What are the application advantages of using Xypex instead of membranes?
The crystalline nature of the Xypex waterproofing system provides many application advantages over traditional barrier products: 1. Xypex does not require a dry surface; in fact, a wet surface is necessary. 2. Xypex does not require dry weather to be applied. 3. Xypex does not require costly surface priming or leveling prior to application. 4. Xypex cannot puncture, tear or come apart at the seams. 5. Xypex does not require protection during backfilling or during placement of steel, wire mesh or other materials. 6. Xypex can be applied on either side of a concrete surface – the negative or the positive (water pressure) side. 7. Xypex does not require sealing, lapping and finishing of seams at corners, edges or between membranes. 8. Xypex is less costly to apply than most other methods.
