The Penetron System

A Complete System of Protection

When PENETRON ADMIX-treated concrete is used, the concrete itself will be waterproof and durable. There are, however, various other areas that are subject to leaks and deterioration, for example, construction joints, tie-holes, honeycombing, cracks etc.

Using the Topical Products in the Penetron Range to solve these issues will ensure the structure is waterproof and protected against deterioration with one single system and one point of contact should there be a need for support.

In order to realize the full benefit of The Penetron System, it is recommended that the supportive products be used as necessary to form a complete system of protection.

PENETRON ADMIX SB

PENETRON ADMIX SB is a crystalline waterproofing admixture packaged in convenient, pre-measured soluble bags for easy application when adding the product to the concrete during batching.

Once inside the concrete, PENETRON ADMIX SB reduces permeability by permanently self-healing microcracks, pores and capillaries. This protects the concrete against water penetration and effects of deterioration, even under high hydrostatic pressure. It provides projects with waterproof and durable concrete that has the ability to self-heal and seal cracks that develop during the lifetime of the concrete.

PENETRON ADMIX SB is the only crystalline admixture in the concrete industry to contain a non-toxic, non-staining tracing agent. The tracing agent can be seen during the placement of concrete (florescent bleed water) and aids as an indicator that PENETRON ADMIX SB was in fact added to the concrete.

PENEBAR SW-55

PENEBAR SW-55 is a waterstop developed to stop water penetration through non-moving construction joints (horizontal/vertical) and around penetrations by expanding in a controlled fashion when exposed to water, forming a positive seal inside the concrete. PENEBAR SW55 can replace the more passive tied in PVC waterstop systems, eliminating welding irons, split forming and special shapes.

PENETRON

PENETRON is a surface-applied, integral crystalline waterproofing material which waterproofs and protects the concrete matrix from within.

PENETRON can be used wherever a secondary coating of concentrated crystalline materials is desired to support the PENETRON ADMIX system.

PENECRETE MORTAR

PENECRETE MORTAR is a crystalline waterproofing repair mortar used to repair tie-holes, cracks and honeycombing. Repairs can be done from either the positive or the negative side of the concrete element.

PENEPLUG

PENEPLUG is a rapid setting, integral crystalline cementitious waterstop designed to stop active water leaks and moisture ingress.
