Kryton Calls for Durable Concrete Standards in Data Centers

As hyperscale and edge data centers expand to meet the demands of AI and 24/7 connectivity, Kryton International is spotlighting a silent threat to uptime: concrete degradation.

In a new article from International Business Times, Kryton President & CEO Kari Yuers shares why outdated or untreated concrete is no longer acceptable in mission-critical infrastructure. From hairline cracks that lead to water ingress, to abrasion from robotic equipment and cooling system cycles, even minor slab weaknesses can lead to $1 million/hour outages.

Kryton’s Krystol Internal Membrane™ (KIM®) and Hard-Cem® admixtures are engineered to tackle these exact risks — turning standard concrete into a waterproof, abrasion-resistant solution from the inside out.

Highlights from the article:
•  Uptime is at risk due to overlooked slab vulnerabilities
•  Water ingress and rebar corrosion can trigger cascading failures
•  Robotics and automation amplify abrasion loads on concrete
•  Kryton solutions reduce risk without external membranes or surface treatments

If you’re designing or operating next-gen data centers, this is essential reading.
