalls, closures, structural repairs. Corrosion Stop is preventative maintenance for the quiet phase. Treat the structure while intervention is still a spray rig and a weekend, and the knee moves years down the road.
| Treat now — Corrosion Stop | Repair later | |
|---|---|---|
| Timing | Before damage shows | After spalls appear |
| Disruption | Spray-applied, non-destructive | Demolition, patching, closures |
| Coverage | The whole element — every bar | Only the spots that already failed |
| Cost profile | A maintenance-budget line item | Escalating repair cycles |
Corrosion Stop is preventative maintenance. Elements with advanced deterioration still require engineered concrete repair.
Every face of the structure

One product for every face of the structure
Barriers and edges, horizontal decks, vertical columns and walls — one product treats every face of the structure at 100 sq ft per gallon in 2–3 coats, protecting the embedded steel throughout.
Decks take it horizontally, columns and walls take it vertically — Corrosion Stop applies to any existing surface of a steel-reinforced structure. Parking structures and garages, balconies and elevated slabs, coastal and marine structures, columns, walls, and barriers: if there’s steel behind the surface, the same spray protects it.
Which corrosion product does your project need?
| Project condition | Use |
|---|---|
| Structure already standing | Corrosion Stop — 2–3 surface coats, migrates to the steel |
| Concrete not poured yet | Bone Dry CI Admixture — 28 fl oz/yd³ at the batch plant |
Application

Field card: application checklist
- Power wash if needed — substrate dry, old coatings removed.
- Temperatures above freezing for at least 12 hours.
- Spray, roll, or brush 2–3 coats — fully wet, no runoff.
- Let each coat absorb 20–30 minutes before the next.
- Repairs over treated areas: wait 24 hours and degrease residue first.
Spread rate: 100 sq ft per gallon. Protect glass, wood, brick, and finished metals from overspray.
Good to know: apply with an airless, battery-powered, or pump sprayer — or brush and roll where that’s easier. If concrete repairs are planned over treated areas, let the inhibitor absorb for 24 hours, then remove any surface residue with Bone Dry Concrete Degreaser before patching (auto-scrub or pressure wash horizontal surfaces; rinse verticals).

FAQ
What is Bone Dry Corrosion Stop and where is it used?
A surface-applied, migrating corrosion inhibitor for existing reinforced concrete structures exposed to deicing salt or salt air: parking garages, bridges, balconies, and piers. It is preventative maintenance for the whole element.
How does it reach the rebar?
Sprayed, rolled, or brushed onto the concrete, it migrates through the cover to the embedded steel and forms a protective film on the bar that shuts down both the anodic and cathodic halves of the corrosion cell before chloride ingress can start rusting.
How many coats, and what coverage?
Two to three coats, fully wet with no runoff, letting each coat absorb for 20 to 30 minutes before the next. Total spread rate is 100 square feet per gallon. An airless, battery-powered, or pump sprayer all work, on decks horizontally and on columns and walls vertically.
Can Corrosion Stop be applied in cold weather?
Surface temperatures need to stay above freezing for at least 12 hours, and the substrate must be dry with old coatings removed. Power wash first if needed.
Can it fix concrete that is already spalling?
No. Elements with advanced deterioration need engineered concrete repair first; Corrosion Stop then protects the rest of the element from following.
Can I patch or repair over treated areas?
Yes. Allow 24 hours of absorption, then remove the surface residue with Bone Dry Concrete Degreaser before patching.
What is the difference between Corrosion Stop and Corrosion Inhibitor?
Timing. Corrosion Stop is applied to the surface of a structure that is already standing. Corrosion Inhibitor is an admixture dosed into concrete that has not been poured yet, at 28 fluid ounces per cubic yard.
If I use Corrosion Stop and Structural Sealer on the same element, which goes first?
Corrosion Stop first, all two to three coats fully absorbed, then Structural Sealer.
