Using penetron technology to Increase lifespan of concrete structures by 60%

PENETRON ADMIX method is to protect concrete in most critical environments. PENETRON ADMIX becomes an integral part of the concrete. Easily mixed during batching and unaffected by climatic conditions & increase the lifespan of concrete structures by 60%.

PENETRON ADMIX performance highlights

1. Resists high hydrostatic pressure
2. Provides ‘self-healing’ capabilities for cracks up to 0.4 mm
3. Enhances the compressive strength of concrete
4. Non-toxic and contains no VOCs
5. Resists chemical attacks
6. reduces chloride penetration and carbonation
7. Effectively counters alkali-silica reaction
8. Prevents corrosion of reinforcement steel
9. Not a vapor barrier; allows concrete to breathe
10. Protects against sulfate attack.

Procedure

1. Add Ready-Mix Concrete PENETRON ADMIX at the batching plant.
2. Add PENETRON ADMIX to drum of the ready-mix truck.Add 60-70% of the required water along with 136-227 kg of aggregate.
3. Mix the materials for 2-3 minutes to ensure even distribution of PENETRON ADMIX.
4. Add the balance of materials to the ready-mix truck using standard batching practices.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

The PENETRON ADMIX benefits

• Increases durability and life-span of concrete by 60 years or more
• Eliminates the need for any surface-applied protection systems
• Saves money—lifetime concrete protection
• Maximizes time on the construction site
• Doesn’t require specific W/C or cement content to perform
• Easy to mix into the concrete at batching.
• Non-staining tracer ensures quality and performance
• Soluble bag packaging eliminates measuring and simplifies mixing

How it works

• Add PENETRON ADMIX to the concrete at the time of batching. This disperses the PENETRON chemicals homogenously throughout the mix.
• PENETRON active ingredients react with water to form insoluble crystals, which fill cracks, pores, and voids up to a width of 400 microns. PENETRON ADMIX is an integral part of the concrete matrix; crystalline growth takes place throughout the concrete structure.
• Water molecules (and harmful chemicals) can no longer pass through the concrete.
• This avoids the buildup of vapor pressure.
• In absence of moisture, the PENETRON components lay dormant. At any time, the sealing process resumes automatically, providing a fully self-healing concrete.
