Xypex Modified
Description
Xypex Modified can be applied as a second coat to reinforce Xypex Concentrate, or applied
by itself to damp-proof the exterior of foundation walls. Applied as a second coat, Xypex
Modified chemically reinforces Xypex Concentrate where two coats are required and produces a
harder finish. Where damp-proofing is required, a single coat of Modified may be used as an
alternative to a spray/tar emulsion. 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.
