OVERVIEW
Xypex Concentrate is the most chemically active of the Xypex waterproofing products. When mixed
with water, this light grey powder is applied as a 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.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Xypex is a unique chemical treatment for the waterproofing and protection of concrete. XYPEX
CONCENTRATE is the most chemically active of the Xypex waterproofing products and is formulated
for application to hardened concrete surfaces. 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. Xypex prevents the penetration of water and other liquids from any direction by
causing a catalytic reaction that produces a non-soluble crystalline formation within the pores
and capillary tracts of concrete and cement-based materials.
