A comprehensive approach to permanently waterproof concrete construction joints, pipe penetrations, tie holes, and control joints.
Krystol technology reacts with moisture to form insoluble needle-shaped crystals that fill capillary pores and micro-cracks, blocking pathways for water and contaminants. Unlike other solutions that rely on free lime, Krystol technology reacts with water and unhydrated cement particles, initiating crystallization throughout the concrete’s lifespan for permanent waterproofing.
Krystol Waterstop System is a comprehensive waterproofing solution for all construction joints and details in concrete structures. It combines Krystol Waterstop Grout, Krystol Waterstop Treatment, Krytonite Swelling Waterstop, and Kryton’s Crack Inducing Waterstop to create a permanent, multi-layered defense against water ingress.

For construction joints, the system offers three levels of protection:
Krytonite Swelling Waterstop provides superior swelling pressure (+1000%) and immediate waterproofing for horizontal and vertical joints. It fills gaps and contours in the concrete but does not protect outboard rebar.
Combines Krytonite Swelling Waterstop with Krystol Waterstop Treatment or Krystol Waterstop Grout for added durability that also protects outboard-facing rebar and ensures permanent waterproofing in high-pressure environments.
Designed for high-risk projects, it integrates Krytonite Swelling Waterstop, Krystol Waterstop Grout, and Krystol Waterstop Treatment for the ultimate defense and immediate, permanent protection for both horizontal and vertical joints, even in the most challenging conditions.
Additional applications for Krystol Waterstop System include pipe penetrations, tie holes, and control joints:
Applied externally, Krystol Waterstop Grout provides a permanent waterproof barrier. The keyway can be chiseled or formed and filled anytime after form removal, allowing for flexible installation even around congested rebar.
Krystol Waterstop Grout ensures permanent waterproofing, easily filled after form removal, and suitable for potable water structures.
Kryton Crack Inducing Waterstop and Krystol Waterstop Grout can be used for blindside applications and shotcrete shoring walls. After creating controlled cracks, Krystol technology is introduced through an external waterstop for double-layer protection. The keyway can be filled anytime after form removal, ensuring flexible installation.
Recommended for all static concrete-to-concrete joints, preplanned and unintended shotcrete cold joints, and crack control joints.
