In order to produce a long-lasting, functional structure, any abrasive or erosive forces need to be ameliorated through its design. This educational unit examines concrete hardening technologies – comparing features and limitations – so the best method can be selected.
1. Identify problems that arise when a concrete surface experiences
abrasion and erosion
2. Analyze common methods used to protect concrete and the potential
limitations of each method
3. Examine how integral admixtures can improve concrete application
for building professionals
4. Explore ways that integral admixtures resolved complicated
building projects

Helping Build Durable Structures that Last
Our AIA CES approved presentation will describe our crystalline technology with four learning objectives. In the project section, we will discuss various case studies in an array of challenging environments – we will review the initial questions we ask to troubleshoot and take you from the first concrete pour, through each appropriate Kryton system, hitting joints, penetrations, and cracks, to ensure the structure is warranted watertight and leak-free. A fully interactive and eye-opening session.
Course Description:
Few building materials offer the strength and versatility of concrete, which has been used for centuries. Waterproofing is absolutely critical for a functional, superior and long-lasting structure. This educational unit examines exactly how waterproofing works, and how it doesn’t, so the best waterproofing method can be specified for each project.
1. Discuss why concrete needs to be waterproofed
2. List the common methods of waterproofing concrete
and their limitations
3. Describe the use of integral crystalline waterproofing
and the science behind it
4. Identify case studies where crystalline technology
solved waterproofing issue

Krystol Technology will last the life of the concrete, growing stronger over time. KIM and other Krystol concrete waterproofing products contribute to the overall durability and life expectancy of a building by stopping corrosion, increasing freeze/thaw durability, and protecting against chemical attack, carbonation and other detrimental effects.
