  2. Content • KRYSTOL INTERNAL MEMBRANE Description Advantages Figures Comparison Table • KRYSTOL T1, T2 Description Features • Conclusion

  3. KRYSTOL INTERNAL MEMBRANE (KIM) Description • It is a powdered admixture, consisting of blended Portland cement and some chemicals. • It is an admixture at concrete batching plants or at the job site. • It involves a unique crystal growth process that is initiated throughout the concrete mass. • These crystals effectively seal all pores and cracks in the concrete. • The KIM treatment is permanent as it forms an integral part of the concrete resulting in permanent protection.

  4. Advantages KIM will provide protection against: • Moisture • The corrosion of reinforcing steel • Concrete shrinkage cracks • Freeze/thaw damage • Sulphates

  5. Also • It will Reduce water demand • It will reduce porosity and permeability • It prevent the washing away of other admixtures. • It will Increase compressive strength • It will works as plasticizers • It will reduce the cost of • Materials • Labor • Repair

  8. KRYSTOL T1, T2 Description • Krystol T1 is a dry powder containing organic chemicals and cementitious materials. • When it goes into solution, the chemicals are drawn into the pores of the concrete. • Krystol T1 reacts with the concrete by forming hydration crystals which block the voids, microcracks within the concrete mass. • Krystol T2, when mixed with water and applied to concrete, penetrates into the concrete mass protecting against the passage of water.

  9. Features • Stops water movement in concrete • Waterproofs minor cracking • Protects reinforcing steel against corrosion • Provides a permanent treatment • Used for indoor or outdoor applications

  10. Conclusion • The use of these materials will Extend the life of the concrete dramatically • The result is a structure with reduced cracking, self sealing and water resistant abilities that provides defense against water damages and corrosion of reinforcement.
