Concrete Masonry Units, often referred to as CMU or Concrete Blocks, are a common building material used in many applications.Unfortunately, these materials have variable porosity which makes waterproofing them very difficult, sometimes requiring multiple call-backs to fully waterproof a structure.

Xypex Patch’n Plug – Product & Use
Xypex Patch’n Plug is a fast-setting hydraulic cement-based mortar that is commonly used to rapidly and easily repair actively leaking concrete defects, even against high water pressures and flows. Patch’n Plug’s sealing capabilities are enhanced with Xypex’s unique crystalline chemistry preventing costly and inconvenient “call-backs”.
Addition of Xypex Admixture and Bio-San Crystalline to Ready Mixed Concrete
Xypex waterproofing Admixture can be added to concrete in many different ways. This video will show several of the commonly used ways of introducing Xypex waterproofing admixture, in soluble bags, or as a bulk powder, to a load of ready-mixed concrete.
Visual Detection System
An unique technology to visually confirm the presence of Xypex Admix in hardened concrete.
Xypex Patch’n Plug and Concentrate Mortar Blends
This video will show how to make an easy-to-place and use high crystalline reactivity repair mortar using blends of Xypex Concentrate and Xypex Patch’n Plug powders. These blends can replace the Xypex Concentrate in Dry Pac form, that is recommended in several of the common Xypex repair procedures.
Xypex Crystalline Technology Animation
By way of a highly magnified view of one capillary, the animation illustrates how Xypex penetrates concrete and how the catalytic reaction that results ultimately leads to the formation of insoluble crystals and a concrete structure that is permanently waterproofed even against extreme hydrostatic pressure.
Site Addition Instructions for Xypex Admixture and Bio-San Crystalline
Xypex waterproofing Admixture can be added to concrete in many different ways. It is normally recommended that addition be done by the Concrete Producer at their facilities.
Bio-San Animation
Xypex Bio-San is a uniquely designed admixture for integral, long-term protection of concrete in harsh sewage conditions with high levels of H2S that cause Microbial Induced Corrosion (MIC). Watch the animation to learn how Bio-San’s robust dual technology system eliminates the problem.
Inside the Blueprint, CNBC Series
In this video, members of the Xypex leadership team explain how Xypex helps the concrete industry meet these challenges by significantly extending the life of concrete structures using a proprietary crystalline waterproofing technology that is environmentally friendly and can extend the service life of structures from 50 to 150 years.
Xypex Crack Repair
This video will show the commonly employed techniques for using Xypex materials to permanently repair leaking cracks in concrete.
