XYPEX
PATCH'N PLUG is a specially designed, fast-setting,
non-shrink, high-bond-strength, hydraulic cement compound
for concrete patching and repair.
Patch'n Plug stops flowing water in seconds and is used
to seal cracks, tie holes, and other defects in concrete.
The high performance characteristics of Patch'n Plug
are enhanced by Xypex's unique crystalline waterproofing
technology. |

CONCENTRATE |
Description: |
aaaa
|
| Xypex
is a unique chemical treatment for the waterproofing,
protection and repair of concrete. XYPEX CONCENTRATE
is the most chemically active product within the Xypex
Crystalline Waterproofing System. When mixed with water,
this light grey powder is applied as a cementitious
slurry coat to above ground or below ground concrete,
either as a single coat or as the first of a two-coat
application. It is also mixed in Dry-Pac form for sealing
strips at construction joints, or for the repairing
of cracks, faulty construction joints, and honeycombs.
Xypex prevents the penetration of water and other liquids
from any direction by causing a catalytic reaction that
produces a non-soluble crystalline formation within
the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete and cement-based
materials. |

KUNISEAL C-31 (Water-swelling Waterstop) |
Description: |
aaaa
|
| Kuniseal
C-31 has been developed as an easy to use Bentonite/Clay
concrete waterstop material. Used in construction joints,
it reduces installation time and has the ability to
swell on contact with water and fill any voided area
in the surrounding concrete, eliminating the passage
of water. The Kuniseal expansion does not exert pressure
on the surrounding concrete. It is packaged in 2Lm strips
@ 10 x per box. We do not sell the strips individually
but we do with the Adeka MC-2010MN. |
| Uses: |
·
·
·
·
·
|
Concrete
construction joints, both vertical and horizontal.
Foundation Joints.
Water Containing Structures
Insitu penetrations in concrete
H shaped beams |
| Features
& Benefits: |

·
·
·
·
|
No
special adhesive required.
Installation time is reduced.
Long lasting, insitu durability.
Superior results in stopping moisture penetration.
Suitable for marine environment.

| HOW
DOES XYPEX WORK? i.e. Xypex 'CONCENTRATE' (above) |
To create its crystalline waterproofing effect, Xypex
must become an integral part of the concrete mass. It
does so by taking advantage of the natural and inherent
characteristics of concrete; concrete is both porous
(capillary tract system) and chemical in nature. By
means of diffusion, the reactive chemicals in Xypex
use water as a migrating medium to enter and travel
through the capillary tracts in the concrete. This process
precipitates a chemical reaction between Xypex, moisture
and the natural chemical by-products of cement hydration
(calcium hydroxide, mineral salts, mineral oxides and
unhydrated and partially hydrated cement particles).
The result is crystallization and, ultimately, a non-soluble
crystalline structure that plugs the pores and capillary
tracts of the concrete. In this condition, the pores
become discontinuous and the concrete is thereby rendered
impenetrable by water and other liquids from any direction.
The Xypex crystalline process will reactivate whenever
water is present. The
crystallization process that Xypex causes within the
pores and capillary tracts of concrete is illustrated
below in electron microscope photos taken by an independent
research team.

1.
Concrete (Untreated)
A control sample of concrete was sheared through
at 50 mm below the top surface. The sheared face
shows some of the by-products of cement hydration
with which Xypex reacts. Precipitated calcium
hydroxide together with cubic and rhombic particles
are visible. |

2.
XYPEX Crystallization (Initiation)
Taken at 50 mm within a Xypex-treated concrete
sample, this photograph shows the initiation of
the Xypex crystalline reaction after Xypex Concentrate
was applied to the surface. |
 |
|
3.
XYPEX Crystallization (Mature)
This
photo was taken 26 days after the application
of Xypex Concentrate at a depth of 50 mm into
the concrete sample. A dense, fully developed
crystalline structure has formed within the capillary
tracts of the concrete to completely block the
flow of water. |
