A cementitious crystalline slurry that is applied to horizontal and vertical construction joints to provide additional waterproofing and protect rebar from corrosion.
Krystol technology reacts with moisture to form insoluble needle-shaped crystals that fill capillary pores and micro-cracks in the concrete and block the pathways for water and waterborne contaminants.
Unlike other crystalline solutions that react with free lime that eventually depletes over time, Krystol Waterstop chemically reacts with water and unhydrated cement particles. Any moisture introduced over the lifespan of the concrete will initiate crystallization, ensuring permanent waterproofing and watertightness protection.
- Easy to install
- Provides a permanent waterstop treatment as part of the Krystol Waterstop System
- Durable; resistant to rain and foot traffic once hardened
- Safe for contact with potable water; certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61
- Easy to inspect; distinctive yellow color increases reliability and quality control
Use Kryton’s joint waterproofing system to waterproof and protect:
- Static concrete-to-concrete joints where there is any concern regarding water penetration
- Preplanned and unintended shotcrete cold joints
- Crack control joints
