At Kryton, we stand at the forefront of concrete waterproofing, durability, and delivering innovative products that set the industry standard.
At Kryton, we proudly invented Krystol Internal Membrane™ (KIM®)—the industry’s first and most effective crystalline waterproofing admixture. Unlike traditional surface-applied membranes, KIM is added directly to the concrete mix, offering a permanent, self-sealing waterproofing solution.
KIM uses proprietary Krystol® technology to form millions of insoluble crystals when water is present. These crystals fill pores and seal microcracks within the concrete, blocking water pathways and providing long-term protection—even under extreme hydrostatic pressure.
Permanent Protection: Once added to the concrete mix, KIM becomes part of the concrete matrix for the life of the structure.
Self-Sealing Technology: KIM automatically reacts to water presence, sealing hairline cracks up to 0.5 mm and reactivating whenever moisture reappears.
Eliminates Surface Membranes: No need for costly, labor-intensive surface waterproofing systems that can deteriorate over time.
Proven Durability: Backed by decades of real-world use in harsh conditions, KIM has been tested and approved for the most demanding construction projects.
KIM is trusted by architects, engineers, and contractors in over 50 countries and has been specified in thousands of critical infrastructure and commercial projects, including water treatment plants, tunnels, basements, parking structures, and high-rise buildings.
When you choose KIM, you’re investing in a proven, reliable, and sustainable waterproofing solution that significantly reduces long-term maintenance, repair costs, and environmental impact.
Kryton is the proud producer of Hard-Cem®, the only integral concrete hardening admixture that provides superior abrasion and erosion resistance from the inside out. Recognized as the leading solution in its category, Hard-Cem is engineered to dramatically enhance the durability and service life of concrete in the most demanding environments.
Full-Depth Protection: Unlike surface hardeners, Hard-Cem’s performance is embedded throughout the concrete, offering reliable protection even as the surface wears over time.
Superior Abrasion Resistance: Extends the life of concrete exposed to heavy traffic, rolling loads, scraping, or grinding.
Enhanced Erosion Resistance: Protects concrete from harsh environmental exposure, including flowing water, sediment, and chemicals.
Simplified Construction: Eliminates the need for surface treatments, saving time, labor, and curing requirements during construction.
Sustainable and Long-Lasting: Reduces lifecycle costs and environmental impact by minimizing maintenance, repair, and replacement needs.
Hard-Cem has been specified in hundreds of high-performance concrete projects across North America and beyond, including:
Warehouse and distribution centers
Industrial and manufacturing facilities
Parking garages and transit terminals
Dams, canals, and spillways
Agricultural and waste processing sites
With decades of field success and third-party testing to validate its performance, Hard-Cem is the trusted choice for engineers, architects, and contractors looking to maximize concrete durability without compromising construction efficiency.
At Kryton, we take the uncertainty out of construction by delivering cutting-edge concrete waterproofing and durability solutions that offer proven, long-lasting performance. Whether you’re building critical infrastructure, commercial developments, or below-grade structures, our innovative technologies are designed to enhance structural integrity, minimize maintenance costs, and extend the service life of concrete in the harshest conditions.
Our Krystol® crystalline technology, empowers builders, engineers, and contractors to protect concrete from water ingress, abrasion, erosion, and corrosion—right from the start.
Permanent Concrete Waterproofing: Our Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) and crystalline systems chemically react within the concrete to form non-soluble crystals, sealing pores and cracks to prevent water penetration.
Superior Durability: Products like Hard-Cem provide full-depth abrasion and erosion resistance, strengthening concrete from the inside out—no surface hardeners or coatings needed.
Reduced Lifecycle Costs: With embedded protection and self-sealing technology, our solutions significantly lower long-term maintenance and repair expenses.
Global Trust & Proven Performance: Trusted in over 50 countries and across thousands of projects, Kryton’s technologies have been validated through decades of successful applications and third-party testing.
Sustainability Built In: By reducing the need for external membranes, reapplications, and repairs, Kryton’s solutions help lower the carbon footprint of your project and support sustainable building practices.
When you choose Kryton, you’re partnering with the world’s most trusted crystalline concrete waterproofing company—a pioneer in integral waterproofing solutions that perform for the life of the structure. Our expertise, product reliability, and commitment to innovation help ensure your projects meet today’s performance standards while standing strong against future environmental challenges.
