KMA (Krystol Mortar Admixture) Product Description
Krystol Mortar Admixture (KMA) is a hydrophilic crystalline admixture used to provide long-term
protection of masonry mortars and concrete masonry units against water and waterborne contaminants
by reducing permeability and absorption of the mortar.
KMA simplifies installation by removing the need for surface applied sealers and is easily incorporated
into the existing mix-design and application processes. KMA provides superior waterproofing
performance that lowers building maintenance and repair costs.
KMA contains Krystol technology. When added to cementitious mortars or concrete masonry units,
Krystol chemically reacts with water and un-hydrated cement particles to form insoluble needle-shaped
crystals that fill capillary pores and micro-cracks in the concrete and block the pathways for water and
waterborne contaminants. Any moisture introduced over the lifespan of the concrete will initiate
crystallization, ensuring permanent waterproofing protection.
RECOMMENDED USES
Use KMA to provide permanent protection for:
- Rendering and plastering mortar (including stucco and other thin topping mixes) over concrete masonry walls or other prepared substrates
- Masonry mortar (i.e., mortar that goes between the masonry units)
- Concrete masonry units (i.e., blocks when they are manufactured)
