Kryton's Krystol T1 & T2 being used on Marion HospitalThe Kryton was wet cured for 72 hours after application, whereby the crytals in the mix will grow into the concrete and seal the capillaries in the block wall, thereby waterproofing the walls.

Kryton requires no further maintenance, unlike the Dow product specifi
