What is concrete durability?
“Durability of hydraulic cement concrete is defined as its ability to resist weathering
action, chemical attack, abrasion, or any other process of deterioration. Durable
concrete will retain its original form, quality, and serviceability when exposed to its
environment.” (ACI 201.2R-10)

REACTIONS
OF THE AGGREGATE
(ASR/AAR)
CHEMICAL ATTACK
CORROSION
Strong in compression but weak in tension, concrete
requires the use of reinforcement steel to stop it from
disintegrating under pressure
However, through cracks, voids and pores, concrete
allows water to penetrate and deliver corrosive
chemicals that eventually attack the steel designed to
strengthen it.
Once corrosion starts, it is difficult to determine the
extent of the damage as it can occur anywhere along
the network of steel reinforcement.
FREEZING AND THAWING
Under freezing conditions,
water trapped inside
concrete turns to ice and
expands, creating cracks
When the ice melts, the
water travels yet deeper
into the concrete, where
the same freeze/thaw cycle
is repeated
The use of road salts and
other deicing chemicals
only worsen the problem
by introducing aggressive
chemicals into the concrete

“ In addition, a class of materials referred to as permeabilityreducing admixtures (PRAs) has been developed to improve
concrete durability through controlling water and moisture
movement (Roy and Northwood 1999) as well as by reducing
chloride ion ingress (Munn et al. 2003) and permeability
(Munn et al. 2005). ”

Report on Chemical Admixtures for Concrete (ACI 212.3R-10)
Crystalline admixtures are recommended to reduce
concrete permeability and increase the durability of concrete.
PENETRON ADMIX – THE WORLD’S ONLY
THIRD GENERATION, CRYSTALLINE PRAH
A mixture of active
ingredients in powder
form that is added to
the concrete to form an
insoluble crystalline
structure. The crystals
form deep inside the
concrete, sealing the
pores, capillaries and
shrinkage cracks from
water penetration.
KEY FEATURES
Permanent dry conc
rete
Self-healing throughout the service life
Versatile, can be applied in different ways
No known incompatibilities with workability admixtures
Non-toxic
Protects against chemical attack (pH 3-11)
HOW DOES PENETRON ADMIX WORK?
A conventional concrete matrix has a multitude of micro-cracks,
pores and capillaries through which water enters the concrete
Water passes through the micro-cracks and capillaries in the
concrete
These pores typically have a width of between 0.1 – 0.4 mm
When Penetron Admix is added to the concrete, the
crystalline components react with water, calcium hydroxide
and aluminum as well as various other metal oxides and salts
contained in the concrete
The chemical reaction that follows causes these voids and
cracks to be filled with insoluble crystals
Water is unable to pass through these crystal formations, and
as a result the concrete becomes impermeable
Should new cracks appear throughout the life of the
concrete, crystals will appear in these cr
acks as well,
preventing water from finding new ways to get through
The result is a completely
dry and durable concrete structure
