Xypex Concentrate DS

Concrete waterproofing on the basis of concentrate_ds-pcrystallisation – applied dry-shaken on horisontal surfaces before treatment of “green” concrete with a cement-like slurry

Desciption

Xypex Concentrate is the unique chemical treatment compound for waterproofing and protection of concrete. Xypex Concentrate DS1 and DS2 are specially designed mixtures dry-shaken onto fresh concrete surface prior finishing.

Xypex Concentrate DS dry powder consists of portland cement, fine treated silica sand and a set of patented compounds. Active chemicals react with moisture in fresh concrete and with by-products of cement hydration to cause the catalitic reaction which generates non-soluble crystalline formation throughout the pores and capillary tracks stopping penetration of water and other liquids into concrete in every direction.

Advantages of Xypex Concentrate DS

  • allows waterproofing of structures against negative hydrostatic pressure
  • protects concrete and reinforcement steel
  • allows concrete to breathe
  • becomes integral part of the substrate


Advantages of dry-shake applications compared to other coats
Xypex Concentrate DS1 and DS2 become integral part of the substrate and they exclude problems of conventional coats (i.e., dust, shrinkage, etc.), less costly for horisontal surfaces therefore construction scheduling is more flexible

Applications

  • car parks
  • foundation slabs
  • bridge coatings
  • water containers
  • sewage and water treatment plants
  • traffic bearing susrfaces

Properties

  • waterproof – resists up to 135 m water column (max capacity of testing device)
  • resistant to chemicals – chemicals like hydrochloric acid solution, hydrate of sodium, toluene, mineral oil, chloride in the swimming-pool water, hydraulic fluid and other chemicals do not damage the concrete
  • resistant to freezing/melting cycling – protects reinforcement from corrosion
  • resistant to irradiation – tolerant to minimum of 5.76×104 rad gamma-rays

Xypex Admix

Product description

admix1000-p

Xypex is a unique chemical additive for enchancing waterproofing and durability of concrete. Xypex Admix C-1000 is added to concrete mix when batching. Xypex Admix C-1000 consists of portland cement, fine treated silica sand and a set of patented compounds. Active chemicals react with moisture in fresh concrete and with by-products of cement hydration to cause the catalitic reaction which generates non-soluble crystalline formation throughout the pores and capillary tracks stopping penetration of water and other liquids into concrete.

Note: Xypex Admix C series has been formulated to meet different project and temperature conditions. Consult Xypex distributor to get the most appropriate Xypex Admix for your project.

Applications

  • Reservoirs
  • Sewage and water treatment plants
  • Secondary containment structures
  • Tunnels and subway systems
  • Underground vaults
  • Foundations
  • Parking structures
  • Swimming pools
  • Modular elements


Advantages

  • Resists extreme hydrostatic pressure, either positive or negative.
  • Becomes an integral part of the main structure.
  • Tolerant to agressive chemicals.
  • Can seal statical cracks up to 0,4 mm.
  • Allows concrete to “breathe”.
  • Non-toxic.
  • Less costly to apply than similar methods.
  • Permanent.
  • Added to the concrete at the time of batching and therefore is not subject to climatic restraints.
  • Increases flexibility in construction scheduling.

gamma_cure_1

Gamma Cure

Product description gamma_cure-p

Gamma Cure is a cure agent, used for Xypex after-treatment instead of water spraying. Gamma Cure enchances crystallization process and protects surface treated with Xypex.

Properties

Gamma Cure increases hydrolysis of portland cement forming clean silica gel, which absorbs and retains water required for growth of crystals (one gel molecule retains 300 water molecules). Gamma Cure acts as a catalyst for the reaction between unhydrated lime and carbon dioxide, resulting in extremely hard and dense carbonate of lime surface, which retards evaporation.

Application

Dilute 1 part of Gamma Cure with 3 parts clean water.
Apply by spraying onto the crystallised Xypex-processed surface before Xypex dries (approx.1-2 hours after application).

Heating insulation of sub-structures with  STYROFOAM blue insulation tiles

STYROFOAM blue insulation tile from extruded spongy polystyrene foam (XPS) is a special insulation material with high technical characteristics, developed by Dow Chemical Company in 1941. During the process of extrusion melted polystyrene is pressed out through the nozzle, and when cooled, slowly pressed to the necessary gauge.

Nonporous structure of the material comprises the closed cells. Due to the closed cells soaking of tiles is near to be excluded. It means that the material retains its heating insulation ability for a long time, even in the water environment.

Closed cells structure distinguishes itself by a variety of extraordinary properties:

  • especially low heat conductivity foam_2
  • good physical strength
  • no capillary suction capacity

In addition, it boasts a range of special properties:

  • high moisture resistance
  • resistant to freeze/thaw cycling
  • non-shrinkable, great vapor diffusion resistance

During installation it shows up that tiles are:

  • light-weight and easily handled,
  • easily cut with simple tools,
  • decay- and crumb formation resistant,
  • clean, odourless and nonirritant

The extraordinary properties allow to use STYROFOAM products in special type  waterproofing systems – for protection of structures against frost heaving in heating insulation of basements, sole plates, cellar flooring and turned roofs, as well as heating insulation of roads, streets, railways freeze protection, water and sewages.

STYROFOAM insulation provides numerous solutions both for designers, builders and owners of structures: high heating insulation characteristics remains during the whole structure’s life span. E.g., in basement walls and under slab foundations the low heat conductivity remains permanent, and even in frost heaving (when either of the sides contact with soil) only weakens a little.
