For over 15 years Kryton Buildmat Co. Pvt. Ltd. (subsidiary of Kryton International, Canada) has specialized in making concrete structures across India waterproof. The pioneers in crystallization technology, Kryton has always worked towards giving complete, customized solutions to concrete structures for their waterproofing needs. The drive to always be in the forefront of technology and innovation has led the Company to create a superior range of products for both new and existing concrete structures.

Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) – Winner of the Most Innovative Product Award at World of Concrete in 2003, is the ideal substitute for time & labour intensive, expensive externally applied surface membranes.

The Company prides itself in state-of-the-art technology, high standards in manufacturing, consistently high quality products combined with a superior technical team. Kryton’s commitment to quality is ensured through its ISO Certification and yearly qualification/audits to be the ONLY crystallization manufacturer to carry the BIS Hallmark.

Product Range

T1 & T2 System – One Of its Kind Post Construction System
The KRYSTOL T1 & T2 system is a unique concrete waterproofing treatment that is a cost-effective, permanent and reliable alternative to traditional membrane-based waterproofing systems for the prevention, repair and maintenance of existing concrete structures. It is surface applied to existing structures (could be on negative or positive side) to repair leaking concrete and eliminate future leaking through micro cracks and pores. It is the only system of its kind available in India.

Bari-Cote
Bari-Cote – Krystol Bari-Cote is a fast-setting waterproof grout designed to repair leaking cracks, holes and joints.

KIM – Winner Of The Most Innovative Product Award
Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) – Winner of the Most Innovative Product Award at World of Concrete in 2003. Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) is the ideal substitute for time & labour intensive, expensive externally applied surface membranes, KIM is added to concrete; it is used as an admixture and becomes a part of the concrete. lt can he added onsite or at the hatching plant. KIM protects against moisture transmission, chemical attack and corrosion of the reinforcing steel. It is an integral crystalline concrete waterproofing admixture and a PRAH (Permeability Reducing Admixture – Hydostatic Conditions). When combined with water KIM’s proprietary chemicals react to form millions of needle-like crystals. These crystals grow and self seal the capillary pores and micro-cracks (of up to 0.5mm) 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.

Benefits

  • Lowers the cost of waterproofing by as much as 40%
  • Helps to shave weeks off construction schedules
  • Reduces the cost of maintenance and repairs
  • Increases reliability and quality control
  • No pre or post treatment is required
  • Helps on hydration of water
  • 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

KMA – Water Protection For Mortar And Concrete Masonry Units
Krystol Mortar Admixture (KMA) transforms highly porous maria into a water-resistant, crack resistant barrier that withstands even the harshest elements. It is specially formulated to provide long-term protection in cementitious mortar by reducing both
permeability and absorption. It significantly reduces building maintenance and repair costs by improving durability and preserving the original appearance. its unique Krystol technology simplifies installation and provides superior performance such as the ability to self-seal minor cracks and withstand rain and storms.

Benefits

  • Lowers upfront building costs compared to surface applied sealers
  • Simplilies installation, eliminating labour, and shortening the construction cycle
  • Increases the life of mortar and decreases building maintenance and repair costs
  • Increases durability and delivers a permanent solution with materials designed to last the lifetime of the mortar
