Krystol Waterstop System

The Krystol Waterstop System is used to permanently waterproof concrete construction joints, pipe penetrations, tie holes and control joints. The Krystol Waterstop System works where other waterstops routinely fail. Kryton is the only integral waterproofing company that offers fully integrated concrete waterproofing solutions.

How it Works

The Krystol Waterstop System is comprised of Krystol Waterstop Grout, Krystol Waterstop Treatment, Krytonite Swelling Waterstop and Kryton’s Crack Inducing Waterstop. These products are used in a variety of ways to waterproof all construction joints and details found in concrete construction

Construction Joints

Single Protection: Improved waterproofing performance over common swelling waterstops

Superior swelling pressure and performance that stops water better than bentonite and competing swelling waterstops.

Usage: Horizontal and Vertical Construction Joints

Products: Krytonite Swelling Waterstop (secured w/ Krytonite Adhesive)

Features: Exceptional swelling performance (+1000%) • Proven to stop at least 8 bar of hydrostatic pressure • Fills gaps, voids and contours in concrete to stop water from passing • Maintains cohesive state after repeated wet / dry cycles

Note: like all single protection waterstops, outboard rebar is NOT protected.


Double Protection: When a permanent, long term, hydrostatic waterproofing solution is needed

Superior swelling pressure and performance combined with Krystol technology delivered through a slurry treatment that ensures permanent waterproofing protection

Usage: Horizontal and Vertical Construction Joints

Products: Krystol Waterstop Treatment & Krytonite Swelling Waterstop (secured w / Krytonite Adhesive)

Features: Double protection against water • Protects outboard facing rebar • Preformed material, easy installation • Exceptional swelling waterstop performance • Immediate waterstop

Krystol technology delivered through an internally placed, triangle shaped, waterstop and a slurry treatment that ensures permanent waterproofing protection

Usage: Horizontal Construction Joints

Products: Krystol Waterstop Treatment & Krystol Waterstop Grout

Features: Double protection against water• Protects outboard facing rebar • Easily conforms to rough joint surfaces • Easy/flexible installation • Difficult to damage after hardened • NSF 61 certified

Krystol technology delivered through a slurry treatment and external waterstop that ensures permanent waterproofing protection

Usage: Horizontal and Vertical Construction Joints

Products: Krystol Waterstop Treatment & Krystol Waterstop Grout

Features: Double protection against water • Protects outboard facing rebar • Keyway can be filled anytime after removing form • Easy/flexible installation • Eliminates difficulties around congested rebar • NSF 61 certified


Triple Protection: Use on high risk, critical projects

The ultimate construction joint. Superior swelling pressure and performance combined with Krystol technology that is delivered through a slurry treatment and an external waterstop that ensures permanent waterproofing protection

Usage: Horizontal and Vertical Construction Joints

Products: Krystol Waterstop Treatment & Krystol Waterstop Grout & Krytonite Swelling Waterstop (secured w / Krytonite Adhesive)

Features: Triple protection against water • Protects outboard facing rebar • High-risk waterproofing • Immediate and permanent joint protection

Pipe Penetrations

Krystol technology delivered through an externally placed waterstop that ensures permanent waterproofing protection.

Products: Krystol Waterstop Grout

Features: Keyway can be chiseled or formed • Keyway can be filled anytime after removing form • Allows for easy and flexible installation • Eliminates difficulties around congested rebar • NSF 61 certified

Tie Holes

Krystol technology delivered through an externally placed waterstop that ensures permanent waterproofing protection.

Products: Krystol Waterstop Grout

Features: Tie Holes can be filled anytime after removing form • Allows for easy and flexible installation • NSF 61 certified products

Control Joints

PVC Crack Inducing Waterstop creates a controlled crack, then introduces Krystol technology through an externally placed waterstop that ensures permanent waterproofing protection.

Usage: Blindside Applications and Shotcrete Shoring walls

Products: Kryton Crack Inducing Waterstop & Krystol Waterstop Grout

Features: Crack control for blindside applications • Ridged PVC waterstop • Double protection against water • Keyway can be filled anytime after removing form

Aligned keyways create a controlled crack to introduce Krystol technology through two external waterstops that ensure permanent waterproofing protection.

Usage: Backfilled walls, where access is available.

Products: Krystol Waterstop Grout

Features: Double protection against water • Keyway can be filled anytime after removing form • NSF 61 certified products

Krystol Waterstop Treatment™

Krystol Waterstop System

Krystol Waterstop Treatment is a cementitious crystalline slurry that is applied to horizontal and vertical construction joints to provide additional waterproofing protection, and protect rebar from corrosion.

Krystol Waterstop Grout™

Krystol Waterstop System

Krystol Waterstop Grout is a crystalline grout used to create an internal or external waterstop at construction joints, pipe penetrations, tie-holes and control joints.

Krytonite™ Swelling Waterstop

Krystol Waterstop System

Krytonite Swelling Waterstop is a synthetic rubber waterstop that uses swelling pressure to seal concrete construction joints and stop water.

Crack Inducing Waterstop

Krystol Waterstop System

Kryton’s Crack Inducing Waterstop is specially engineered to produce a waterproof crack control joint.
