    KIM - Krystol Internal Membrane

    Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) is a hydrophilic crystalline admixture used to create permanently waterproof concrete.

    Architects and engineers seeking reliable solutions for water infrastructure projects can rely on Kryton's Smart Concrete technology. Our products deliver permanent watertightness and durability, extending the concrete's lifespan and significantly reducing the total cost of ownership. Kryton's solutions also minimize the structure's embodied carbon footprint, helping meet sustainability goals while effectively combating common issues like leaks, corrosion, and erosion caused by ASR, freeze-thaw cycles, H2S, and others.

    Specification
    • KIM contains Krystol technology which offers built-in waterproofing and water tightness. While many products in the market react with free lime, which diminishes over time, KIM interacts directly with water and un-hydrated cement particles. This reaction produces insoluble crystals that fill the concrete's pores and micro-cracks, blocking water and contaminants from entering or exiting the structure. The brilliance of KIM is its enduring
