Application of Penetron integral crystalline waterproofing chemical on concrete retaining walls

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWxnnyM0To8

In this video, we look at how we applied Penetron on leaking retaining walls of a hotel, located in Nairobi county, Kenya. • For this particular project, the consultants agreed on our proposal to use Penetron slurry crystalline waterproofing chemical. • PENETRON is used for waterproofing and chemical protection at both above and below ground level structures. PENETRON is applied by brush or spray to either the positive or the negative side of the concrete and in the presence of moisture penetrates deeply into the structure. The ensuing chemical reaction fills microcracks, pores and capillaries with an insoluble crystalline formation, which prevents water and water-borne chemicals from entering, even under high hydrostatic pressure. Cracks that develop during the lifetime of the concrete are self-healed by PENETRON, resulting in permanent concrete protection. • Unlike a coating or membrane solution, PENETRON becomes an integral part of the concrete. PENETRON enhances durability by reducing permeability of the concrete, preventing water and other corrosives agents from penetrating. • Penetron Advantages: • -Penetrates deeply: up to 1 meter; seals capillary tracts and cracks in concrete up to 500 microns in width • -Integral: becomes an integral part of the concrete and reduces permeability; waterproofing, chemical resistance and other enhanced concrete properties remain intact even after surface damage • -Permanent: once the concrete is treated, the PENETRON crystals remain active and part of the concrete for life • -Enhances durability: greatly reduces permeability, allowing concrete to resist chemical attack and provides a wide range of protection from freeze-thaw cycles, corrosion, aggressive groundwater, sea water, carbonates, chlorides, sulfates and nitrates. • -Enhanced strength: does not come apart at the seams, tear or puncture; increases compressive strength of concrete • -Economical: more effective and less costly than membranes, clay panels, pore blockers, and coatings • -Cost-effective: does not require protection during backfilling, placement of steel or wire mesh or other common procedures; can be applied to moist or green concrete • -Versatile: can be applied to either new or existing concrete as a coating (from the positive or negative side) or as a dry-shake to horizontal surfaces • -Safe: nontoxic, NSF61, EU and EPA-approved for potable water use • -Experience support: sold through a trained and authorized network of distributors around the globe. Penetron representatives provide our clients with complimentary technical and on-site support to ensure Penetron projects run smoothly. • ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • At Mau West Company, our mission is to make structures habitable ,functional and sustainable.
