PENETRON
DESCRIPTION:
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 combine
with the free lime and moisture present in the
capillary tracts of the concrete to form 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, the Penetron will still allow
the passage of vapor through the structure (i.e. the
concrete will be able to “breathe”). In addition to
waterproofing the structure, Penetron protects
concrete against seawater, wastewater, aggressive
ground water 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. Penetron is not a decorative material
