contents The durability of MgO/hydromagnesite mortars was studied with respect to their corrosion performance and resistance to chloride attack and moisture. MgO/hydromagnesite pastes were cured in chloride solution to induce potential formation of Mg-chlorides; however, no such phases were observed. Rapid chloride ingress measurements demonstrated high penetration resistance and low chloride migration coefficients, i.e. D_Cl = 1e-13 to 1e-12 m^2/s. The corrosion rate of carbon steel embedded in MgO/HY mortars, as determined by linear polarization resistance measurements, was in the range icorr = 1e-9 A/cm^2 in dry and 1e-7 A/cm^2 in wet conditions, irrespective of the mortar composition or curing condition.These findings corroborate the hypothesis that, in the absence of chlorides, the moisture condition is the primary predictor of corrosion rate of carbon steel in the MgO/hydromagnesite binder. These accelerated, short-term experiments suggest that the binder may be suited to protect embedded carbon steel from corrosion under specific exposure conditions of practical relevance.
