Concrete Waterproofing Admixture – Kryton

Media » News May 14, 2013

Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) is an integral crystalline concrete waterproofing admixture; and a PRAH (Permeability Reducing Admixture – Hydrostatic Conditions).

When combined with water, KIM’s proprietary chemicals react to form millions of needle-like crystals. These crystals grow and fill the capillary pores and micro-cracks in the concrete, blocking the flow of water. As time passes and stresses form new cracks, any incoming moisture causes the crystals to reactivate – ensuring continuous waterproofing over the years.

KIM is used in place of externally applied surface membranes to protect against moisture transmission, chemical attack and the corrosion of reinforcing steel.

Product benefits include:

  • Lowers the cost of waterproofing by as much as 40 percent
  • Helps to shave weeks off of construction schedules
  • Reduces the cost of maintenance and repairs
  • Increases reliability and quality control
  • Increases revenues with a larger building footprint
  • Safe for contact with potable water and Certified by NSF to NSF/ANSI Standard 61 Drinking Water System Components – Health Effects
  • Winner of the Most Innovative Product Award at World of Concrete in 2003
