PENETRON is a surface-applied, integral crystalline waterproofing material, which waterproofs and protects concrete in-depth.
It consists of Portland cement, specially treated quartz sand and a compound of active chemicals.
PENETRON needs only to be mixed with water prior to application.
When PENETRON is applied to a concrete surface, the active chemicals react with moisture and the by-products of cement
hydration to cause a catalytic reaction that generates an insoluble, crystalline structure.
These crystals fill the pores and minor shrinkage cracks in the concrete to prevent any further water ingress (even under pressure).
However, PENETRON will still allow the passage of vapor through the structure (i.e. the concrete will be able to “breathe”).
Even after the concrete has cured, PENETRON remains dormant in the concrete and will reactivate in the presence of moisture
to seal capillary tracts and hairline cracks.
In addition to waterproofing the structure, PENETRON protects concrete against seawater, wastewater, aggressive groundwater
and many other aggressive chemical solutions.
PENETRON is approved for use in contact with potable water and is therefore suitable for use in:
water storage tanks, reservoirs, water treatment plants, etc.
