Quickset
Xypex Quickset is a water-soluble liquid blend of silicates, neutralizers and penetrating agents specially compounded to harden, dustproof and seal the surfaces of fresh or newly cured concrete floors. Xypex Quickset penetrates into the capillaries of the concrete substrate and chemically reacts with the free lime and calcium carbonate to form a hard, insoluble gel within the pores, thus closing off the small voids. Quickset provides superior hardening and a dustproof finish.
Advantages of Xypex
- Provides superior hardening and a dustproof finish.
Recommended for
- Concrete slabs where a hard, abrasion resistant (light to moderate traffic load), dustproof surface is required.
- Enhancing the abrasion resistance of a concrete surface where Concentrate DS-1 or DS-2 has been applied.

Quickset Application Details
General Resources
Martin Mortuary of Grand Junction
The basement of the Martin Mortuary in Grand Junction was in need of immediate rehabilitation due to water infiltration. Xypex products were selected to treat the leaking cracks and construction joints. The products included were: Xypex Concentrate, Patch’n Plug, Gamma Cure, Quickset, Megamix I & II and Xycrylic Admix. During the application, new leaks were discover and also treated with Xypex. The project has been visited a year after completion and the basement remains dry.
Deichtorhallen
Situated on the outskirts of the Hamburg dockside, the Deichtorhallen is one of the city’s most famous landmarks. The basement is a storage area for paintings, photographs and other highly sensitive art objects. Because of the proximity of the buildings to the seaside, humidity and water penetration became a problem in this over 100-year-old structure. Water was penetrating through the foundation slab and through cracks in the wall to such a degree that cracks formed in the interior zone. Xypex Concentrate, Modified, Patch'n Plug and Quickset were used successfully to address the problem. Upon further review, the basement is once again a dry storage area for art collections.
