Elevate sustainability and structural longevity by specifying Kryton’s waterproofing and durability solutions.
High-strength concrete mixes and traditional waterproofing solutions increase the carbon footprint of projects, making it difficult to meet sustainability goals and reduce environmental impact. Both KIM and Hard-cem can help you achieve your concrete’s performance goals without increasing cement and carbon.
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.
Liquid sealers or powdered treatments to industrial floor surfaces are unreliable and ineffective methods for achieving long-term durability and performance. Only the full depth protection afforded by integral technologies such as Hard-cem and KIM can maintain the appearance and service life of your concrete placement.
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..
Our innovative concrete admixtures significantly lower the carbon footprint of your projects and contribute to a more sustainable built environment.
Hard-Cem increases the wear life of concrete by more than double, reducing the need for frequent replacements and repairs. By extending the lifespan of concrete structures, Hard-Cem minimizes the embodied carbon associated with maintenance and reconstruction.
Con-Fume, a silica fume-based supplementary cementitious material (SCM), allows for a reduction in the amount of carbon-intensive Portland cement required in concrete mixes. This not only decreases the carbon footprint but also enhances the strength and durability of the concrete, contributing to long-lasting structures.
Achieve optimal waterproofing performance and durability without the need for additional waterproofing layers or surface-applied hardeners, simplifying design and reducing material use.
Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) transforms the concrete itself into a waterproof barrier, eliminating the need for external waterproofing membranes. This reduces material usage, streamlines construction, and ensures long-term waterproofing without ongoing maintenance.
Krystol Waterstop System provides permanent waterproofing for construction joints, penetrations, and tie-holes, eliminating the need for additional materials. The system’s integral nature simplifies the construction process and ensures reliable, long-lasting waterproofing.
Design buildings that withstand extreme weather conditions and environmental stressors, ensuring longevity and resilience in the face of climate change.
By ensuring that concrete structures remain watertight over their entire lifespan, Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) protects buildings from water ingress, which can cause structural damage and reduce resilience. Its ability to reactivate and form new crystals whenever water is present ensures continuous protection.
Krystol Repair Grout and Krystol Leak Repair System provide permanent repairs for leaks and cracks, maintaining the integrity of structures exposed to harsh conditions. By quickly addressing and resolving these issues, they prevent further damage and extend the life of the structure.
