Penetron Integral Capillary Waterproofing Systems
- 13 years ago
Penetron’s waterproofing effect is achieved by the reaction of the various chemical components contained in the solution when combined within the concrete matrix. The compound penetrates deep into the capillary tracts of the concrete by pressure of osmosis and forms crystals that completely seal the capillaries and shrinkage
cracks to drive out moisture. The process works with or against the pressure of water. In the absence of moisture, Penetron components lie dormant. Should moisture recur at any time, the chemical action and sealing process repeats itself automatically and
advances even more deeply into the concrete. Penetron chemicals will continuously
seal and reseal due to their chemical nature. Crystalline growth from capillary waterproofing has been measured as deep as nearly 1 meter from the point of application. Penetron® is 100% compatible with concrete, brick, mortar, and stone
