Krytonite™ Swelling Waterstop

A synthetic rubber waterstop that uses swelling pressure to seal concrete construction joints and stop water.

How It Works

Krytonite Swelling Waterstop is adhered using Krytonite Adhesive at or near the center of the construction joint to the clean, dry, concrete surface.

For added long-term protection of the outboard reinforcing steel, apply Krystol Waterstop Treatment to the concrete surface first and then adhere Krytonite to the treatment. Once this is completed, pour the concrete over on the Krytonite making it part of the concrete structure.

Why Krytonite Swelling Waterstop?

High-Performance Swelling

Krytonite stops water better than bentonite and competing swelling waterstops–even in contaminated water.

Easy to Install

Flexible and easy to install.

Safe

It is suitable for use with regular ground water as well as salt and sulfate contaminated water.

Versatile

Innovative trapezoid shape resists dislodgement and allows better concrete consolidation. Controlled swelling allows for concrete strength development in advance of swelling pressure.

Sustainable

Krytonite is extremely durable and will not deteriorate over time. It can be used by itself as a single protection waterstop, or with other components of the Krystol Waterstop System as a double or triple protection option for construction joints.
