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.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

LIMITATIONS

• May result in uneven color of the finished slab.

COVERAGE
Apply at a spread rate of 1kg per sq. m.
(1.8 lbs. per sq. yard or 0.2 lbs per sq. foot).

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
