*DECREASED MAINTENANCE COSTS*
*MAXIMIZED BUILDING FOOTPRINT*
KRYSTOL INTERNAL MEMBRANE™ (KIM®) is a hydrophilic crystalline admixture used to create permanently waterproof concrete. KIM lowers the permeability of concrete and is used in place of surface applied waterproofing membranes
- Waterproofs Concrete – Lowers water penetration by reducing permeability by 50-90%, even under extreme hydrostatic pressure
- Self Seals Cracks – Activates in the presence of moisture to seal micro cracks that develop over the lifespan of the structure
- Environmentally Friendly – Safe for potable water and non-toxic
- Protects Reinforcing Steel – Prevents the penetration of waterborne contaminants and chloride laden water that causes the corrosion of reinforcing steel
- Reduces Shrinkage & Cracking – During the plastic and curing stages, increasing quality and longevity of concrete
- Resists Freeze-Thaw – Mitigates the effects of expansion and contraction of freezing and thawing within concrete
KIM is recommended for all concrete that will be subject to water pressure and can be used in cast-in-place, pre-cast and shotcrete applications
