The Right Products

Xypex Admix for New Concrete Construction

Xypex Admix is the preferred choice for installing Xypex Crystalline Technology into new concrete structures for the collection and treatment of wastewater. Because Xypex Admix is blended into the mix at the time of batching, it becomes an integral part of the entire concrete matrix reducing the potentially damaging effects of water infiltration and microbial induced corrosion. Flexibility in application means Xypex Admix can be installed in precast products such as pipes, manholes, and lift stations or cast-in-place structures in wastewater treatment plants.

Bio-San C500

An antimicrobial crystalline admixture for the maximum protection in severe sewage conditions. Xypex Bio-San C500 is a unique combination of potent antimicrobial properties with Xypex Crystalline Technology for use in areas where H₂S gas is likely to accumulate.

Rehabilitation & Repair

Xypex’s coating systems and repair products enable municipalities, engineers and contractors to economically and confidently rehabilitate inefficient or deteriorating wastewater collection and treatment structures. Xypex Concentrate and Modified are applied as slurry coatings to the surface of the concrete. Unlike other materials that need a dry substrate, Xypex products require a moist surface – conditions typical of existing wastewater structures. Xypex Patch’n Plug, Concentrate Dry-Pac and Megamix products are specifically designed to permanently repair concrete defects such as honeycombs, static cracks and faulty cold or construction joints; they also fill tie-holes and seal around pipe penetrations. Megamix II with Bio-San contains bioactive mineral solids that provide antimicrobial protection for extreme sewage environments.
