Key Challenges That Impact Your Bottom Line

1. Delays and High Labor Costs

Traditional waterproofing methods, like external membranes, slow construction and increase labor expenses. Application errors can lead to costly rework. KIM eliminates the need for membrane application and all of its related risks and costs - shortening the construction schedule and delivering projects sooner.

2. Space Limitations

Applying a surface membrane often requires leaving space between your foundation and the property line, limiting the use of available land and increasing design complexity. An integral waterproofer like KIM can allow construction right up to the property line.

3. Premature Deterioration

Abrasion, erosion and/or water infiltration can lead to early deterioration of your concrete structure, resulting in unplanned maintenance and repair expenses, costly downtime and potentially early replacement of the structure. Both KIM and Hard-cem are proven solutions for greatly extending the service life of concrete placements.

4. Unproven Technologies

Most strategies for integral waterproofing, durability enhancement and carbon reduction are relatively recent innovations. Their long-term performance is yet to be proven. Kryton’s Krystol technology has been proving itself for more than 50 years and our KIM admixture for more than 44 years. You can trust that Kryton products will not let you down.

Speed Up Construction

Kryton’s crystalline waterproofing admixture, KIM®, is the most versatile solution for protecting your structure from water and keeping it LEED-friendly.

By integrating Hard-Cem into the concrete mix, you eliminate the need for post-applied surface hardeners. This not only accelerates the construction process but also reduces labor costs and the potential for application errors. Hard-Cem significantly enhances the abrasion and erosion resistance of concrete, ensuring long-term durability.

Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) eliminates the need for external waterproofing membranes by making the concrete itself a waterproof barrier. This integral solution simplifies the construction process, speeds up
project timelines, and ensures consistent waterproofing performance throughout the concrete’s lifecycle.

Build Right Up to the Property Line

Achieve permanent waterproofing without additional layers, enabling construction right up to the property line.

With KIM, concrete structures achieve permanent waterproofing without the need for external membranes, allowing for maximum utilization of the property area. This is particularly beneficial for urban developments where space is at a premium.

The Krystol Waterstop System ensures all construction joints are permanently waterproofed, even in areas of high hydrostatic pressure, providing robust protection without the need for additional waterproofing layers.

Lower Operational Costs & Reduce Insurance Claims

Extend the lifespan of your structure by more than 2X, cutting long-term maintenance costs. Enhance durability and watertightness to minimize repair needs and reduce insurance claims.

By doubling the wear life of concrete, Hard-Cem reduces the frequency and cost of repairs and replacements, contributing to significant savings over the structure’s lifetime. Its use in high-traffic and industrial areas minimizes downtime and maintenance needs.

Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) ensures lifelong waterproofing, preventing water damage that can lead to costly repairs and insurance claims. In cases where repairs are needed, Krystol Repair Grout offers a permanent solution for leaking cracks, holes, and joints, further minimizing maintenance costs and extending the life of the structure.
