Coating > Xypex Modified

Modified

Xypex Modified can be applied as a second coat to reinforce Xypex Concentrate, or applied by itself to dampproof the exterior of foundation walls.

Applied as a second coat, Xypex Modified chemically reinforces Xypex Concentrate where two coats are required and produces a harder finish. Where dampproofing is required, a single coat of Modified may be used as an alternative to a spray/tar emulsion. 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.

Recommended for:

  • Reservoirs
  • Sewage and Water Treatment Plants
  • Secondary Containment Structures
  • Tunnels and Subway Systems
  • Underground Vaults
  • Foundations
  • Parking Structures
  • Swimming Pools

Advantages

  • Resists extreme hydrostatic pressure
  • Becomes an integral part of the substrate
  • Allows concrete to breathe
  • Resistant to aggressive chemicals
  • Non-toxic
  • Does not require dry weather or a dry surface
  • Cannot puncture, tear or come apart at the seams
  • No costly surface priming or leveling prior to application
  • Does not require sealing, lapping and finishing of seams at corners, edges or between membranes
  • Can be applied to the positive or the negative side of the concrete surface
  • Does not require protection during backfilling or during placement of steel, wire mesh or other materials
  • Less costly to apply than most other methods
  • Not subject to deterioration
  • Permanent

Packaging

Xypex Modified is available in 60 lb. (27.2 kg) pails and 50 lb. (22.7 kg) bags.

Coverage

For normal surface conditions, the coverage rate for each coat is 6 - 7.2 sq. ft. per lb. (1.25 - 1.5 lb. per sq. yd. or 0.65 - 0.8 kg/m2).
