Transcript of Crystalline Technology Permanently Waterproofs Concrete
How can we get a
permanent waterproofing solution?
There are new innovations and solutions that are changing the way we waterproof structures to reduce risk
First Concrete Structure
Water Leaks Through Structures
Water leaks through Membranes
Crystalline waterproofing
admixture invented
Membranes are created
Steel Added for reinforcement
To waterproof concrete a
MEMBRANE is needed
External Membranes have LIMITATIONS
They tearSusceptible to damage
Dependent on perfect installationDeteriorates over time
High costs with dedicated labour
When membranes tear – they leave you with COSTLY REPAIRS
The future is waterproofing the concrete itself with Krystol Internal Membrane™ (KIM®).
When added to concrete, Krystol chemically reacts with water to form needle-
shaped crystals that fill micro-cracks in the concrete, blocking the
pathways for water.
KIM replaces the need for external membranes
