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 concrete’s 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, pre-cast concrete, gunite and block will densify the substrate, increase its structural strength, and encapsulate and expel excess alkali, lime and other contaminants from with substrate to allow for concrete coating on the eighth day after application.
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.

Limitations
Super-Krete Products are to be applied only when surface temperatures are above 55°F and rising and not to exceed 100°F. SuperKrete Products are not to be applied when precipitation is expected within 24 hours following completion of application. Do not allow materials to freeze. Each Super-Krete product acts as an inherent part of a proven system. Super-Krete Products are professional, contractor grade products.
