Penetron has been a leading Crystalline waterproofing brand in the Singapore market for over a decade and continuous to lead the market with a string of prestigious ongoing projects and numerous high profile specifications in the city-state’s ambitious development plans. Read on!

After more than 12 successful years in the Singaporean market and riding on a multitude of prestigious projects, excellent application work and product performance, Penetron has clearly established itself as the No. 1 choice on construction sites around the country. Many projects in Singapore face tremendous water pressure as they are built
on reclaimed land, and traditional waterproofing systems are falling short.
Penetron's success has contributed to a paradigm shift away from applying a
temporary superficial product towards really enabling the concrete to
protect itself long term, by means of a crystalline admixture.
In the wake of these achievements, we decided to establish Penetron Singapore Pte Ltd in 2006, so as to further strengthen our position and the Penetron brand name in the market.
Gary Loh, who played a big role in Penetron’s success here and became General Manager of Penetron Singapore, commented that “this setup further displays Penetron’s dedication and long-term commitment to the Singapore market and the entire region by providing superior waterproofing products that are trusted and appreciated by architects, designers, consultants, engineers, developers and applicators the world over.”
Besides the distribution of the Penetron range of products, Penetron Singapore provides technical support to architects and engineers for all their waterproofing needs.
The Penetron system has proven its performance and superiority in a variety of independent laboratory tests and convinced on a large number of jobsites in Singapore gaining the trust and confidence of many satisfied clients including Ascendas, CapitaLand, CDL, CPG Consultants, Far East, Maple Tree, and many more.

Recently completed projects: Changi Aiport Terminal 3, 2001 |
|
Singapore's award winning Changi Airport, built on reclaimed land, had its entire Terminal 3 substructure treated using Penetron® Admix and other components of the Penetron® System, such as Penetron® slurry and Penecrete Mortar.

The crack bridging abilities of the Penetron® System have been superbly demonstrated on this project. After the screeds were removed, the Terminal 3 team was able to witness first hand the effectiveness of Penetron® Admix and see how leaking cracks dried up in a matter of days. The success on the project and the performance of the Penetron® System resulted in a strong recommendation (click here to read recommendation) by the Vice President of the Airport Development Division of CPG consultants. Due to the excellent performance of Penetron on Changi Terminal 3 the following projects were also awarded and waterproofed with Penetron® Admix: The People Mover System, the Baggage Terminal, the 2nd Taxi Bridge and the Aircraft Parking Apron.
