  • Cementitious Materials Including Tobacco Products as Corrosion Inhibitors
    Publication number: 20080163796
    Abstract: Tobacco products such as dried tobacco leaves, stems and dust are added to cementitious materials in order to inhibit corrosion. In one embodiment, the tobacco additions protect steel embedded in Portland cement from corrosive attack. Tobacco is a renewable, potentially inexpensive bioproduct that provides excellent corrosion protection with little or no environmental concerns.
