Krystol Broadcast (K-250)
DESCRIPTION
Krystol Broadcast™ is a crystalline waterproofing treatment for concrete flatwork. Krystol Broadcast is applied dry to the fresh concrete surface and troweled into the concrete during the final finishing. The special Krystol chemicals penetrate deeply into the concrete mass protecting it against the passage of water.
The dry-broadcast method results in a smooth finished floor suitable for typical traffic or application of common floor finishes. This can be an advantage over the slurry brush application of Krystol T1™.
The dry-broadcast method is best suited to thick concrete slabs that will be power-troweled during the finishing. For typical thickness slabs, KIM™ admixture may be more cost effective.
FEATURES
- Permanently waterproofs the concrete
- Self-seals minor cracking
- Fugitive dye coloring ensures uniform distribution
- Protects reinforcing steel against corrosion
- Can be used as a wear surface
- Reaches well below the surface and is not destroyed by surface wear or abrasion
- Withstands extreme hydrostatic pressure
- Finished concrete may be painted or covered with any floor finish as usual
- Non-toxic and safe for use in potable water tanks and food processing plants
RECOMMENDED USES
- Slabs on grade or below grade
- Elevated slabs
- Parking structures
- Marine structures
- Reservoirs and water treatment plants
- Basements and pits
- Warehouse and commercial floors

COVERAGE
Apply at a spread rate of 1kg per sq. m.

APPLICATION
Krystol Broadcast is applied by spreading onto the concrete surface just before finishing begins then troweling into the surface during normal finishing operations. For detailed application instructions, important precautions and safety information you must refer to Kryton Technical Bulletin #205.
Kryton recommends that the concrete be cured as per the ACI guidelines. Rapid loss of moisture in plastic concrete may impair the ability for the concrete to receive any shake broadcast without subsequent delamination. The use of both an evaporation retarding film and curing agents is encouraged
