Krystol Broadcast™
Krystol Broadcast is a dry shake crystalline waterproofing treatment designed to transform new flatwork concrete into a permanent waterproofing barrier.
Krystol Broadcast is applied during the final finishing phase, becoming an integral part of the concrete. This process replaces the need for conventional membrane waterproofing systems. Featuring a unique fugitive dye to ensure uniform distribution, Krystol Broadcast produces a smooth finish suitable for non-air entrained slabs.
How It Works
Krystol Broadcast incorporates Krystol technology, which chemically reacts with water and un-hydrated cement particles in the concrete. This reaction forms needle-shaped crystals that fill capillary pores and micro-cracks, permanently blocking pathways for water and waterborne contaminants. Any moisture introduced over the lifespan of the concrete will initiate further crystallisation, ensuring continuous waterproofing protection.
Product Benefits
- Ensures permanent waterproofing of the concrete
- Resists extreme hydrostatic pressure
- Shields reinforcing steel from corrosion
- Automatically seals minor cracks
- Fugitive dye ensures even application
- Suitable for use as a wear surface
- Penetrates deeply and is unaffected by surface wear or abrasion
- Allows for painting or any standard floor finish on the concrete
Application
Krystol Broadcast is ideal for creating a smooth finished floor on thick concrete slabs that will be power-trowelled. Suitable applications include:
- Slabs on-grade, below grade or elevated
- Parking and marine structures
- Reservoirs
- Water treatment plants
- Pits
- Warehouse and commercial floors
- Basements
