Concentrate

Xypex Concentrate is the most chemically active product within the Xypex Crystalline Waterproofing System.

When mixed with water, this light grey powder is applied as a cementitious slurry coat to above-grade or below-grade concrete, either as a single coat or as the first of a two-coat application. It is also mixed in Dry-Pac form for sealing strips at construction joints, or for the repairing of cracks, faulty construction joints and honeycombs. Xypex prevents the penetration of water and other liquids from any direction by causing a catalytic reaction that produces a non-soluble crystalline formation within the pores and capillary tracts of concrete and cement-based materials.

  • Reservoirs
  • Sewage and Water Treatment Plants
  • Underground Vaults
