Penetron Admix
An integral crystalline waterproofing admixture added to new concrete during batching. Penetron Admix reacts with moisture to form insoluble crystals, sealing micro-cracks and pores, thus enhancing durability and reducing permeability.

Penetron Admix
Permanent Concrete Waterproofing Solution
An integral crystalline waterproofing admixture designed for long-term concrete durability. PENETRON ADMIX is added to the concrete mix at the batching plant, ensuring complete, integral waterproofing from within. By reacting with moisture and unhydrated cement particles, the admixture forms insoluble crystals that fill micro-cracks, pores, and capillaries. This process provides a permanent self-sealing capability, preventing water ingress and increasing concrete resistance to harsh environmental conditions. Ideal for water-retaining structures, tunnels, basements, and high-performance infrastructure, it significantly enhances concrete lifespan while reducing maintenance costs.
Key Features of PENETRON ADMIX
Integral Waterproofing
PENETRON ADMIX becomes part of the concrete, permanently sealing micro-cracks and capillaries to prevent water ingress.
Self-Sealing Capability
Micro-cracks up to 0.5mm automatically heal when exposed to moisture, ensuring long-term durability.
Chemical Resistance
Protects concrete against chloride ion penetration, sulfates, and aggressive chemicals.
