One & Only Resort Pool

Cape Town

Xypex products were specified to waterproof and protect various areas of this One & Only Resort project, including two undersea tunnels, lift shafts, health spa pools, day water tank, penthouse swimming pool and the main one-million litre swimming pool. Four Xypex products were used: Admix C-1000, Concentrate, Modified and Patch’n Plug.

Xypex Products

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.

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.

Admix C-500 NF & C-1000 NF

Xypex Admix is blended into the concrete mix at the time of batching to waterproof and protect concrete from the start. It outperforms other methods because of its unique ability to become a truly integral part of the concrete matrix. The Admix C-Series has been specially formulated to meet varying project and temperature conditions.

Megamix I & II

Xypex Megamix I is a thin parge coat for the waterproofing and resurfacing of vertical or masonry or concrete surfaces, as a cap coat for Xypex Concentrate, or as an architectural rendering. Megamix I is a unique blend of Portland cement, treated silica sand, fibers and proprietary chemicals. It is mixed with Xycrylic Admix to produce enhanced bond. Megamix I is applied by brush or trowel up to a thickness of 10 mm.

Xypex Megamix II is a high build repair mortar for the patching and resurfacing of deteriorated concrete. Megamix II has been specifically formulated to produce superior bond, low shrinkage, chemical durability and high strength. It is a one component mortar and can be either sprayed or trowel applied at a thickness of 10 mm to 50 mm. The high performance characteristics of Megamix I & II are enhanced by Xypex's unique crystalline waterproofing and protection technology.

Megamix II with Bio-San

Xypex Megamix II + Bio-San is a resurfacing mortar specifically designed for the restoration of deteriorated concrete surfaces caused by microbial induced corrosion, abrasion/erosion and chemical attack. It is formulated for ease of application, superior bond, low shrinkage, high strength and resistance to microbial, acid and sulphate attack. Megamix II + Bio-San contains bioactive mineral solids which fix permanently within the repair mortar matrix impairing bio-film formation, thus limiting microbial induced corrosion of the repaired surface in sewer environments. It significantly extends the life of sewer and waste water infrastructure by inhibiting the growth of acid causing sewer bacteria such as Thiobacillus that cause MIC (microbial induced corrosion). In most applications, such as manhole resurfacing, Megamix II + Bio-San can be used to replace epoxy linings and calcium aluminate repair mortars.

Xycrylic Admix

Xycrylic Admix is a water-based, high solids, polymer dispersion specifically designed for fortifying portland cement compositions. This liquid is milky-white in color and improves curing qualities, enhances bond, imparts excellent water and weather resistance, and reduces shrinkage cracking. Xycrylic Admix is also used to fortify Xypex Patch'n Plug.
