XYPEX FOR ARCHITECTS

Concrete, by its very nature lies open to the persistent challenges of water, chemicals and a wide variety of harsh environments. Xypex Admix C-Series meets these challenges before they become problems by reducing concrete’s permeability and enhancing its durability...right from the start.

True Integral Waterproofing: Xypex Admix is a specialty product that is blended into the concrete at the time of batching. It outperforms other methods because of its unique ability to become a truly integral part of the concrete matrix. Utilizing Xypex’s world-renowned crystalline technology, Xypex Admix seals the primary paths by which water and aggressive chemicals penetrate, attack, and ultimately threaten the long-term integrity of the concrete structure.

Certified Environmentally Preferable: Xypex Admix C-1000NF and Admix C-5000 have been endorsed by GECA as environmentally preferable and therefore meet the requirements of Green Star Ratings in accordance with the Green Building Council of Australia.

Design friendly: Xypex Admix will not adversely affect the strength, slump, air entrainment or workability of the concrete as formulated in the mix design. With Xypex Admix inside, concrete is still handled, placed, finished and cured as usual. In other words, concrete containing Xypex Admix still behaves like concrete.

Australian Standards Compliance: Xypex Admix C-Series complies with Australian Standards AS1478.1 -Chemical Admixtures for Concrete as Type SN Special Purpose Admixture and AS4020 -Products for Use in Contact with Drinking Water.

Enhancing Durability: Xypex controls permeability which is a key link to greater durability, the long-term structural integrity, protective capacity and aesthetic qualities of the concrete. By preventing the penetration of aggressive chemicals, Xypex Admix C-Series helps control the problems of sulphate attack, leaching, alkaline aggregate reaction, carbonation and chloride induced corrosion.

Xypex for Concrete Remediation: Xypex products are suited for both new and existing concrete structures requiring repair or refurbishment.  Typical applications of Xypex product in a remedial scenario include crack repair, spalling repair and surface protection or reinstatement with the Xypex coating system. A comprehensive list of schematics are available for concrete remedial repair utilising Xypex concrete waterproofing & durability products. The schematics provide a solution for typical scenarios including pipe penetrations, joint details, crack repair and coatings.
