Smart Concrete Solutions

Описание: In this technical overview, we introduce Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM®) by Kryton International, a proven crystalline waterproofing technology designed for permanent concrete waterproofing in new construction.

This presentation is tailored for engineering consultants, architects, specifiers, and quantity surveyors looking for a reliable and sustainable waterproofing system for critical concrete structures.

KIM® is added directly into the concrete mix, allowing the concrete itself to become waterproof. Through advanced crystalline technology, the system forms insoluble crystals that block water pathways and provide permanent protection against water ingress.

Key highlights covered in this technical overview include:

• Permanent waterproofing integrated into the concrete structure
• Self-sealing capability for cracks up to 0.5 mm
• Independent third-party testing and international certification
• Reduced risk compared to traditional external membrane systems
• Lower lifecycle maintenance requirements
• Sustainability advantages including reduced embodied carbon
• Increased durability and extended service life of concrete structures

Unlike traditional membrane waterproofing systems that can deteriorate or fail over time, KIM® becomes an integral part of the concrete and continues to reactivate in the presence of water, sealing new microcracks as they develop.

This makes it an ideal waterproofing solution for:

• Basements and underground structures
• Water tanks and reservoirs
• Foundations and pile caps
• Parking structures
• Infrastructure and civil works
• Critical waterproofing applications in commercial and residential buildings

For engineers and design consultants, specifying Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM®) helps improve long-term structural performance while supporting sustainable construction practices.
