Products Used

PENETRON ADMIX SB is packaged in pre-measured soluble bags to simplify accurate batching of the concrete mix. Once exposed to moisture, the active ingredients in PENETRON ADMIX SB react to form insoluble crystals, which fill the cracks, pores, and voids in the concrete – becoming an integral part of the concrete matrix. The formation of the crystals throughout the concrete matrix prevents water to pass through the concrete mechanical pits – even under constant exposure to the hydrostatic pressure of groundwater – mitigating corrosion of the embedded reinforcing steel and resulting concrete deterioration.
