HYDROGEN SULFATE RESISTANCE

Kalmatron® KF-A creates a homogenous mass of concrete that has 97% micro pores and 3% macro pores (regular concrete has 70% macro pores and 30% micro pores). The artificially small pore diameter is not much larger than the diameter of a water molecule and produces a kind of molecular sieve or filter that prevents ingress of large molecules such as acids and oils. Reducing pore diameter increases the pressure of the liquids and gasses inside the pores. This produces a positive pressure against the further penetration of gasses, water and any electrolytes they may carry. Liquids, such as water, alkalis, acids and oils products, are unable to penetrate as their own tension prevents it. Now instead of the sizable, added expense of coatings on top of the concrete, you can simply add KF-A to the original concrete and the problem of H2S is solved. More technical information on the multitude of benefits achieved with KF-A can be reviewed by viewing How Kalmatron® Works.
