Krystol Internal Membrane™ (KIM®)
KIM lowers the permeability of concrete and is used in place of surface applied waterproofing
membranes. By stopping the transmission of water through concrete, KIM adds durability and
longevity to concrete by protecting it against chemical attack and corrosion of reinforcing steel.
KIM contains Krystol technology. When added to concrete, Krystol chemically reacts with water and
un-hydrated cement particles to form insoluble needle-shaped crystals that fill capillary pores and
micro-cracks in the concrete and block the pathways for water and waterborne contaminants. Any
moisture introduced over the lifespan of the concrete will initiate crystallization, ensuring permanent
waterproofing protection.
