Krystol T1® Concrete Waterproofing

A surface-applied crystalline slurry treatment that transforms new or existing concrete into a permanent waterproofing barrier.

How It Works

Krystol technology reacts with moisture to form insoluble needle-shaped crystals that fill capillary pores and micro-cracks in the concrete and block the pathways for water and waterborne contaminants.

Unlike other crystalline solutions that react with free lime that eventually depletes over time, Krystol T1 chemically reacts with water and unhydrated cement particles. Any moisture introduced over the lifespan of the concrete will initiate crystallization, ensuring permanent waterproofing and watertightness protection.

Why Krystol T1?

Proven over 50 years

Krystol, introduced over 50 years ago as the first crystallization technology, has proven its efficacy through the enduring longevity of the structures where it was used.

Permanent Reactive Technology

Any moisture introduced over the lifespan of the concrete will initiate crystallization, ensuring permanent protection.

Versatile

Krystol T1 can be applied to new concrete or old concrete and is used on either the positive (wet) or negative (dry) side of the water pressure which allows reliable hydrostatic waterproofing protection and remediation for even the most difficult applications.

Sustainable

By making the concrete itself the waterproof barrier, Krystol technology can reduce the need for additional materials and processes associated with external waterproofing or watertightness methods. This can result in more sustainable concrete over its lifecycle.

Krystol T1® Concrete Waterproofing

Krystol T1 is a surface-applied crystalline slurry treatment that transforms new or existing concrete into a permanent waterproofing barrier.

Waterproofing Structural Shotcrete Without A Membrane

Structural shotcrete is becoming a preferred concreting method in foundation construction, building tanks, parking garages and many other structures because it’s up to 50% faster than conventional cast in place.

Protect Marine Structures with Crystalline Waterproofing

Use the right products to protect and increase the lifespan of infrastructure in harsh marine environments.

Construction and Repair of Concrete Tunnels

Construct watertight tunnels that last. Tunnels can be subjected to heavy traffic and vibration, temperature changes, corrosion damage and freeze thaw cycles which affect the tunnel’s durability.

Construction and Repair of Concrete Parking Structures

Construction and Repair of Concrete Parking Structures Construct watertight parking structures that last. Kryton takes the risk out creating durable waterproof concrete parking structures.

Construction and Repair of Concrete Water Containment Structure

Construct watertight water containment structures that last. Take the risk out of creating watertight tanks from the begining by using Kryton’s Krystol Internal Membrane™ (KIM®) admixture and Krystol Waterstop Joint System.
