Krystal 2000 is a hydrophilic crystalline admixture that is specially designed to permanently waterproof concrete. It is specifically designed for use above and below the grade applications. It lowers the permeability of concrete and is used in place of surface-applied waterproofing membranes for improved durability and longevity of concrete.
Application Areas
- Suitable for above and below the grade applications
- Recreational facilities such as aquatic centers, aquariums, zoos, water parks, and marinas
- Concrete structural elements, such as decks, slabs, column, beams and exteriors Precast, cast-in-place and shotcrete applications.
- Â 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.
Features/Benefits
- Protects concrete against negative and positive 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 coatings, Krystal 2000 when added to concrete during mixing becomes an integral part of the concrete for optimum performance
- Self-seals hairline cracks up to 0.5mm (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 wastes.
- Suitable for concrete application for water impermeability.
