Xypex Concentrate

USES

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

FEATURES

• Resists extreme hydrostatic pressure
• Becomes an integral part of the substrate
• Can seal static hairline cracks up to 0.4 mm
• Can be applied to the positive or the negative side of the concrete surface
• Allows concrete to breathe
• Highly resistant to aggressive chemicals
• Non-toxic / no VOCs
• Does not require 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
• 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
• Available in white for enhanced illumination

Technical

Water Permeability: >124 m head (US Army Corps of Engineers CRD C48-92)
Water Impermeability of Concrete: 4 mm (DIN 1048)
Depth of Water Penetration: < 1 mm (EN 12390-8)
Tensile Bond Strength: 1.23 MPa (EN 1542)
Chemical Resistance to Mortars: One-eighth of the erosion of reference samples (ASTM C 267)
ASTM C856 “Standard Practice for Petrographic Examination of Hardened Concrete”: In each case, there was evidence of the Xypex crystalline structure in the cracks to a depth of about 20 mm. Photographs taken this depth at 100x magnification showed the Xypex crystalline structure had reduced the width of the cracks dramatically.
RILEM CPC-18 “Carbonation Resistance of Samples Treated with a Xypex Concentrate Coating”: 35-40% less than reference samples.
ASTM C876 “Influence of Xypex Coating System on Residual Service Life of Concrete Structures” Durability Assessment Section, Xypex Australia: Results indicated a reduction of corrosion rate and corrosion potential up to 50% and 40% respectively, and significant enhancement of the concrete resistivity.
ASTM C 672, “Standard Test Method for Scaling Resistance of Concrete Surfaces Exposed to De-Icing Chemicals”: Visual examination of untreated panels after 50 freeze/thaw cycles showed a marked increase in surface deterioration.
NSF 61, “Drinking Water System Component-Health Effects”: Exposure testing of potable water in contact with Xypextreated samples indicated no harmful effects
U.S.A. Standard No. N69, “Protective Coatings for the Nuclear Industry”: After exposure to 5.76 x 104 rads of gamma radiation, the Xypex treatment revealed no ill effects or damages.
