Piles are a commonly used foundation for the support of structures. Groups of piles will often be combined into pile caps. The lowest level slab is cast on top of the pile caps to create […]

The Xypex concrete waterproofing procedure detailed below is intended for situations when there is too little time available to waterproof structures using normal Xypex coating application and curing procedures. Typical situations include structures taken out […]

Confirm The Presence of Xypex Admix in Hardened Concrete The Challenge of Verification in Concrete Applications At Xypex, we have been at the forefront of providing high-quality waterproofing solutions for concrete applications. Traditionally, verifying the […]

Concrete cube samples (150 mm) containing Xypex Admix C-Series NF were tested for water permeability at 29 days, 91 days and 182 days. Design strength for the concrete was C30/37 using CEM II/A-M 42,5R cement […]

Concrete specimens with design strengths of 40 MPa, containing 240 kg OPC and 160 kg GGBS (Slag) were cast utilizing a 0.44 w/c ratio, including three controls and three Admix C-1000 NF samples dosed at […]

The durability of concrete in water-exposed environments is a fundamental concern in civil engineering. Understanding how permeability changes over time is critical for ensuring the longevity of infrastructure. This article summarizes an extensive six-year test […]

Extended Service Life with Xypex Maximizing Durability, Minimizing Costs: Our approach to sustainable construction goes beyond the upfront benefits of reduced embodied carbon and the use of EPDs and HPDs. Xypex products also provide long-term […]

While Xypex Admixtures and Coatings are recognized throughout the world as reliable treatments for the waterproofing and protection of both new and existing concrete structures, the ability of Xypex Crystalline Technology to improve reinforced concrete’s […]

ACI 212.3R-10 Report on Chemical Admixtures for Concrete. This report examines three classes of admixtures that all reduce, in some way, the permeability of concrete. The classes are hydrophobic or water-repellent chemicals, mineral fillers, and […]

Proof of Xypex permanence and its ability to enhance the durability of concrete structures was clearly evident in a recent review of the Xypex treated precast concrete used to construct the Cronulla Marina floats in […]
