Early Backfill
Backfill as soon as you strip, shave days off your completion date.  Eliminates construction delays due to conventional waiting periods for installing membranes. There’s no need to wait around for membranes to be installed -- backfilling can as soon as the concrete is set.
Early backfilling can also save on insurance by eliminating the potential hazard of an open trench.

Design Flexibility
Be creative with water features, aquatic parks and leading edge building designs.  With Krystol® you are free unencumbered by traditional limitations of curved surface, corners and concrete finishing. You can also take advantage of available space in 3 dimensions without concern for the limitations of membrane application.

Ease of Application
Stop fussing with complicated surface applied membranes and joint design systems. With Krystol® there is no fussing with seams and corners or stringent surface prep requirements. In fact, KIM® admixture requires no application work at all and our patented waterstop system eliminates many of the challenges if installing PVC and bentonite strips.

Negative side application
Stop water intrusion—without expensive, time-consuming and disruptive perimeter digging.
Unlike drainage, coatings and membrane systems, Krystol® can be applied to either side of the concrete, against hydrostatic pressure, or as an admixture to new concrete. So, there are no limits when it comes to repairing or waterproofing areas that are difficult to reach.

Surface durability
While external waterproofing membranes can perforate and will deteriorate over time, KIM® is impervious to physical damage and unaffected by climate. It provides life-long waterproofing protection for reinforcing steel from corrosion due to moisture penetration and waterborne chemicals. And Krystol’s unique self-sealing properties significantly reduce maintenance and repair costs over the lifetime of the structure. 

Puncture/Tear resistance
Because Krystol® actually becomes a part of the concrete, it is unaffected by surface damage or abrasion.  It cannot be punctured or torn and does not have seams that may separate.  This means you reduce facility downtime for repairs and save money on maintenance for the life of the concrete.

Self sealing
Krystol® continues to protect against potential water damage during the entire life of the concrete.  Krystol® has the unique ability—even years later—to self-seal hairline cracks as they form – before they turn into costly cracks in your repair and maintenance budget.

Eliminates application error
Even the simplest membrane systems require some level of skilled application…and even the most dedicated tradesperson can make mistakes when it comes to apply them. Krystol® is not subject to stringent workmanship requirements. In fact, the KIM® admixture requires no application labour at all.

Ease of surface preparation
Krystol® does not require any bonding agents or smooth surfaces for application. It can also be applied in damp/wet conditions. In fact, a saturated surface is one of the few preparation requirements of the surface applied system. The KIM® admixture requires no surface prep at all.

Reduces construction schedule
You are in control of your schedule when you use Krystol®.  There’s no need to wait around for membranes to be installed – backfill as soon as the concrete is set.  And you don’t need to delay for the perfect weather…damp/wet conditions are ideal for surface application  Adding KIM® to your concrete mix saves vital construction time and costs.

Resistance to hydrostatic pressure
The ability of Krystol® treated concrete to withstand extreme pressure, even when applied to the negative side of a concrete structure, is one of the unique advantages of the Krystol® System. Krystol® becomes part of the concrete matrix and will not wear away, deteriorate, delaminate or pop-off.

Ease of Maintenance
Reduce call backs and customer complaints.  Krystol’s unique self-sealing ability means it will keep working for the life of the concrete. Negative-side application means you can conduct repairs in otherwise difficult to reach areas. And you will never need to re-apply or replace a Krystol® application.

Life of protection
Once Krystol® penetrates deep into the concrete matrix it stays there- permanently. It will not deteriorate or wear away. In fact, in the precense of moisture, it becomes stronger over time. Protecting reinforcing steel from corrosion and preventing spalling, cracking  and deterioration.
