When specifying waterproofing solutions for concrete construction projects, some may think that it comes down to two choices: external membranes or crystalline waterproofing admixtures. On the membrane side, you have what looks like a number of different styles to choose from (even if they are prone to failure) while crystalline admixtures are seen as all the same. So if you choose an admixture like that, it all just comes down to price then, right?

While that is a common thought about crystalline admixtures, it can lead to critical waterproofing failures if you’re not careful. After all, appearances can be deceiving! Crystalline waterproofing admixtures are not all the same, and your choice could mean the difference between the success and failure of your project. If you only look at price, you could end up with a poorly performing solution and an unhappy client or worse, the catastrophic failure of your structure.

To give you a better idea of why that is, we’ll give you three key reasons for why our own Krystol Internal Membrane™ (KIM^®) admixture stands out from the rest.
