Xypex Megamix I is a thin parge coat for the waterproofing and resurfacing of vertical masonry or concrete surfaces, as a cap coat for Xypex Concentrate, or as an architectural rendering. Megamix I is a unique blend of Portland cement, treated silica sand, fibers and proprietary chemicals. It is mixed with Xycrylic Admix to produce enhanced bond. Megamix I is applied by brush or trowel up to a thickness of 3/8 in. (10 mm).

Xypex Megamix II is a thick repair mortar for the patching and resurfacing of deteriorated concrete. Megamix II has been specifically formulated to produce superior bond, low shrinkage, chemical durability and high strength. It is a one component mortar and can be either sprayed or trowel applied at a thickness of 3/8″ – 2″ (10 – 50 mm).

Xypex Megamix II with Bio-San is a resurfacing mortar specifically designed for the restoration of deteriorated concrete surfaces caused by microbial induced corrosion, abrasion/erosion and chemical attack. It is formulated for ease of application, superior bond, low shrinkage, high strength and resistance to microbial, acid and sulphate attack. Megamix II with Bio-San contains bioactive mineral solids which fix permanently within the repair mortar matrix impairing bio-film formation, thus limiting microbial induced corrosion of the repaired surface in sewer environments. It significantly extends the life of sewer and waste water infrastructure by inhibiting the growth of acid causing sewer bacteria such as Thiobacillus that cause MIC (microbial induced corrosion). In most applications, such as manhole resurfacing, Megamix II with Bio-San can be used to replace epoxy linings and calcium aluminate repair mortars.

The Waterfront Office Towers

City of Stockton, California, USA

The project features an enclosing structure spanning 500 feet, with its walls reaching a height of around 9 feet. Built on a Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) foundation, the structure faced significant issues of efflorescence within the basement area due it’s closeness to the San Joaquin River, necessitating an extensive remedial approach.

Yankee Lake Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility

Sanford, USA

To start repair works, the general contractor, Crom Corporation, first blasted the old concrete surfaces with a 3,000-psi pressure washer to remove the old epoxy coating, then disinfected the substrate to remove bacteria present on the surface. After these steps, cracks and joints were repaired with Xypex Patch’n Plug and Concentrate.

Projects Using This Product

Wastewater Collection & Treatment

Largo Wastewater Treatment Plant

USA

The concrete BNR trains were in need of the highest level of restoration, having been exposed to physical and chemical attack throughout 50 years of service. Xypex Megamix II with Bio-San, a one-step repair mortar that provides both crystalline waterproofing technology and a mineral-based antimicrobial that kills acid-generating bacteria.

General Construction Foundation

Citywide Printing

USA

The print shop and equipment is located in a business district not far from the Des Plaines River designated as a flood zone. The bottom 4 feet of exterior walls was treated with one-half inch of Xypex Megamix II on the outside.

Wastewater Collection & Treatment

City of Alameda Manhole Rehabilitation

USA

Twelve of the manholes were brick and mortar construction that required rehabilitation from deterioration due to the corrosive H2S environment to which they had been exposed. While the brick showed only minor deterioration the Portland cement based mortar joints were severely corroded. These 12 manholes were rehabilitated using Megamix II with Bio-San as an over coating layer to repoint the joints as well as coat the entire surface.

Marine Structures

Singapore Marina Barrage

Singapore

More than 7,000 kg of Xypex Megamix II were used to shape and protect the new fins of the Barrage gates.  Xypex Megamix II was the only product available in the market that could applied to the very fine (1 mm) tolerances specified for the barrage, whilst its superior ability to withstand the harsh chemical and mechanical marine environment conditions contribute incrementally to the durability of the fins of the barrage.

Water Holding Structures

Milner-Gooding Canal

USA

The first step in the restoration required extensive high pressure water blasting to remove the decades of lime deposits. Once these were removed and the surfaces were clean, Xypex Megamix II was used to patch badly deteriorated areas before a spray coat application of Xypex Concentrate.

Dam & Irrigation

Murray Irrigation

Australia

Xypex Megamix II was chosen as the preferred product to meet the engineer’s requirements for a repair render for deteriorated concrete surfaces applied at a rate of 20 kg/m2. As opposed to competitors’ high strength repair mortars, Xypex Megamix II contains Xypex’s unique crystalline technology, has high strength yet low shrinkage, and adheres excellently to damp concrete.
