DataSheet

Xypex is a unique chemical treatment for the waterproofing, protection and improvement of concrete. Xypex Admix C-500 is added to the concrete mix at the time of batching. Xypex Admix C-500 consists of Portland cement, very fine treated silica sand and various active, proprietary chemicals. Theses active chemicals react with the moisture in fresh concrete and with the by-products of cement hydration to cause a catalytic reaction which generates a non-soluble crystalline formation throughout the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete. Thus the concrete becomes permanently sealed against the penetration of water or liquids from any direction. The concrete is also protected from deterioration due to harsh environmental conditions.

Xypex Admix C-500 is conveniently packaged in various sizes of pre-weighed soluble bags to satisfy the various concrete mix design requirements. These are easily loaded at the beginning of the batch cycle ensuring both accuracy and eliminating any dust generation.
