Water-Proofing Technology
Our projects are consistently completed on time and on budget, delivering a top quality, cost efficient and functional product to our clients.
Executive Summary •
The Regulatory - The IP Code defined in international standard IEC 60529 classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects (including body parts like hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact, and water in electrical enclosures. It consists of the letters IP (for "international protection rating", sometimes also interpreted as "ingress protection rating") followed by two digits and an optional letter. The standard aims to provide users more detailed information than marketing terms such as "waterproof".

Availability and Cost AVAILABILITY The products are available through a global network of factories, regional distributors, dealers, construction supply outlets and retail building supply outlets. Contact Xypex Chemical Corporation for the name of the nearest supplier. COST Because it does not require surface preparation such as priming, leveling or protection during backfilling, it is less costly to apply than most other waterproofing methods. WARRANTY It warrants that the products manufactured by it shall be free from material defects and will be consistent with its normal high quality. Should any of the products be proven defective, the liability to Xypex Corporation shall be limited to replacement of the products ex-factory. It makes no warranty as to merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties express or implied. User shall determine the suitability of the product for the intended use and assume all risks and liability in connection therewith. MAINTENANCE When properly installed by an applicator experienced in the installation of crystalline waterproofing, the product is permanent and requires no maintenance. TECHNICAL SERVICES Technical assistance including more detailed information, product literature, test results, project lists, assistance in preparing project specifications and arrangements for application supervision are available by contacting us or the nearest distributor.

Product Features •
Other Applications - The material produced in dry powder from crystalline waterproofing products reduces shrinkage and cracking to a wide range of other concrete elements. Crystalline technology can improve the performance of bagged mortar mixes, stuccos, and concrete. - The performance of precast concrete panels, as well as precast elements, such as pipes, box culverts, and manholes can also be enhanced.
•
As an Applied Product - For the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Neutral Buoyancy Tank, a two-coat application of white crystalline waterproofing was applied to the 50,000 sq. ft. Lab Tank. This tank is used to train astronauts for space walks necessary during construction of the space station. The white crystalline waterproofing treatment was chosen as a replacement for a white pool paint finish because of its longer lifespan and lower maintenance requirements.
Advantages •
Not just a surface coating - Not dependent upon continuity of membrane for waterproofing action
•
Seals hairline cracks up to 1/64 in. (0.4 mm)
•
No surface priming or leveling required
•
Cannot puncture, tear or come apart at the seams
•
Does not require protection during back-filling or during placement of steel, wire mesh or other materials
•
Can be applied to moist or green concrete
•
Less costly to apply than most other waterproofing methods
Limitation • The products must be stored dry at a minimum temperature of 45°F (7°C). The shelf life is one year when stored under proper conditions. • It is not designed for use in expansion joints or chronically moving cracks.
Applications
Conclusion Although concrete may appear to be a simple product to put together, it requires a highly engineered approach. In an increasingly competitive design and construction environment, where high performance requirements, such as longer life cycles, more durable concrete, and value engineering are expected, careful consideration must be paid to basic requirements, such as the concrete, water, and cement ratio; cementing materials, and more sophisticated chemical admixtures. Effective use of crystalline waterproofing technology will reduce the porosity and permeability of conventional concrete, and provide the high performance advantages and benefits that building owners and design professionals have come to rely upon in design and construction projects.
