Waterproofing Products for Section 07 1616 (07162) - Crystalline Waterproofing

Xypex Concrete Waterproofing by Crystallization

Xypex Chemical Corporation manufactures a range of concrete waterproofing and protection products used in the construction or restoration of foundations, water and sewage treatment plants, 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 70 countries, Xypex is specified and used on countless projects around the world.



Xypex’s reactive ingredients cause a chemical reaction 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 plugs the pores, capillaries and hairline cracks that naturally occur in the structure. In this way, Xypex becomes a permanent, integral part of the structure.



Unlike surface coatings or membranes, Xypex cannot puncture, tear or come apart at the seams; it does not require protection during backfilling or during placement of steel, wire mesh etc. and is not affected by exposure to the elements.

The Xypex product line allows for application flexibility and value engineering. It is available as a coating, dry-shake for new slab construction, or as an admixture. Xypex Admix is blended into the concrete at the time of batching, waterproofing and improving concrete performance…from the start.
