The TOP 4 Aspects About Crystalline Waterproofing Admixtures to Consider

As an engineer, you want to know that the technology you’re working with is
time-proven so that you can ensure your structures will have a long service life.
The best way to determine that for crystalline waterproofing admixtures is by
taking a look at how they got started. To do that, we’ll first take you through a bit
of Kryton’s history.
More than 40 years ago now, here at Kryton, we were looking to provide a better
solution to the waterproofing market, and under that mindset came the creation of Krystol® technology. Applying this surface treatment to concrete allowed the concrete to chemically react to any incoming water, forming crystals to block micro-cracks, capillaries, and other potential water pathways.
It wasn’t long before we took this concept to the next level, putting the
technology itself into the concrete. From there, the first crystalline waterproofing
admixture, the Krystol Internal Membrane™ (KIM ®), was born!
By 1983, engineers trusted KIM to replace the need for waterproofing
membranes and help tank the largest building by volume ever built at the time,
the Boeing Development Center. As a result, its 62+ acres of space have
remained watertight and dry for over 35 year
