• Capillary Pores (.01 m to 1 m) are essentially the
residue of the originally water filled spaces and these
effect the permeability of the concrete matrix.

Xypex is the Solution!
 Unique chemical treatment for the waterproofing,
protection and repair of concrete
 Seals concrete defects from the penetration of water
and other liquids from any direction even when
subjected to hydrostatic pressure
 Protects concrete from a variety of harsh
environments
 Provides resistance to attack from aggressive
chemicals
 Enhances the durability of concrete
Xypex Crystallization Process
• Illustration from a
sheared face of
concrete prior to
the Xypex reaction
• Visible are cubic
and rhombic
particles, the byproducts of cement
hydration
• Xypex reacts with moisture and the natural
chemical by-products of cement hydration
(calcium hydroxide, mineral salts, mineral
oxides and unhydrated and partially
hydrated cement particles)
• The Xypex chemicals utilizes water as the
medium to migrate throughout the concrete
• A non-soluble
crystalline
formation
develops deep
within the pores
and capillary
tracts
• Xypex becomes
an integral part
of the concrete
mass
• The pores and
capillaries
become
discontinuous,
micro-cracks
are sealed
• The concrete
becomes
impermeable
to water and
liquids from
any direction
• Xypex Concentrate and Modified coatings
are applied on existing structures and new
concrete construction

• Xypex Patch’n Plug and Concentrate DryPac are used to repair defects in the concrete
(cracks, honeycombing, tie-holes, etc.)

Xypex Testing
• Xypex products, including the Xypex Admix
have been tested successfully in formal
independent scientific laboratories throughout
the world
• Xypex Products have been evaluated and
tested to accepted standards for such
performance characteristics as:
– permeability
– chemical resistance
– freeze-thaw durability
– crack sealing
– compressive strength
– potable water
