Concrete Knowledge

Kryton is recognized and acknowledged as the specialist in taking the risk out of concrete waterproofing globally. Attendees visiting The Big 5 will learn about Kryton’s Krystol Internal Membrane—Extended Set (KIM-ES) which has been optimized for hot climate challenges and mass concreting. At the Canadian Pavilion, Kryton will display its KIM-ES, which is a modification of Kryton’s KIM, the world’s first integral crystalline waterproofing admixture for concrete that turns an entire concrete mass into a waterproof barrier. The company’s KIM admixture eliminates the need for membranes and is well suited for use in water containment. The new technology provides excellent resistance to harmful caustic effects of contact with sewage, wastewater and waterborne chemicals such as sulphates, chlorides and acids. Kryton’s products are safe for contact with potable water and certified by NSF to NSF/ANSI Standard 61 Drinking Water System Components — Health Effects. Being cognizant of unique regional needs has won Kryton major projects such as the water tanks at the Atlantis Hotel, the repair of water tanks at the Pearl-Qatar, the construction of watertight water tanks at the AI-Falak building in Saudi Arabia and the construction of the drinking water tank at the Emirates Airline call center in Dubai. Uniquely, Kryton provides a complete system that is proven to take the risk out of concrete waterproofing. Kryton offers admixture solutions, surface-applied treatments, repair and maintenance products, joint waterproofing protection and water repellent sealer.
