Crystalline waterproofing penetrates several
inches in concrete. As hairline cracks form over the life of
concrete. This method uses a catalytic reaction to seal the
pores, capillaries and shrinkage cracks that occur naturally
in concrete, Crystalline waterproofing continues to activate in
the presence of moisture and seal additional gaps. Products are
tested at CSIR-Central LeatherResearch Institute
Monarch's technologically advanced waterproofing systems cover every need of Building & Construction industry to protect from water ingress or loss of water through structures. The complete building structures frombasement to roof are protected from rising dampness, moisture, seepages and leakages from basement to roof. The technology ranges to acrylic SBR latex, crystalline, epoxy, water repellant polysiloxanes, polyurethane and bituminous based formulations. The coating fills and seals concrete pores, micro cracks and capillary tracts in joints,walls and floors through whichwater seep through and forms an integral waterproofing compound without breaking the existing brickbat cobaandconcrete screed.
Krystal SW is composed of high-quality cement, properly selected & graded inert aggregates, proprietary waterproofing active chemicals & additives. It is used as a chemically active waterproofing treatment for
concrete. when mixed with water and applied as a brush coat to concrete, it penetrates deeply into the capillaries of the concrete to form billions of needles like crystals fill the por and minor shrinkage cracks in the concrete to prevent any further water ingress (even under pressure). However, it 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, it 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, It protects concrete against seawater, wastewater, aggressive groundwater and many other aggressive chemical solutions .Krystal SW is approved for use in contact with potable water and is therefore suitable for use in water storage.
KRYSTAL LW is a chemically modified silicate solution that provides long-term waterproofing and durability benefits to concrete. It penetrates into concrete and reacts with free calcium and water to form a calcium silicate gel (crystal) complex in cracks, pores and capillaries. This gel creates a sub-surface barrier against the ingress of water and contaminants such as chloride ions. will seal existing cracks up to 2mm in width. . In the matrix the product remains reactive when in contact with water to provide autogenously healing properties to future hairline cracks which increase in size, hairline after hairline to become quite large crack.
Krystal PA is a crystalline waterproofing powder admixture is added to the concrete mix at the
time of batching. Krystal PA consists of Portland cement and various active, proprietary chemicals. These active chemicals react with the moisture in fresh concrete and with the by-products of cement hydration to cause a catalytic reaction, which generates a non-soluble crystalline formation throughout the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete. Thus, the concrete becomes permanently sealed against the penetration of water or liquids from any direction. The concrete is also protected from deterioration due to harsh environmental conditions. Krystal PA has been specially formulated to meet varying project and temperature conditions
Krystal LA is a waterproofing concrete admixture that forms crystal fiber on the capillary gaps of concrete to provide permanently water impermeability.
Krystal RM is a thick repair mortar for the patching and resurfacing of deteriorated concrete. Krystal RM has been specifically formulated to produce superior bond, low shrinkage, chemical durability and high strength. It is a one component mortar and can be either sprayed or trowel applied at a thickness of 10 – 50 mm per layer. The high performance characteristics of Krystal RM are enhanced by Monarch ‘s unique crystalline waterproofing and protection technology.
KRYSTAL IG is an advanced two-component water cut-off injection grout with integral crystalline waterproofing ability. It waterproofs concrete and rock by filling and sealing cracks and fissures and can be used to fill hollow spots and voids to bring stability and strength to repaired areas. The extremely fine particle size of its ingredients allows KRYSTAL IG to penetrate into micro-fine, hairline cracks in concrete or rock fissures and seal them. In addition to the water cut-off grout, the integral crystalline waterproofing technology forms an insoluble structure to further aid in sealing these cracks and fissures. In the case
of concrete, the crystalline network not only seals the cracks, but also the pores and micro-fine voids in the surrounding concrete, making the concrete itself waterproof. KRYSTAL IG has a very low, water-like viscosity, which allows it to enter and follow extremely fine cracks and displace any water present under injection pressure. Through its water cut-off action and its unique
chemistry, it provides corrosion protection for embedded steel and anchors. In concrete, it also aids in re-passivating areas around injection sites reducing corrosion and restoring a protective layer around reinforcing and other steel embeds.
KRYSTAL Rapid is a rapid setting hydraulic cement compound with Crystalline Properties used to instantly stop running water or seepage in mansonry or concrete .Krystal Rapid is ready to use and requires only the addition of water before plugging and sealing active leaks within 2 minutes.
