DESCRIPTION : PENETRON® is a surface-applied, integral crystalline waterproofing material, which waterproofs
and protects concrete in-depth. It consists of Portland cement, specially treated quartz sand and a compound of active chemicals.
PENETRON® needs only to be mixed with water prior to application. When PENETRON® is applied to a concrete surface, the active chemicals react with moisture and the by-products of cement hydration to cause a catalytic reaction that generates an insoluble,
crystalline structure. These crystals fill the pores and minor shrinkage cracks in the concrete to prevent any further water ingress (even under pressure). However, PENETRON® will still allow the passage of vapor through the structure (i.e. the
concrete will be able to “breathe”). Even after the concrete has cured, PENETRON® remains dormant in the concrete and will reactivate in the presence of moisture to seal capillary tracts and hairline cracks.
In addition to waterproofing the structure, PENETRON® protects concrete against seawater, wastewater, aggressive groundwater and many other aggressive chemical solutions. PENETRON® is approved for use in contact with potable water and is therefore suitable for use in water storage tanks, reservoirs, water treatment plants, etc.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Surface preparation:
All concrete to be treated with PENETRON® must be clean and have an
“open” capillary surface. Remove laitance, dirt, grease, etc. by means of high
pressure water jetting, wet sandblasting or wire brushing. Faulty concrete in
the form of cracks, honeycombing, etc. must be chased out, treated with
PENETRON® and filled flush with PENECRETE MORTARTM. Surfaces must
be carefully pre-watered prior to the PENETRON® application. The concrete
surface must be damp but with no wet sheen on the surface.
Mixing:
PENETRON® is mechanically mixed with clean water to a creamy consistency
or resembling thick oil. Mix only as much material as can be used within
20 minutes and stir mixture frequently. If the mixture starts to set, do not add
more water; simply re-stir to restore workability.
Application:
Slurry consistency:
Apply PENETRON® in one or two coats according to
specification by masonry brush or appropriate power spray equipment. When
two coats are specified, apply the second coat while the first coat is still
“green.”
Dry powder consistency (for horizontal surface only):
The specified amount
of PENETRON® is distributed in powder form through a sieve or a semi-mechanical
barrow spreader and troweled into the freshly placed concrete once this has reached initial set.
Post-treatment:
The treated areas should be kept damp for a period of five days and must be
protected against direct sun, wind and frost, by covering with polyethylene
sheeting, damp burlap or similar.
