Penetron - Waterproofing can be simple !

that is capable of penetrating waterproofing Penetron?

Penetron - penetrating waterproofing, which increases the frost resistance, strength and water resistance of concrete.It protects the surface from the effects of alkalis, acids, sea water, groundwater and wastewater.

Furthermore, it is applied to those surfaces which have cracks and pores of not more than 0.4 mm.The main features of this mortar is its radioactive safety and environmental friendliness.Moreover, it can be used in drinking water supply.

Using this material makes it possible to delay penetration of water into the concrete body even under high hydrostatic pressure.Concrete, which is treated with the composition, it is protected from chlorides, carbonates, nitrates, sulfates, etc.

Advantages mixture of Penetron

Penetron, instruction which includes a complete list of specifications, has a number of advantages:

  • not subjected to mechanical wear and tear, as the concrete itself has waterproofing properties and the same life,as waterproofing.Because of this, the term Penetron service increases.
  • manufacturability use of penetrating waterproofing.No need to wait for the complete drying of concrete.Construction of the concrete can be processed on different sides of the penetrating properties of the composition.That is, when there is a basement waterproofing, Penetron is placed on all sides, not otkapyvaya it.
  • mixture has a unique property.She "heals" the pores and through cracks and other defects with the disclosure of a width of not more than 0.5 mm, which appear on the concrete during the operation.If the new cracks, which are formed, flows into the water, then there is the growth of crystals.
  • Thanks Penetron gradually increases water resistance of concrete.
  • It does not affect the strength, mobility, setting time, etc., in addition to water resistance.Concrete, which is treated with Penetron retains vapor permeability.

as an additive in concrete in new construction use Penetron-Admix , whose flow is written in the instructions.Penetron-Admix, which guide includes a step by step description of the process is added to the concrete mix during kneading.

How to use Penetron?

Apply Penetron, which costs an average of 0.5 kg per 1 m2, in two layers.But this depends on the roughness of the surface to be processed.One layer is placed first, and the second - on the first already setted.The solution should be distributed evenly throughout the structure without gaps.

Penetron coated concrete structure requires some care.First, the treated area must be protected from mechanical damage, low temperature (below 5 ° C) and rain for three days.

Secondly, to provide the necessary moisture coated surface during the same three days.To do this, apply the following methods: harbor construction coarse wet cloth or plastic film of polyethylene, and you can use the water spray method.

surface that is covered by the water pressure, a more long-term care.To do this, you need to maintain moisture in the concrete construction for two weeks the above methods.
