Tracer Quality Control Feature a Proven Innovation in PENETRON ADMIX

The versatility and superior performance of PENETRON ADMIX, a market-leading crystalline waterproofing admixture, is not news. Penetron has offered its 3rd generation concrete waterproofing solution ? sold in approximately 120 countries ? with an integrated green tracer for over 15 years (since 2009). Because the tracer is visible at the time of the initial pour, no post-pour verification process to confirm the presence of the PENETRON ADMIX waterproofing admixture is necessary.

EAST SETAUKET, N.Y., Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The versatility and superior performance of PENETRON ADMIX, a market-leading crystalline waterproofing admixture, is not news. Penetron has offered its 3rd generation concrete waterproofing solution ? sold in approximately 120 countries ? with an integrated green tracer for over 15 years (since 2009). Because the tracer is visible at the time of the initial pour, no post-pour verification process to confirm the presence of the PENETRON ADMIX waterproofing admixture is necessary.

"Our placement team really liked using PENETRON ADMIX-treated concrete because of the tracer. Seeing the green tint in the bleed water during placing and finishing gave us peace of mind ? we knew with PENETRON ADMIX SB in the concrete, the concrete structure was now permanently protected from water intrusion," declares Jerid Ramaker, Superintendent at Knutson Construction Services.

"Whiting-Turner, a general contractor, also appreciated the favorable costs and visual quality control feature of the green tracer found in the bleed water that confirms PENETRON ADMIX SB is mixed into the concrete," adds Richard Farmer, Eastern Region Sales Manager for Penetron USA.

The tracer in PENETRON ADMIX is easily seen by the naked eye as a light green tint in the bleed water ? no rose-colored glasses or special verification kits needed! It provides construction and design teams with an immediate and visual "time of placement" verification tool ? a clear sign that "PENETRON is in the mix."

A result of our ongoing collaboration with end users, contractors, and specifiers, this proof of application can also be verified after the concrete has hardened by pulverizing a piece of the treated concrete, mixing it with water, and holding the sample against a fluorescent light.

Just one of our Penetron System benefits, the green tracer in PENETRON ADMIX is also non-toxic (NSF 61-approved), safe for use in potable water applications, and does not discolor the concrete.
