Crystalline waterproofing

Xypex is a non-toxic, chemical treatment for the waterproofing, durability enhancement, repair and protection of concrete from a range of aggressive mediums. Click here to view an animation of Xypex Crystalline process (7mb)

Xypex is renowned for its unique ability to generate a non-soluble crystalline formation deep within the pores and capillary tracts of concrete - a crystalline structure that permanently seals the concrete against the penetration of water and other liquids from any direction.

Xypex products have been tested extensively worldwide and comply with numerous Indian, American, British and Australian Standards certifications.

THE APPLICATION ADVANTAGES

The crystalline nature of the Xypex waterproofing system provides many application advantages over traditional barrier products.

• Xypex does not require a dry surface; in fact, a wet surface is necessary.

• Xypex does not require dry weather to be applied.

• Xypex does not require costly surface priming or leveling prior to application.

• It cannot puncture, tear, or come apart at the seams.

• It does not require protection during backfilling or during placement of steel, wire mesh
or other materials.

• It can be applied on either side of a concrete surface — the negative or the positive
(water pressure) side.

• Xypex does not require sealing, lapping and finishing of seams at corners, edges or
between membranes.

• It is less costly to apply than most other methods.

XYPEX IS DIFFERENT

The Xypex crystalline system for concrete waterproofing is substantially different from traditional barrier products — like membranes and cementitious coatings. Check these differences:

• Xypex creates a crystalline structure deep within the pores and capillary tracts of the
concrete mass to prevent the penetration of water and aggressive chemicals. In contrast,
barrier-type products function only at the surface of the concrete.

• Because Xypex is not dependent on surface adhesion to achieve its waterproofing effect,
it is resistant to extreme hydrostatic pressure.

• It will seal hairline cracks up to 0.4 mm.

• It is not subject to the deterioration problems encountered by membranes.

• Xypex is permanent and reactivates whenever water is present.
