Who is Kryton?

  • Kryton is the industry leader when it comes to Waterproofing. Kryton products strive to make concrete harder and more permanent than any other products on the market today. For nearly 45 years they have been known as the Groundbreaker for our industry, which is keeping water out of concrete and increasing its erosive abrasive resistance.

What is Crystalline Waterproofing?

  • We have coined the phrase “self-healing” concrete but Kryton’s definition is even better, and they call it “Smart Concrete”. Waterproofing that works even under hydrostatic-pressure.

How Does It Work?

  • When Kryton’s krystol come in contact with concrete, it chemically reacts with water and unhydrated cement particles making it incapable of being dissolved. Krystol spreads throughout the structure making needle-shaped crystals until all the capillary pores are filled. Otherwise making the concrete able to self-seal hairline cracks. It chemically reacts with water and unhydrated cement particles to form insoluble needle-shaped crystals. These crystals fill capillary pores and micro-cracks in the concrete to block pathways for water and waterborne contaminants. If water is re-introduced through a rise in hydrostatic pressure or through hairline cracks, Krystol will initiate further crystallization to ensure permanent waterproof protection.

How long does it work?

  • Kryton’s crystals continue blocking pathways for water and water borne contaminants for the life of the concrete “for ever”!

    What Are Kryton’s Different Products

    Krystol Internal Membrane™ (KIM®)

    Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) is a hydrophilic crystalline admixture used to create permanently waterproof concrete.

    KIM lowers the permeability of concrete and is used in place of surface applied waterproofing membranes. By stopping the transmission of water through concrete, KIM adds durability and longevity to concrete by protecting it against chemical attack and corrosion of reinforcing steel.

    KIM contains Krystol technology. When added to concrete, Krystol chemically reacts with water and un-hydrated cement particles 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. Any moisture introduced over the lifespan of the concrete will initiate crystallization, ensuring permanent waterproofing protection.

  • Lowers the cost of waterproofing
  • Helps to shave weeks off of construction schedules
  • Reduces the cost of maintenance and repairs
  • Increases reliability and quality control
  • Increases revenues with a larger building footprint
  • Safe for contact with potable water and Certified by NSF to NSF/ANSI Standard 61 Drinking Water System Components – Health Effects
  • Winner of the Most Innovative Product Award at World of Concrete in 2003

    Hard-Cem

    Hard-Cem is an Integral Hardening Admixture used to increase Abrasion and Erosion resistance of concrete.

    Hard-Cem is added to the concrete at the time of batching to increase the hardness of the concrete and extend concrete wear life. It outperforms and overcomes deficiencies of labor-intensive surface applied hardeners and is used to enhance the durability of both air-entrained and non-air-entrained concretes. Since it is integral, Hard-Cem is compatible with horizontal, vertical or inclined concrete and shotcrete surfaces.

    When added to concrete, Hard-Cem’s proprietary technology increases the hardness of the concrete paste and reduces fine and coarse aggregate exposure that creates degradation to concrete surfaces. Since it is integral it continues to offer surface wear resistance throughout its life. By increasing the abrasive-erosive service life of concrete, maintenance costs are reduced and replacement of the concrete is substantially deferred.

  • Extends concrete wear life up to 6 times under harsh conditions
  • Lowers installed cost*
  • Expedites construction schedules*
  • Reduces maintenance costs and improves concrete sustainability
  • Improved work site safety and conditions (dust free)*
  • Improved quality control*
  • Only hardener that can be used on air-entrained concrete*
  • No side effects on concrete water demand, workability, set time, strength development or shrinkage
  • Full depth concrete hardening*
  • Can be used in horizontal, vertical or inclined concrete
  • Easy to use; added to the concrete
  • *compared to surface applied (dry shake) hardeners
