Details
Crystalline systems treat the concrete, not the surface, so they cannot be punctured, peeled or worn off. On sumps, tanks and basement rafts they are the specification answer. Brand and system are stated on the quotation, with the datasheet attached.
Variants
From the site engineer's deskCrystalline works only on sound concrete. It seals capillaries and hairline cracks, not honeycombing or cold-joint gaps.
