Ensure the reliability and sustainability of your structures by specifying Kryton’s waterproofing and durability solutions.
Abrasion, erosion and/or water infiltration can lead to early deterioration of your concrete structure, resulting in unplanned maintenance and repair expenses, costly downtime and potentially early replacement of the structure. Both KIM and Hard-cem are proven solutions for greatly extending the service life of concrete placements.
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.
Engineers rely on independently tested and certified materials to ensure quality and compliance with stringent industry standards. Unverified materials can jeopardize the safety and integrity of structures. KIM is regularly tested and certified by independent bodies, such as the BBA, NSF, CE, KIWA and others, so you can trust that KIM will meet your expectations.
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.
Rely on methodologies and scientifically proven materials with a track record of performance in diverse conditions.
Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) has been used for over 40 years, providing permanent waterproofing to concrete structures worldwide. Its proven efficacy in diverse conditions—from high hydrostatic pressure environments to marine structures—ensures reliable performance.
Hard-Cem is a trusted concrete admixture with over 20 years of proven performance, enhancing concrete’s abrasion and erosion resistance and more than doubling its wear life. Hard-Cem’s successful application in high-traffic and industrial areas demonstrates its robustness and reliability across various demanding conditions.
Use solutions that meet and exceed stringent industry standards for quality and reliability.
Kryton’s products, including Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) and Krystol Waterstop System , are independently tested and certified to meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for potable water contact, ensuring they are safe and reliable. They also meet all requirements of ACI 212.3R as a Permeability-Reducing Admixture for Hydrostatic Conditions (PRAH).
Con-Fume Con-Fume, our silica fume-based supplementary cementitious material, meets all CSA A3001-13 and ASTM C1240-14 specifications, providing high performance and adherence to industry standards.
Hard-Cem has been added to over 100 million ft2 of concrete and is published in ACI E701-E4 Chemical Admixtures.
Specify solutions that contribute to environmental sustainability, reduce the embodied carbon footprint of your structures, and enhance the durability and longevity of structures, minimizing the need for future repairs and replacements.
By significantly extending the lifespan of concrete, Hard-Cem reduces the need for frequent repairs and replacements, thereby lowering the embodied carbon footprint over the structure’s lifetime. Its integration into the concrete mix also reduces the need for additional surface-applied materials.
Krystol Internal Membrane’s ability to make concrete permanently waterproof eliminates the need for external membranes and associated materials. This not only streamlines construction but also contributes to a lower carbon footprint by reducing the use of additional resources and materials over the concrete’s lifecycle.
