How is Xypex Different from Other Products?
The Xypex crystalline system for concrete waterproofing and protection is substantially different from traditional barrier products (membranes, cementitious coatings, etc): 1. Xypex creates a crystalline structure deep within the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete mass to prevent the penetration of water and aggressive chemicals. In contrast, barrier type products function only at the surface of concrete. 2. Because Xypex is not dependent on surface adhesion to achieve its waterproofing effect, it is resistant to extreme hydrostatic pressure. 3. Xypex will seal hairline cracks up to 0.4 mm (1/64). 4. Xypex is not subject to the deterioration problems encountered by membranes. 5. Xypex is designed to be permanent and reactivates whenever water is present.
