KRISTALION ADMIX L

Waterproofing concrete and mortar admixture with Crystalline properties/reaction. KRISTALION ADMIX L is a water resisting admixture in liquid form. It reacts chemically with the products of the cement hydration creating crystals, that block the pores of hardened concrete and reduce the permeability of concrete.

It complies with EN 934-2 table 9.

Concrete & Mortar Admixtures

KRISTALION ADMIX L is used in foundations, canal construction, sewage works, tunnels, ports and hydraulic works, retaining walls, power stations, underground walls, water tanks etc.

Advantages

  • It improves watertightness of concrete through crystals that are formed inside the pores.
  • It enhances the resistance of concrete against carbonation and chemical attack (chlorides, sulfates, etc.).
  • It induces to concrete better resistance to frost and to thawing salts.
  • No additional mechanical equipment is required due to its liquid form.
  • No additional mixing time is required due to liquid form of the material and direct addition to the concrete mixer.
  • It doesn’t contain chloride.
  • It doesn’t contain VOC.

KRISTALION ADMIX L is added to the mixer of the production plant. If not possible, it can be added to the truck mixer on job site, mixing at high speed.

For reduced water permeability concrete, W/C ≤ 0.50 and minimum cement content of 350 kg/m³ are required.

It is recommended to perform initial tests for the desired water permeability and consistency of the concrete mix

Dosage

For normal conditions from 0.7 to 2.5% on cement weight.

KRISTALION ADMIX L is compatible with the range of admixtures offered by our company.

Packaging

IBCs of 1100 kg, drums of 240 kg, containers of 20 kg.

Shelf life

At least 9 months in the original sealed containers at a cool spot. If frozen, it can be defrosted at low temperature (30°C) under continuous stirring and used without problem.
