PENETRON:
You will find this text under the reference http://www.penetron.com/en/technical_info.htm

TYPICAL USAGE:
PENETRON® should be applied to concrete or block structures exposed to potential water or chemical attack and thus requiring permanent waterproofing and protection. It's applicability to either the positive side (side exposed to water) or the negative side(side opposite water) meets all waterproofing requirements. Here are just a few examples:

Drinking Water Reservoirs

Sewage and Water treatment tanks

Aquariums

Tunnels

Foundations

Elevator Shafts

Underground vaults

Industrial Installations

Parking Decks

Traffic Bearing Structures

Base Slabs

Diaphragm Walls

Basements

Concrete Roofs

Bathrooms

UNIQUE ADVANTAGES:

PENETRON® should not be confused with a coating or membrane solution. It actually becomes an integral part of the concrete, forming a complete body of strength and durability. The system therefore offers the following benefits:

Penetrates deeply...up to 1 meter !

Seals concrete's capillary tracts and cracks up to 0.4mm.

Permanent; waterproofing and chemical resistance properties remain intact even after surface damage.

cannot come apart at the seams, tear or puncture.

more effective and less costly than other systems such as membranes, clay panels, pore blockers, coatings... -

easy to apply and therefore highly labor-cost effective.

can be applied from either the positive or the negative side.

resists high hydrostatic head pressure.

increases compressive strength of concrete.

does not require protection during backfilling, placement of steel or wire mesh or other common procedures.

resists chemical attack and provides a wide range of protection from freeze-thaw cycles, corrosion of reinforcement steel, aggressive sub-soil waters, sea water, carbonates, chlorides, sulfates and nitrates.

can be applied to moist or green concrete.

can be applied as a slurry (brush or spray), dry-shake or admixture.

non toxic...approved for potable water use by EPA and in many other countries. European environmental license obtained.

no extensive curing times except for extremely hot weather and low humidity.

with a sales history in over 60 countries and distributors around the globe, we can tap into a vast resource of experience and concrete expertise to assist with demanding projects in your area.
