Features of PENETRON®materials:
Features of the waterproofing with application of Penetron® materials:
• active chemical components of materials of Penetron® system get deeply into concrete and cause reactions within which capillaries, microcracks and voids of concrete in size to 0,4 mm are filled with insoluble crystals
• application of materials allows to raise a class of water resistance of concrete and ferro-concrete designs not less than by four steps
• application of materials allows to provide a durable waterproofing – within all service life of a concrete construction
• application of materials are effective on the concrete of W0 type (with capillaries, microcracks and voids up to 0,4 mm)
• both interior and exterior surfaces of a design can be treated by the materials irrespective of water pressure direction
• materials of Penetron ®system are applied only onto a damp surface or a green concrete surface
• preliminary drying of a surface is not required
• technonology of materials application does not demand difficult and long preparation of a surface
• in case of mechanical damage of the treated surface the obtained waterproofing and protective properties of a concrete design do not vary
• materials are applied under influence of hydrostatic pressure
• materials are simple in use. It is necessary to accurately follow the instructions on application
• materials are applied in facilities are being built and constructions maintained
• materials are more effective and economic in comparison with other ways of waterproofing
• the treated concrete keeps vaporpermeabilty
• the processed concrete surface gets corrosion firmness to influence of chemical substances
• use of materials allows to raise frost resistance and durability of concrete
• application of materials allows to prevent corrosion of reinforcement bars in ferro concrete
• materials are not explosive
• materials are not toxic
• materials are not combustible
• materials have a long period of storage (18 months since the date of production)
• materials are certificated for application in tanks with potable water
• the processed concrete gets self-healing ability
• the processed concrete keeps all obtained waterproofing characteristics even provided that high radiation influence is.
Fields of application of waterproofing materials and other special ones Penetron ®system:
Maritime construction:
• Repair and restoration of piers, breakwaters, chambers of docks, gravitational quays etc;
Facilities of industrial hydrotechnics:
• Hyperbolic water cooling towers, treatment facilities, air tanks , filters-sediment bowls, concreting of tanks for potable water, repair of dams of different function;
Industrial construction:
• Tunnels, mines, pump stations, collectors, bombproof shelters, any types of belowground concrete premises, pillars of bridges, traffic intersections;
Civil construction:
• Waterproofing of basements and foundations, waterproofing of overlapping of bathrooms, etc. cutting waterproofing on the foundations
Comparative characteristic of types of waterproofing
Type of waterproofing | Concrete characteristics after application | Adhesion to concrete | Service life of a waterproofing | Influence on a waterproofing of aggressive chemical environments | Mechanical influence on a design treated by waterproofing material | Influence of an ultraviolet |
Bitumen | Don’t vary | weak | From 3 months to 1.5 years | does not protect concrete from chemically active environments | not allowed | Subject to destruction |
Bitumen and latex | Don’t vary | strong | From 1 to 5 years | does not protect concrete from chemically active environments | not allowed | Subject to destruction |
Mastic | Don’t vary | strong | From 1 to 5 years | does not protect concrete from chemically active environments | allowed | Not Subject to destruction |
Membrane | Don’t vary | weak | From 1 to 5 years | does not protect concrete from chemically active environments | not allowed | Not Subject to destruction |
Painting waterproofing | Don’t vary | strong | From 3 months to 5 years | does not protect concrete from chemically active environments | superficial deformation of a waterproofing layer is allowed | Subject to destruction |
Penetrating waterproof-ing | Strength,water resistance, frost resistance increase | Become a concrete component | From 5 to 100 years | Resists to influence of active chemical environments | Installation of concrete nails is allowed | Not Subject to destruction |
