ICS Penetron International is pleased to announce that it has been granted approval to use the "U-Zeichen" sign.
The German " Ü-Zeichen" (U-sign) for construction products certifies that products fulfill the highest quality standards, meet or exceed stringent application criteria, and comply with German environmental and health regulations. After extensive testing by the Materialprüfunganstalt (MPA) at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, Penetron Admix has been approved to feature the U-sign on its packaging (http://www. penetron. com/newsletter/english/CALKOB1X. jpg (http://www. penetron. com/newsletter/english/CALKOB1X. jpg)). This approval gives German concrete manufacturers, developers, architects, and designers access to one of the world's most effective waterproofing products and guarantees a top quality product for concrete waterproofing.
Testing undertaken by the MPA confirmed that Penetron Admix has no negative corrosion effect on reinforcement steel according to test norm DIN V 18998. The maximum chloride content lies far below norm requirements of 0.1%. Penetron Admix also meets the requirements related to maximum alkali content of less than 9.3%, which eliminates the risk of alkali-silica reactions with aggregates in the concrete mix.
"The German Ü-Zeichen (U-Sign) showcases our commitment to providing and continually improving high quality waterproofing systems," said Robert Revera, CEO and Managing Partner of ICS Penetron International, "From the inception of our company, it has remained a steadfast goal of ours to meet market demands for safer and better performing crystalline waterproofing products and this core value enables Penetron to succeed in new and unique applications in an every growing industry."
