Concrete Waterproofing by Crystallization™ For more than 40 years, the ground-breaking Crystalline Technology of Xypex Chemical Corporation has been serving concrete users around the world.
The base foundation slab and the joints at the wall / slab interface were waterproofed with Xypex Concentrate. Xypex was also applied to the walls.
Concrete is the universal product that among many other things, holds water in, and keeps water out. But when water fails, it can get through and cause big problems. This is the story of Xypex around the world, the concrete fixing power of a great product — and how being there with the right stuff has made Xypex a concrete waterproofing leader. Play Video

Basic to the development of Xypex Crystalline Technology was a thorough understanding of concrete's chemical and physical makeup. Concrete is porous. Its tunnel-like capillaries are a natural part of its mass, and permit the passage of water and other liquids. Researchers at Xypex recognized the opportunity for a chemical treatment that would fill these capillaries to prevent the penetration of water and other liquids from any direction. This integral structure fills the capillary tracts rendering the concrete waterproof. Play Video

How Xypex Crystalline Technology works to waterproof and protect concrete continues to hold the interest and fascination of concrete specifiers and contractors, worldwide. 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.
