Tools of the Trade – Kryton’s Krystol Waterstop System Saves Construction Time, Costs

Media » News April 25, 2005

Parking, A Publication of the National Parketing Association – April 2005

An innovative concrete waterstop application is changing the way concrete construction joints are waterproofed. Known as the Krystol Waterstop System™, the application replaces conventional waterstop barriers, saving construction time and costs while providing two lines of defense to protect construction joints.

The Krystol Waterstop System uses two cementitious, Krystol-based products: Krystol Waterstop Grout™ and Krystol Waterstop Treatment™. A 5-cm wide, 3-cm high (2″ x 1½ “) triangle-shaped strip of Krystol Waterstop Grout is created along the edge of a concrete slab or wall at the site where a new wall is to be poured. Once the grout has cured, Krystol Waterstop Treatment is applied and the concrete wall can be poured as normal.

The Krystol Waterstop System offers a number of benefits over conventional barrier systems:

  • – It’s easier and faster to install, saving construction time and labor costs, reducing the requirement for skilled trades.
  • – There are no requirements for specialized equipment and no need to prime concrete surfaces.
  • – Material and labor costs are considerably less than PVC, bentonite, and other waterstop systems.
  • – Unlike PVC or bentonite, Krystol won’t deteriorate over time-its waterproofing protection lasts the lifetime of the structure.
  • – Because the Krystol Waterstop System provides a chemical barrier in addition to a physical barrier, waterproofing is not compromised even if the application is chipped or damaged.

A worldwide patent for the application is currently pending. For more information, visit www.kryton.com, or call 1-800-267-8280.
