Xypex Chemical Corporation manufactures a range of concrete waterproofing and protection products used in the construction or restoration of building foundations, water and sewage treatment infrastructure, tunnels, manholes, and marine structures. Its unique crystallizing technology has been tested and proven worldwide in all climates and in widely varying construction situations. Sold through an international network of distributors and licensees in over 90 countries, Xypex is specified and used on countless projects around the world.
Available as an admixture or coating, Xypex Crystalline Waterproofing reacts with the by-products of cement hydration and other mineral constituents of the concrete, precipitating a chemical reaction that produces a non-soluble crystalline formation that fills and permanently blocks the pores, capillaries and hairline cracks that naturally occur in the structure. In this way, Xypex becomes a permanent, integral part of the structure.
