Xypex Admix
Product description
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.
