Kalmatron — penetrating waterproofing for concrete
Penetrating dry mix for foundations, basements, tanks and dams; raises the watertightness grade of concrete by at least 4 steps.

The key property of Kalmatron-Elastik is its elasticity after curing: elongation at break is at least 50%, and the coating bridges cracks in the substrate, and even wider ones when used with reinforcing mesh. The kit of a cement-based dry component and a liquid polymer dispersion is used on foundations, in basements, tanks, pools and indoor rooms, on concrete, brick, plaster, plasterboard and plywood. Watertightness is at least W18, bond to concrete and metal at least 1.3 MPa; the material is also recommended for radon protection.
