PENETRON coating or admixture: which approach fits the project?

By Igor Semeonidis

# PENETRON coating or admixture A surface treatment is considered when an existing concrete surface can be accessed and prepared. An integral admixture is planned before new concrete is placed. The decision depends on construction stage, access, water pressure, concrete quality and joint details. Neither option automatically repairs moving cracks or leaking penetrations.
