This was part of an integrated waterproofing approach and a change to the original specification. Furthermore, Xypex was chosen to help speed up the construction process. As a consequence, a cost saving was also achieved. Its proven reliability was another benefit, giving reassurance that it would provide effective, long term protection. Xypex Admix C-Series was used in the capping beam, top layer of the basement slab as a monolithic pour and in the intermediate slab perimeter. As a result, a Grade 3 (BS 8102:2009) environment was achieved.

  • The International World of Xypex

    Concrete is the universal product that among many other things, holds water in, and keeps water out. But when water fails, it can get through and cause big problems. This is the story of Xypex around the world, the concrete fixing power of a great product — and how being there with the right stuff has made Xypex a concrete waterproofing leader.

  • Introduction to Xypex Crystalline Technology

    By means of diffusion, the reactive chemicals in Xypex products use water as a migrating medium to enter and travel down the capillaries of the concrete. This process precipitates a chemical reaction between Xypex, moisture and the by-products of cement hydration, forming a new non-soluble crystalline structure. This integral structure fills the capillary tracts rendering the concrete waterproof.

  • Xypex Crystalline Technology Animation

    How Xypex Crystalline Technology works to waterproof and protect concrete continues to hold the interest and fascination of concrete specifiers and contractors, worldwide. By way of a highly magnified view of one capillary, the animation illustrates how Xypex penetrates concrete and how the catalytic reaction that results ultimately leads to the formation of insoluble crystals and a concrete structure that is permanently waterproofed even against extreme hydrostatic pressure.
