THE CONCRETE SOLUTION.
Concrete with the highest level of durability.
The world’s most popular building material. Billions of cubic meters of
concrete are poured or pre-cast every year. Concrete is used on almost every
type of construction project around the world. The quality of the concrete
is usually defined by its structure and strength. These characteristics have
enabled the design of attractive structures that need to be durable and
capable of withstanding extreme or aggressive environments.
Durability: Boguchany Dam, Russia
Reliability: Changi Airport, Terminal 3, Singapore
Currently the largest dam in Russia, deterioration
of older concrete parts required repair and water–
proofing to withstand high hydrostatic pressure.
The PENETRON System was successfully used on
the concrete structures.
This newest showcase Terminal 3 in Singapore
features innovative passenger faciliti
es and modern
architecture. PENETRON ADMIX was used throughout the concrete structures to provide a high level
of durability and a long-lasting solution.
v
Durability. PENETRON products are formulated to react with key concrete
components to produce an integral crystalline formation. PENETRONtreated concrete shows vastly improved chloride diffusion and sulphate
resistance, permeability, drying shrinkage and freeze-thaw cycles as well
as self-healing capabilities. The service life of PENETRON-treated concrete
is about three times that of conventional concrete.
v
Deterioration and costs. Unfortunately, concrete is an imperfect material;
countless structures deteriorate severely and fail long before their design life
expires. For building owners (and builders), the premature loss of concrete
structures or the corresponding maintenance and repair can quickly reach
prohibitive cost levels.
A delicate material. Concrete is essentially a hard, porous and
absorbent material that can
crack and allow water to easily penetrate
through pores, micro-cracks and capillary tracts. The result is a wide
range of problems that damage the concrete or the underlying reinforcing
steel. This dramatically affects the durability and the lifespan of concrete.
Performance: South Cobb Tunnel, USA
This deep tunnel (maximum depth: 122 m/400 ft.)
features a lift station to convey wastewater
(130 million gallons per day) to the treatment plant.
Over 20,000 cubic yards (15,300m3) of concrete
were treated with PENETRON ADMIX.

Staying on track: No matter how large the project
Even the largest civic projects benefit from
PENETRON technology to waterproof and enhance
the durability of concrete structures. The integrated
nature of a crystalline system also provides a
scheduling advantage.

Reducing permeability: Dali Museum, USA
Optimizing high performance
Built to withstand a 165-mph hurricane, the Dali Museum
used PENETRON ADMIX to elimina
te water infiltration in
unpainted walls and reduce permeability from seawater
incursion during storms at this coastal location.
with a low-permeability concrete design.
An economical and environmentally friendly solution. By removing water from the
concrete matrix, the life span and durability of concrete can be significantly increased.
Adding a crystalline admixture to the concrete mix reduces permeability, increases
density and promotes active self-healing. This is superior to traditional methods
of producing low permeability concrete (manipulating the water-cement ratio and
introducing passive pore blockers). A crystalline admixture is also more economical
and environmentally friendly.
Durable concrete is better concrete. Reducing permeability in concrete keeps water
and waterborne contaminants out of the concrete matrix. The American Concrete
Institute (ACI) in their *Report on Chemical Admixtures for Concrete clearly spells
out the advantages of a crystalline waterproofing solu
tion as “a superior product
to reduce permeability in concrete under hydrostatic pressure (compared to
hydrophobic pore blockers and colloidal silica) and thereby significantly increases
the durability and lifetime of concrete structures.”

Permeability exposes concrete. Concrete is naturally porous due to the nature of
concrete placement that allows the presence of cracks, voids and capillaries. This
allows water and waterborne contaminants to enter the concrete, either by capillary
absorption or under hydrostatic pressure. Such permeability exposes concrete to
deterioration and premature failure.
Reducing permeability: Ferrari GES, Italy
With expansive below ground levels in the new center
for Ferrari’s Formula One team, PENETRON ADMIX
was specified as the ideal waterproofing
solution for
a relatively high water table in order to resist the
water pressure at the construction site.

Protecting concrete against. . .almost everything.
Preventing corrosion, freeze-thaw damage, scaling and other problems
Preventing problems to extend concrete life span. Using an
integral waterproofing solution improves concrete durability and
reduces permeability. This added protection also helps eliminate
a number of potential issues that can seriously compromise
and deteriorate the structure. The main reasons for concrete
deterioration include:
Corrosion of the reinforcement steel due to water penetration
Damage from repeated freeze-thaw cycles
Alkali-silica reactions (ASR)
Attacks by various aggressive chemicals such as chlorides,
sulfates and acids
Damage from concrete scaling
Self-healing. The PENETRON system provides concrete with
the capacity to self-heal micro-cracks up to 0.4 mm throughout
its service life. No further treatment or maintenance is required

Preventing corrosion: Heritage Wharf, Bermuda
This cruise ship pier in Bermuda needed critical repairs to
worse-than-expected erosion damage. PENETRON ADMIX
was used in the reinforced concrete marine wharf structures
to protect the non-galvanized reinforcements.

Freeze/thaw resistance: Ohio National Bikeway, USA
PENETRON technology reinforced the entire pedestrian/
bike tunnel. It also solved the overwhelming drainage
problems and will prevent any future water penetration
and damage to the historic tunnel.

A crystalline solution to concrete problems.
The science behind PENETRON technology
Waterproofing Concrete
APPLIED TO A SURFACE
A micro solution for a macro problem. Because water and waterborne contaminants penetrate concrete
mainly through capillary absorption and hydrostatic pressure, countering this problem demands a “molecular
level” solution. Our PENETRON crystalline waterproofing technology was developed and optimized over many
years through careful micro
engineering. The results speak for our success.

THIS IS HOW PENETRON TECHNOLOGY WORKS:
1.
Typical concrete structure with moisture.
2)
PENETRON is applied to positive
or negative side.
3)
The crystalline technology successively
blocks moisture penetration.
The PENETRON chemicals penetrate into the
cracks, micro-cracks and capillary tracts of the
concrete through osmosis, Brownian movement
and dry particle reactions.

2. The PENETRON active ingredients react with

Water molecules (and harmful chemicals) can
no longer pass through the concrete. However,
air can still pass, allowing the concrete to breathe.
This avoids the build-up of vapor pressure.

the batch at the time of mixing.

concrete minerals to form insoluble crystals,
which fill in cracks, pores and voids up to a width
of 400 microns (0.4mm). This crystalline growth
takes place deep inside the concrete structure
relatively far from the point of application.
In the absence of further moisture, the PENETRON
components lie dormant. Should moisture
reoccur at any time, the sealing process resumes
automatically and advances deeper into
the concrete.

PENECRETE MORTAR is used to seal
