Krystal 2000
Krystal 2000 is a hydrophilic crystalline waterproofing admixture that is specially designed to permanently waterproof concrete. It is specifically designed for use in above and below grade concrete applications and can also be used in places where surface waterproofing membranes are applied for improved durability and longevity of concrete.
Description
Krystal 2000 is a hydrophilic crystalline waterproofing admixture that is specially designed to permanently waterproof concrete. It is specifically designed for use in above and below grade concrete applications and can also be used in places where surface waterproofing membranes are applied for improved durability and longevity of concrete.
Advantages
- Protects concrete against negative water pressure
- It is a Permeability Reducing Admixture for Hydrostatic conditions (PRAH).
- Reduces permeability of the concrete.
- Helps to increase the compressive strength of concrete
- Unlike coating, Krystal 2000 when added to concrete during mixing becomes an integral part of the concrete for optimum performance
- Self-seals hairline cracks up to 5mm (0.02in.)
- Protects concrete against chemical attack and corrosion of reinforcing steel.
- Certified by NSF to NSF/ANSI standard 61
- Suitable for (CEM I,II,III) grade binder used in concreting
- Reduced concrete shrinkage and cracking
- Excellent resistance to waterborne chemicals
- Protection against sewage and industrial
- Suitable for concrete application for water impermeability.
Area of Use
- Suitable for above and below grade applications such as Foundations, underground vaults, Roof tops e.t.c.
- Recreational facilities such as aquatic centers, aquariums, zoos, and parks.
- Concrete structural elements, such as decks, slabs, column, beams and exteriors Precast, cast-in-place and shotcrete applications.
- Concrete subjected to wet, harsh and aggressive environment
- Below grade parking structures, basements, elevator pits and foundations of high-rise towers
- Architectural water features such as fountains and waterfalls
- Water containment reservoirs, water treatment tanks, sewage and manholes
- Traffic tunnels, below grade pipelines and subway tunnels
- Bridges, dams and highway infrastructure
