Keeping with its philosophy of excellence in quality, Kryton International established a full-fledged R&D lab at their factory in India. The laboratory, apart from undertaking the quality control checks, endeavours to co-ordinate its efforts with the parent R&D laboratory in Canada, in the development and testing of new products.

Kryton's constant dedication to research and development has helped us maintain an avant-garde position in the construction industry. We believe in carrying out research not just as part of a process but also to come up with solutions for real existing problems. For example, we have developed a concrete waterproofing admixture that adds to a concrete producer's bottom line while allowing property developers to maximize value by building right to the property line. We have also created a quick and easy to apply waterstop system to protect concrete joints, thus saving contractors valuable time and money |

Even though most other businesses within the industry are downsizing their laboratory facilities, we continue to support a flourishing research and development program. After all, it isn't by chance that we have become the leading supplier of crystalline concrete waterproofing systems. At our full-service laboratories in Haryana, we have engaged scientists, engineers and specialists from universities and research institutes across the world. A large part of our resources, in fact, as much as 10% of our worldwide revenues are dedicated to R&D. |

Why? So that we can reap the benefits of an unparalleled research program. An effective research and development program allows us to: |

Tap opportunities |
|
As a company, we believe in seeking out challenges. We always watch out for unsolved problems in the construction industry and everyday we try to improve the usability of existing products and systems |

|
Generate exclusive solutions |
|
It is true that we take up problems that might be individual and unique in nature! In the past, Kryton has worked with Vancouver Rapid Transit to develop a special non-conductive coating for the basis of its electric transformers. And when a pre-cast concrete supplier wanted to prove to customers that KIM had been incorporated into his concrete slabs, our R&D unit developed methods and tests to prove that KIM was present. At another time, we tailored our KIM admixture to suit Indonesia's unique construction methods because a contractor from there requested us to. |

| Stay one step ahead of competition |
|
One method of beating the competition is by being aware of it. At all times, we are aware of the products that our competitor has on offer and any drawback that it might have. So, when we present a comparative chart to prove that our product is better, it's not because we like to brag, rather it is to inform our customers that we have devoted years of research, investigation and testing to create a product that is more efficient than our competitor's.

Certified by BNQ (ISO 9000 standard) and the Master Painters Association (MPA) in Canada, the British Board of Agrément (CE Mark) in Europe, the International Code Council - Evaluation Services (ICC-ES), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the NSF International in the USA, we maintain the highest quality standards. We organize rigorous pre-purchase testing for all our raw materials and also pre-shipping testing for each batch of our products in our labs so as to ensure that our customer's quality standards are met. |

|
Maintain safety standards |
|
Kryton has focused on safety for a very long time now, even though the world has just woken up to it. Through careful research, we've developed lead-free, solvent-free, non-toxic products that don't contain harmful additives, thus proving better for our world immersed in environmental problems. |
