Premature deterioration<\/h4>\n[vc_column_text css=””]Abrasion, erosion and\/or water infiltration can lead to early deterioration of your concrete structure, resulting in unplanned maintenance and repair expenses, costly downtime and potentially early replacement of the structure. Both KIM and Hard-cem are proven solutions for greatly extending the service life of concrete placements.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner ts_bgcolor=”grey” width=”1\/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1746387963863{padding-top: 20px !important;}”]

Unproven technologies<\/h4>\n[vc_column_text css=””]Most strategies for integral waterproofing, durability enhancement and carbon reduction are relatively recent innovations. Their long-term performance is yet to be proven. Kryton\u2019s Krystol technology has been proving itself for more than 50 years and KIM admixture for more than 44 years. You can trust that Kryton products will not let you down.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1746387942491{padding-top: 20px !important;}”]

Lack of credible, third-party testing<\/h4>\n[vc_column_text css=””]Engineers rely on independently tested and certified materials to ensure quality and compliance with stringent industry standards. Unverified materials can jeopardize the safety and integrity of structures. KIM is regularly tested and certified by independent bodies, such as the BBA, NSF, CE, KIWA and others, so you can trust that KIM will meet your expectations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner ts_bgcolor=”grey” width=”1\/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1746387951539{padding-top: 20px !important;}”]

High embodied carbon<\/h4>\n[vc_column_text css=””]High-strength concrete mixes and traditional waterproofing solutions increase the carbon footprint of projects, making it difficult to meet sustainability goals and reduce environmental impact.

Solutions with Proven Success<\/h2>\n[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Rely on methodologies and scientifically proven materials with a track record of performance in diverse conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM)<\/strong>\u00a0has been used for over 40 years, providing permanent waterproofing to concrete structures worldwide. Its proven efficacy in diverse conditions\u2014from high hydrostatic pressure environments to marine structures\u2014ensures reliable performance.<\/p>\n

Hard-Cem<\/strong>\u00a0is a trusted concrete admixture with over 20 years of proven performance, enhancing concrete\u2019s abrasion and erosion resistance and more than doubling its wear life. Hard-Cem\u2019s successful application in high-traffic and industrial areas demonstrates its robustness and reliability across various demanding conditions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column ts_col_bg_expand=”right” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1746392522361{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/smartsealed.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/AdobeStock_412042699.jpg?id=8033) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1746389616327{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″]

Independently Tested and Certified<\/h2>\n[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Use solutions that meet and exceed stringent industry standards for quality and reliability.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kryton\u2019s products, including\u00a0Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM)\u00a0and\u00a0Krystol Waterstop System\u00a0<\/strong>, are independently tested and certified to meet NSF\/ANSI Standard 61 for potable water contact, ensuring they are safe and reliable. They also meet all requirements of ACI 212.3R as a Permeability-Reducing Admixture for Hydrostatic Conditions (PRAH).<\/p>\n

Con-Fume<\/strong>, Kryton’s silica fume-based supplementary cementitious material, meets all CSA A3001-13 and ASTM C1240-14 specifications, providing high performance and adherence to industry standards.<\/p>\n

Hard-Cem<\/strong> has been added to over 9 million m\u00b2 of concrete and is published in ACI E701-E4 Chemical Admixtures.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1746372068779{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″]

Reduce Lifetime Carbon Footprint<\/h2>\n[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Specify solutions that contribute to environmental sustainability, reduce the embodied carbon footprint of your structures, and enhance the durability and longevity of structures, minimizing the need for future repairs and replacements.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By significantly extending the lifespan of concrete,\u00a0Hard-Cem<\/strong>\u00a0reduces the need for frequent repairs and replacements, thereby lowering the embodied carbon footprint over the structure\u2019s lifetime. Its integration into the concrete mix also reduces the need for additional surface-applied materials.<\/p>\n

Krystol Internal Membrane\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0ability to make concrete permanently waterproof eliminates the need for external membranes and associated materials. This not only streamlines construction but also contributes to a lower carbon footprint by reducing the use of additional resources and materials over the concrete\u2019s lifecycle.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″]
