Kryton invented the world’s first and only permanent crystalline waterproofing admixture. Today, Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) is the most trusted crystalline waterproofing brand in the world.
Kryton’s crystalline technology chemically reacts with water and cement to form insoluble needle-shaped crystals that fill capillary pores and micro-cracks in the concrete. These crystals block pathways for water and waterborne contaminants, ensuring permanent waterproofing protection.
Crystalline technology maintains concrete’s permeability, resulting in a lower cost of ownership and fewer carbon-intensive repairs or replacements over the lifetime of the structure.
Unlike other crystalline products that react with free lime, which eventually depletes over time, Krystol reacts with water and unhydrated cement particles to form insoluble needle-shaped crystals.

Kryton’s Krystol Internal Membrane is the only crystalline technology that has proven its efficacy over 50 years of project success.
This long history of successful applications, backed by comprehensive field data, industry certifications, and many case studies, shows that only Kryton’s technology is proven to withstand various environmental and structural challenges for the long term.
Crystalline technology is recommended for all concrete that will be subject to water pressure and can be used in precast, cast-in-place, and shotcrete applications.
The City applied Kryton’s crystalline solutions, Krystol, to one of four water containment tanks in 1976. In 1981, all tanks required repair apart from the Krystol-treated one. In 2000, the Krystol-treated tank was still watertight and performing as specified.
