S-1300 Pene-Krete
A revolutionary product, Super-Krete S-1300 Pene-Krete is a non-hazardous penetrating sealer for use on all concrete and masonry substrates. Pene-Krete reacts with alkali and free lime in common cement and creates an internal crystal-like shield, increasing the strength of new and existing concrete and masonry, and reducing moisture vapor transmission. It protects surfaces from freeze/thaw damage, reduces dusting of concrete, and increases coating life by as much as 300%. Surface preparation must be sufficient to allow Pene-Krete to penetrate the surface. Spray application only. Pene-Krete is the key component to coating success and is required for use in all Super-Krete systems.

S-1400 Pene Krete Additive
Super-Krete S-1400 Pene-Krete Additive (for portland cement) is a non-hazardous liquid additive formulated to create a chemical reaction within portland cement-based products. The addition of Pene-Krete Additive enhances the concretes natural hydration process by prolonging the hydration of the cementing materials and increasing workability.
The addition of Pene-Krete Additive mixed with any portland cement-based products such as, but not limited to, concrete, plaster, precast concrete, gunite and block, will densify the substrate, increase its structural strength, and encapsulate and expel excess alkali, lime and other contaminants from within the substrate. When concrete is treated, its capillary pores are reduced in both size and number and the concrete becomes dramatically less porous. After its reaction, Pene-Krete Additive fills all remaining pores and capillaries with long, needle-like crystals throughout the concrete mass. The resulting concrete is less permeable to the migration of water or waterborne chemicals.
Pene-Krete Additive can increase compressive strength up to 23% depending on the amount and quality of the portland cement contained in the mix design. The addition of Pene-Krete Additive reduces the acceleration of portland cement-based materials and reduces curing cracks substantially. Concrete is overall improved when using Pene-Krete Additive and it can also be used as a water reducing agent in concrete mixes.

S-1500 Concrete Boost
Super-Krete S-1500 Concrete BOOST! is designed for smaller batches of concrete such as countertops but can be used with any Portland Cement-based material. Concrete BOOST! is a spin-off of the highly popular Pene-Krete® Additive also manufactured by Super-Krete International, Inc. Many customers already benefit from using Pene-Krete Additive in their higher volume mixes with significantly greater results in workability, waterproofing and strength. The most visible effect is how the concrete mix becomes virtually resistant to shrinkage cracking even in hot and windy weather conditions during the pour. Concrete BOOST! is designed as a smaller dose for use with a ready-mix sack up to 90#. Adding one bottle of Concrete BOOST! to a sack of ready-mix concrete will improve the overall matrix of the concrete by increasing strength up to 23%, waterproofing the concrete, resisting shrinkage cracks and improving the workability of the mix. The treated concrete results are significant reduction in permeability, efflorescence, susceptibility to freeze/thaw damage and resistance to water, radon and chloride ion intrusion. In concrete countertops, it will help keep slabs from curling as they cure.
COVERAGE RATE:
- 1 x 59 ml bottle per each ready-mix sack of portland cement material up to 41 kgs.
AVAILABILITY:
- 59 ml bottle
- 12 pack of 59 ml bottles
- 591 ml.bottle

S-9350 Glo-Kote
Super-Krete S-9350 Glo-Kote is one of Super-Krete's most recent product developments. It is a ready-mix (just add water) concrete resurfacing product that restore, resurface existing concrete to make it look brand new. Designed to go up 3.2 mm, it can be applied by trowel, squeegee, sprayer, broom, brush and is extremely versatile.
When Super-Krete develop Glo-Kote, they incorporated photoluminescent aggregates to their existing Bond-Kote formulation to add the glow-in-the-dark effect without altering the characteristics of Bond-Kote in any way. Users can expect the same results from Glo-Kote that they get with Bond-Kote, but have the added benefit of the glow effect. Glo-Kote provides full depth glow and the glow factor is seamless throughout the product. We anticipate this product to provide tremendous cost savings where it is used versus the need for electricity. Though it may not fully illuminate an area, the glow factor attributes to safety and guidance while having a nice aqua visible glow.
The product is recharged continually by ambient light sources. The most effective light source is natural sunlight. Exposure to natural sunlight for two hours may yield up to 12 hours of glow at night.
There is a lot of talk over how much money people will spend to have a green product. The cost of Glo-Kote is certainly not cheap, but we in no way incorporated the overall value or savings the product will bring into the cost of the material. The cost is driven by the unique raw materials used to create the glow.
The best application of Glo-Kote is performed by sprayer because the greatest amount of area can be covered with this method.

APF Vaporsolve Moisture Remediation System
APF's VaporSolve® Moisture Remediation Systems are highly specialised epoxy coating systems formulated to isolate moisture sensitive flooring from all levels of concrete moisture. VaporSolve® systems are used when concrete has a known moisture problem, when concrete dries too slowly to meet the construction schedule, and as a preventative measure when concrete doesn't have a vapor retarder in place and future moisture conditions cannot be predicted. Benefits include:
- Effective with all levels of concrete moisture intrusion
- Guaranteed adhesion over silicate contaminated concrete
- May be applied to freshly poured concrete
- More than 1.86 million square meters covered with 99% success
