The Hydrostop Restore & Protect System greatly extends the useful life of aging concrete infrastructure and buildings, improves overall aesthetics, and offers a more environmentally sustainable alternative to total replacement. The first step is repairing cracks and defects at the concrete surface with Hydrostop Grout, a nonshrink, waterproof grout that uses Kryton’s original crystalline technology. Once the substrate is repaired, the entire concrete surface is coated with a polymerized, cementitious slurry called Hydrostop Coating. This layer provides a durable barrier against water and chemical intrusion and improves the concrete’s overall aesthetics. The third step creates a long-lasting water-repellent effect on the concrete surface by using a high-quality, blended silane-siloxane sealer called Hydrostop Sealer. In addition to giving aging concrete infrastructure a new lease on life, the Hydrostop System makes life easier for maintenance engineers and specifiers by offering a complete and compatible system that has been developed to work flawlessly together. There’s no need to piece together a solution based on various products or resolve conflicting application instructions.
