Independent Tests by Geomaterials Research Services Ltd

March, 1998--Basildon, Essex, UK


Makers Industrial Ltd and QED jointly commissioned an independent test to verify whether it is possible for a corrosion inhibitor to migrate through concrete.

Samples of Margel VPI 580 where submitted for testing to Geomaterials

The Conclusion Summarised by Dr French BSc,PhD,FGS of Geomaterials was;

"It is clear that Margel does travel through a concrete pore structure, or more precisely, each element of it does."


"Each active ingredient contains a known corrosion inhibitor with an industry track record of inhibiting corrosion, we can verify that this readily travels through dense structural concrete"
