Crystalline Waterproofing  

A surface-applied, integral crystalline waterproofing material, PENETRON is used for waterproofing and chemical protection at above and below ground level.PENETRON is applied by brush or spray to either the positive or the negative side of the concrete and in the presence of moisture penetrates deeply into the structure. The ensuing chemical reaction fills microcracks, pores and capillaries with an insoluble crystalline formation, which prevents water and water-borne chemicals from entering, even under high hydrostatic pressure. Cracks that develop during the lifetime of the concrete are resealed by PENETRON, resulting in permanent concrete protection.

PENETRON ADMIX SB is identical to our 3rd generation crystalline admixture, but packaged in convenient, pre-measured soluble bags for easy application when adding the product to the new concrete batch. As a quality guarantee, PENETRON ADMIX SB features our unique ‘green tracer' indicator to signal that genuine PENETRON ADMIX is in the mix.


Once inside the concrete, PENETRON ADMIX SB reduces permeability by permanently sealing micro-cracks, pores and capillaries. This protects the concrete against water penetration and effects of deterioration, even under high hydrostatic pressure. It provides projects with a self-healing capability to reseal cracks that develop during the lifetime of the concrete.


PENETRON ADMIX SB is compatible with all commonly used workability admixtures (e.g. superplasticizers, retarders) and mix design formulations (trial mixes recommended prior to casting).

Used in combination with PENETRON for filling non-moving cracks and construction joints, form-tie holes, honey-combed areas and structurally damaged concrete. PENECRETE MORTAR consists of Portland cement, very fine treated silica sand and various active, proprietary chemicals. It is applied in laminated layers to areas that have been opened and cut-back to sound concrete for repair to provide protection against water ingress.

Waterstops  

PENEBAR SW 55 creates a physical barrier against water penetration through cast-in-place concrete joints that expand (in a controlled fashion) when exposed to water.Its superior ability to expand and seal concrete joints allows it to replace the more passive tied in PVC water stop systems, which easily bend over during casting, and eliminate welding irons, split-forming and special shapes.
