Kryton’s Krystol® crystalline technology is embedded deep within the concrete matrix, offering permanent, self-sealing protection against water and aggressive chemicals.
When added to concrete, Krystol reacts with water and unhydrated cement particles to form insoluble needle-like crystals. These crystals grow throughout the concrete’s natural pores and capillary tracts, effectively blocking pathways for water and other fluids. The result is a waterproof barrier that becomes an integral part of the concrete itself—not just a surface layer.
Self-Sealing: Krystol technology can seal hairline cracks up to 0.5 mm and reactivates in the presence of moisture.
Resistant to Pressure: Unlike membranes that rely on surface adhesion, Krystol remains effective even under extreme hydrostatic pressure.
Long-Term Durability: Since it’s not exposed to environmental wear and tear, Krystol doesn’t deteriorate over time like conventional waterproofing systems.
Traditional waterproofing methods focus on coating the exterior of concrete. But Kryton’s researchers took a deeper look—into the porous microstructure of concrete itself. Recognizing that water moves through concrete via interconnected capillaries, Kryton developed a chemical solution that migrates through these pathways, triggered by moisture.
Through diffusion, the Krystol chemicals penetrate the concrete mass and react with hydration byproducts to form a permanent crystalline structure. This not only seals existing pores and microcracks but also enables the concrete to self-heal over its service life, providing ongoing protection.
Backed by independent testing, industry certifications, and decades of successful projects worldwide, Kryton’s crystalline technology is the go-to choice for engineers, architects, and contractors seeking durable, low-maintenance, and sustainable concrete waterproofing.
Whether integrated into the mix or applied as a surface treatment, Kryton’s Krystol system is ideal for a wide range of applications—from below-grade foundations and water tanks to tunnels, dams, and treatment plants.
