A clear, reactive penetrating sealer designed to permanently protect, preserve and strengthen concrete and masonry building materials. It was developed to absorb deep into the concrete capillaries and react with hydration products, transforming them into a harder, denser, stronger mass. Manufactured without metallic hydroxides, which alleviates efflorescence and prevents reactive aggregate reactions such as ASR.

A clear, reactive penetrating sealer designed to permanently protect, preserve and strengthen concrete and masonry building materials. It penetrates deep into concrete surfaces and reacts with the elemental concrete ingredients to solidify them into a harder, denser, stronger mass. Alkali salts and minerals are flushed out, eliminating efflorescence and leaching and increasing the bonding of surface coatings.

A spray-on liquid sealer that forms a barrier to seal hairline cracks and protect concrete against water penetration. It creates a sub-surface gel that seals pores, capillaries and cracks, and remains active as long as water is present, sealing future hairline cracks. Because it withstands thermal stress, it is ideal for concrete roofs, podium decks, bridge decks, terraces, traffic-bearing structures, runways and driveways.

Enhances the bonding between pre-formed sealants, like PENEBAR SW, and concrete surfaces, aiding the installation process. Quickly and conveniently applied at the job site by a simple brush application.

Recommended for building foundations, slabs, retaining walls, storage tanks and other immovable cold construction joints. A unique sealing compound designed to expand rapidly when exposed to water, and an ideal self-healing joint material for construction joint applications.
Not rated yet
Creates a physical barrier against water penetration through cast-in-place concrete joints, expanding in a controlled fashion when exposed to water. Its superior ability to expand and seal joints allows it to replace the more passive tied-in PVC waterstop systems, which easily bend over during casting, and eliminates welding irons, split-forming and special shapes.

An advanced crystalline-based two-component injection grout with integral crystalline waterproofing ability, it waterproofs concrete by filling and sealing deeply embedded voids, cracks and fissures, filling hollow spots and voids and adding stability and strength to repaired areas. Its extremely fine particle size lets it penetrate micro-fine hairline cracks, pores and capillaries and seal them with an insoluble crystalline structure; its water-like viscosity allows injection into extremely fine cracks, displacing any water present.

A unique integral crystalline chemical treatment to waterproof and protect concrete, specially formulated for dry-shake application on horizontal concrete surfaces or precast segments where greater impact and abrasion resistance is required. A dry powder of Portland cement, active proprietary chemicals and a synthetic aggregate hardener graded for concrete floors. Dry-shaken onto a fresh slab and trowelled in, it penetrates rapidly and crystal growth takes place deep inside the concrete, providing a permanent seal against water.

A rapid-setting, crystalline-based cementitious compound designed to stop active leaks even under high hydrostatic pressure. Recommended as a waterproof plugging mortar or where rapid setting is required.
Not rated yet
Used in combination with PENETRON for filling non-moving cracks and construction joints, form-tie holes, honeycombed areas and structurally damaged concrete. It consists of Portland cement, very fine treated silica sand and active proprietary chemicals, applied in laminated layers to areas opened and cut back to sound concrete, to protect against water ingress.

The proven Penetron Admix formulation with added red pigment to meet the specification requirements of certain precast underground markets. Packaged in pre-measured soluble bags, it permanently colors the concrete so it is visible at a distance during inspection and signals that genuine product is in the mix. It reduces permeability and protects the concrete against water penetration and corrosion deterioration, even under high hydrostatic pressure.

The same 3rd-generation crystalline admixture, packaged in convenient pre-measured soluble bags for easy addition to the concrete batch. As a quality guarantee it features a unique “green tracer” indicator to signal that genuine PENETRON ADMIX is in the mix. It reduces permeability and protects the concrete against water penetration and deterioration, even under high hydrostatic pressure.
Not rated yet
A non-toxic, 3rd-generation crystalline admixture in powder form that is added to new concrete during batching. It reduces concrete permeability by permanently self-healing microcracks, pores and capillaries and protects the concrete against water penetration and deterioration, even under high hydrostatic pressure, giving waterproof, durable concrete able to seal cracks that develop during its lifetime.
Not rated yet
A surface-applied, integral crystalline waterproofing material used for waterproofing and chemical protection above and below ground. It is applied by brush or spray to the positive or negative side of the concrete and, in the presence of moisture, penetrates deeply into the structure; the resulting chemical reaction fills microcracks, pores and capillaries with an insoluble crystalline formation.

A six-story, 45,455-m² building with laboratories, offices and three manufacturing suites, designed by Pennoni Associates. PENETRON ADMIX SB was added to more than 3,600 m³ of concrete for the below-grade walls and slab-on-grade; the project is designed to achieve LEED Silver.
Replacement of the malfunctioning lift station and further sewer system improvements (rehabilitation, new pipelines and manholes). The ready-mix supplier added Penetron’s antimicrobial admixture and PENETRON ADMIX SB to all concrete elements of the lift station and gravity main to waterproof the concrete, mitigate reinforcement corrosion and extend service life.

An approximately 14.9-km motorway section in northern Slovakia forming a northern bypass of Ružomberok. PENETRON was applied as a topical treatment on the prepared concrete surface to reduce permeability and restrict penetration of water and aggressive chemicals.
A hotel in Jeddah on the Red Sea. The Penetron Middle East team specified an integral waterproofing approach: PENETRON ADMIX at the batching plant, PENEBAR SW45 swellable waterstop strips with PENEBAR PRIMER at construction joints, and PENETRON slurry with PENECRETE MORTAR for localized cracks and tie holes.
