Xypex waterproofing accomplishes waterproofing by forming crystals in the capillary pores of concrete. It can be used in 4 ways: 1) surface application on new or existing concrete surfaces, 2) dry shake application on fresh horizontal concrete surfaces incorporated into the concrete surface during the finishing process, 3) applied to the surfaces of construction joints between successive pours, and 4) mixed into the concrete. The latter two applications are not included in this section, and are normally included in the cast-in-place concrete section.
Xypex waterproofing can be used above and below grade, on decks, elevator/sump pits, planters, swimming pools, tunnels, clarifier tanks, digester sections, reservoirs and wet wells, underground vaults and dry wells, manholes, ferro-cement boats and floating docks, and many other difficult to waterproof applications.
Xypex may be painted or otherwise coated, plastered, or tiled. However, because the waterproofing forms a relatively smooth surface and fills the concrete pores, the waterproofed surface may not have enough suction for bonding of cementitious materials like plaster and tile setting materials without the use of special bonding agents. It may be necessary to field test waterproofed surfaces to determine what preparation is necessary to ensure adhesion.
