KALMATRON is a capillary effect cementing material, ensuring hydro-insulation of concrete, cement and sand slurry, bricks and other capillary and porous materials.The hydro-insulation effect is reached inside the protected material’s structure, between its elements and the ingredients of KALMATRON admixture by sustained chemical reactions, occurring in a strict order. The reactions result in emergence of soluble and non-soluble compounds, which fill the capillaries, pores and small cracks and push the water out. The compounds’ dense chemical composition ensures the characteristics of admixture’s perfect hydro-insulation. KALMATRON’s formula gives a “self-healing” effect by blocking the pores and cracks in KALMATRON protective admixture layer by crystalline hydrates.

KALMATRON solution has proved to be effective material for:

Provision of hydro isolation of the surfaces of walls and floors of houses, basements, roofing, sewerage systems, water supply systems, etc for new houses (in the process of building) as well as for restoration of water impermeability of older constructions. Protective layer can be applied outside as well as inside of construction (to the negative or positive waterproofing sides).

Creation of protective layer on surfaces of buildings and structures influenced by the pressure of hydro environment and aggressive mediums.

The KALMATRON coating provides concrete impermeability to engine oil and diesel oil, and is recommended for protection even from such absorption inactive media as kerosene. The speed of acid corrosion of concrete with protective layer slows down at list by 1,5 times.

The KALMATRON coating greatly reduces carbonization and penetration of chloride salts into the concrete. Moreover, KALMATRON protects from rebar corrosion and improves the passivity effect of concrete with steel reinforcement.

The ability of KALMATRON

to protect concrete from gaseous corrosion is actively used for sewage collectors.

Research has demonstrated that KALMATRON also has biocide properties, which is important for construction and repair of agricultural and food industry facilities.
