Xypex Chemical Corporation
In more than 90 countries, the proprietary crystalline waterproofing products of Xypex Chemical Corporation are stocked, sold, and supported by a worldwide network of distributors and licensees.
Waterproofing Material For Concrete. To meet the challenges of changing construction practices, divergent global environments and specific customer requirements, Xypex has continually developed and expanded its line of products.
The Xypex Crystalline Technology remains at the core of this line that has evolved into an integrated system: Concrete Waterproofing Coatings: Recommended for reservoirs, sewage and water treatment plants, underground vaults, secondary containment structures, foundations, tunnels and subway systems, swimming pools, & parking structures.

Army Corps of Engineers CRD C48, “Permeability of Concrete”, Aviles Engineering Corp., Houston, USA Two concrete samples containing Xypex Admix and an untreated control sample were tested for water permeability. Both the treated and untreated samples were subjected to a pressure of 150 psi / 1.04 MPa (350 ft. / 106.7 m water head). Results showed moisture and permeated water throughout the untreated sample after 24 hours. Concrete Patching Compound. Crystalline Waterproofing Products. Crystallization Waterproofing System.

Crystallization Waterproofing System. Basic to the development of Xypex Crystalline Technology was a thorough understanding of concrete's chemical and physical makeup.
Concrete is porous. Its tunnel-like capillaries are a natural part of its mass, and permit the passage of water and other liquids. Researchers at Xypex recognized the opportunity for a chemical treatment that would fill these capillaries to prevent the penetration of water and other liquids from any direction.
