Description • Less costly to apply than most other methods
Xypex is a unique chemical treatment for the waterproof-
ing, protection and improvement of concrete. XYPEX
ADMIX C-1000 NF is added to the concrete mix at the
time of batching. Xypex Admix C-1000 NF consists of
Portland cement and various active, proprietary chemi-
cals. These active chemicals react with the moisture
in fresh concrete and with the by-products of cement
hydration to cause a catalytic reaction. This reaction
generates a non-soluble crystalline formation throughout
the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete that perma-
nently seals the concrete and prevents the penetration of
water and other liquids from any direction.
NOTE: The Xypex Admix C-Series has been specially
formulated to meet varying project and temperature
conditions. Xypex Admix C-1000 NF is designed for con-
crete, where normal to a mild retarded set is desired.
See Setting Time and Strength for more details. Consult
with a Xypex Technical Representative for the most
appropriate Xypex Admix for your project.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
AS2350.14, “Length Change in Sulphate Solution”,
Australia Centre of Construction and Innovation,
University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
Potential expansion of concrete in sulphate environ-
ments was assessed in accordance with AS2350.14 by
immersing samples in a sulphate solution over 16 weeks.
Concrete samples containing Xypex Admix at differ-
ent dosage rates (0.8% and 1.2%) were tested against
untreated control samples for sulphate resistance. The
test data showed the use of Xypex Admix demonstrated
significant improvements in sulphate resistance (low
expansion). Higher dose rate of 1.2% of Xypex Admix
resulted in lower expansion in the sulphate solution.
“Sulphate Resistance Test”, Taywood Engineering Ltd.,
Perth, Australia
Xypex Admix-treated concrete samples were immersed
in an ammonium-sulphate solution and tested for “resis-
tance in a harsh environment”. The performance of the
Xypex-Crystalline-Technology was compared with five
other concretes, including one containing a sulphate-
resistant cement. Each of the test samples was cured for
seven days and then placed in an ammonium-sulphate
solution (132 g/l) for 180 days. The rate of corrosion was
determined by measuring weight loss, and length change
was noted on a weekly basis. The Xypex-Crystalline-
Technology substantially improved concrete performance
as compared to the reference concrete and tested very
similar to the sulphate-resistant concrete. The Xypex
Admix-treated samples also provided the highest level of
protection as measured by change in length.
NT BUILD 443, ACCI Modified Test, “Chloride Diffusion
by NordTest with 3% NaCl solution”, Australia Centre
of Construction and Innovation, University of New
South Wales, Sydney, Australia
Xypex Admix modified concretes were immersed in a
3.0% sodium chloride solution for at least 35 days. The
chloride diffusion coefficients were calculated accord-
ing to Fick’s Second Law based on the chloride content
profile in the concrete samples after immersion. Signifi-
cant reductions in the chloride diffusion coefficients were
found with all the Xypex Admix modified concretes by up
to 45% compared to control concretes. The concretes

modified with high dosage rate of Xypex Admix showed
highest level of protection in the chloride diffusion test.
JIS, “Chemical Durability Test”, Japanese Utility
Company, In-house Test Report, Tokyo, Japan
Concrete samples containing Xypex Admix were tested
against five samples containing other admixtures and
against a control sample, to determine resistance to
corrosion and deterioration caused by contact with
aggressive chemicals. All samples were soaked in a
5% sulfuric acid solution at 20ºC for six months. Various
evaluations and measurements were assessed every
month during the test period, including: photographic
comparisons, relative dynamic modulus of elasticity,
percentage change in length, weight and flexural rigidity.
Although the Xypex Admix sample was subjected to
acid conditions well outside its published range, the
results confirmed Xypex with the best performance
among the seven samples tested.
“Sulfuric Acid Resistance Test”, Aviles Engineering
Corporation, Houston, USA
Concrete samples containing Xypex Admix at differ-
ent dosage rates (3%, 5% and 7%) were tested against
untreated control samples for Sulfuric acid resistance.
After immersion in the Sulfuric acid, each sample was
tested for weight loss on a daily basis until a weight loss
of 50% or a definite response trend was obtained. The
percentage weight loss of the samples containing Xypex
Admix tested significantly lower than the control samples.

Directions for Use
Xypex Admix C-1000 NF must be added to the concrete
at the time of batching. The sequence of procedures for
addition will vary according to the type of batch plant
operation and equipment:
1. READY MIX PLANT - DRY BATCH OPERATION Prior
to concrete being batched, add Xypex Admix in powder
form to the drum of the ready-mix truck. After batching,
mix the materials for 2 - 3 minutes to ensure the Admix is
distributed evenly throughout the batch. A minimum of 10
minutes must elapse before discharge of the concrete.
A further 1 minute of mixing at high speed immediately
prior to discharge is recommended.
2. READY MIX PLANT - CENTRAL MIX OPERATION Mix
Xypex Admix with water to form a very thin slurry (e.g.
7.0 kg of powder mixed with 13.0 litres of water). Pour the
required amount of material into the drum of the ready-
mix truck. The aggregate, cement and water should
be batched and mixed in the plant in accordance with
standard practices (taking into account the quantity of
water that has already been placed in the ready-mix
truck). Pour the concrete into the truck and mix for at
least 5 minutes to ensure even distribution of the Xypex
Admix throughout the concrete.
3. PRECAST BATCH PLANT Add Xypex Admix to the
rock and sand, then mix thoroughly for 2 - 3 minutes
before adding the cement and water. The total concrete
mass should be blended using standard practices.
NOTE:
i. It is important to obtain a homogeneous mixture of
Xypex Admix with the concrete. Therefore, do not add
dry Admix powder directly to wet concrete as this may
cause clumping and thorough dispersion will not occur.
ii. Xypex soluble bags are best suited for use in the Dry
Batch operation.
Admix for a specific project, consult with a Xypex Technical
Representative.
Setting Time and Strength
The setting time of concrete is affected by the chemi-
ture of the concrete, and climatic conditions. Extension
of set time may occur when using Xypex Admix C-1000
NF. The amount of extended set will depend upon the
concrete mix design and the dosage rate of the Admix.
Concrete containing Xypex Admix may develop higher
ultimate strengths than plain concrete. Trial mixes should
be carried out under project conditions to determine
setting time and strength of the concrete.
Limitations
When incorporating Xypex Admix, the temperature of the
concrete mix should be above 4ºC.

Description • Not subject to deterioration
Xypex is a unique chemical treatment for the waterproof-
ing, protection and repair of concrete. XYPEX CONCEN-
TRATE is the most chemically active product within the
Xypex Crystalline Waterproofing System. When mixed
with water, this light grey powder is applied as a cementi-
tious 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 concrete and cement-based materials.

Application Procedures
1. SURFACE PREPARATION Concrete surfaces to
be treated must be clean and free of laitance, dirt, film,
D A T A
paint, coating or other foreign matter. Surfaces must also
have an open capillary system to provide “tooth and suc-
tion” for the Xypex treatment. If surface is too smooth
(e.g. where steel forms are used) or covered with excess
form oil or other foreign matter, the concrete should be
lightly sandblasted, waterblasted, or etched with muriatic
(HCL) acid.
2. STRUCTURAL REPAIR Rout out cracks, faulty con-
struction joints and other structural defects to a depth
of 37 mm and a width of 25 mm. Apply a brush coat of
Xypex Concentrate as described in steps 5 & 6 and allow
to dry for 10 minutes. Fill cavity by tightly compressing
Dry-Pac into the groove with pneumatic packing tool or
with hammer and wood block. Dry-Pac is prepared by
mixing six parts Xypex Concentrate powder with one part
water to a dry, lumpy consistency.
NOTE:
i. Against a direct flow of water (leakage) or where there
is excess moisture due to seepage, use Xypex Patch’n
Plug then Xypex Dry-Pac followed by a brush coat of
Xypex Concentrate (refer to Xypex Specification and
Application Manual for full details).
ii. For expansion joints or chronic moving cracks, flex-
ible materials such as expansion joint sealants should
be used.
3. WETTING CONCRETE Xypex requires a saturated
substrate and a damp surface. Concrete surfaces must
be thoroughly saturated with clean water prior to the
application so as to aid the proper curing of the treatment
and to ensure the growth of the crystalline formation
deep within the pores of the concrete. Remove excess
surface water before the application. If concrete surface
dries out before application, it must be re-wetted.
4. MIXING FOR SLURRY COAT Mix Xypex powder with
clean water to a creamy consistency in the following
proportions:
For Brush Application
0.65 - 0.8 kg/m2
5 parts powder to 2 parts water
1.0 kg/m2
3 parts powder to 1 part water
For Spray Application
0.65 - 0.8 kg/m2
5 parts powder to 3 parts water
(ratio may vary with equipment type)
Do not mix more Xypex material than can be applied in
20 minutes. Do not add water once mix starts to harden.
Protect hands with rubber gloves.
5. APPLYING XYPEX Apply Xypex with a semi-stiff
nylon bristle brush, push broom (for large horizontal
surfaces) or specialised spray equipment. The coating
must be uniformly applied and should be just under
1.25 mm. When a second coat (Xypex Concentrate or
Xypex Modified) is required, it should be applied after
the first coat has reached an initial set but while it is still
“green” (less than 48 hours). Light pre-watering between
coats may be required due to drying. The Xypex treat-
ment must not be applied under rainy conditions or when
ambient temperature is below 4ºC. For recommended
equipment, contact Xypex Australia or your nearest
Xypex distributor.
6. CURING A misty fog spray of clean water must be
used for curing the Xypex treatment. Curing should
begin as soon as the Xypex has set to the point where
it will not be damaged by a fine spray of water. Under
normal conditions, it is sufficient to spray Xypex-treated
surfaces three times per day for two to three days. In
hot or arid climates, spraying may be required more
frequently. During the curing period, the coating must be
protected from rainfall, frost, wind, the puddling of water
and temperatures below 2ºC for a period of not less than
48 hours after application. If plastic sheeting is used as
protection, it must be raised off the Xypex to allow the
coating to breathe. Xypex Gamma Cure may be used in
lieu of water curing for certain applications (consult with
Xypex Australia’s Technical Department or your local
Xypex representative).
NOTE: For concrete structures that hold liquids (e.g.
reservoirs, swimming pools, tanks, etc.), Xypex should
be cured for three days and allowed to set for 12 days
before filling the structure with liquid.

Application Procedures
1. SURFACE PREPARATION Remove loose, delaminated
or unsound concrete by high pressure water blast, chip-
ping, or other means. Complete structural or reinforcing
steel corrosion repairs as necessary. Saw cut perimeter
of repair area to 10 mm depth. Remove dust, micro frac-
tured particles and foreign material from the repair area
by pressure washing or other suitable means necessary
to clean surface and obtain desired bond.

DAT-MGMII-AUS
Concrete Waterproofing By Crystallization™ REV-12-04
2. MIXING PROCEDURES Best results are achieved
using a mechanical mortar mixer and paddle with a
capacity for low speed continuous blending. For small
quantities of material a paddle mixer can be substituted.
Mix requires 2.8 litres of clean water per 20 kg bucket
of Megamix II. Add approximately 90% of the required
amount of water to a mixer and then add the Megamix II
powder. Mix briefly and add additional water as required
up to a maximum of 2.8 litres per 20 kg bucket. Mix 3 to
5 minutes to achieve a uniform consistency. Over mixing
or delivery delays may result in product stiffening. Do not
over-water.
3. APPLYING MEGAMIX II Saturate the repair area with
clean water and allow the surface to come to a “saturated,
surface dry” (SSD) condition. Maintain concrete substrate
in this condition during the application process. For
improved bond, apply scrub coat of Megamix II onto
prepared surface using a stiff bristle brush. Apply full
coat of Megamix II while scrub coat is still wet (generally
within 20 minutes). Apply Megamix II by low pressure
spray equipment with sufficient velocity to compact and
build thickness of the mortar. The spray nozzle should
have a minimum 12.5 mm orifice to prevent clogging.
Spray-apply Megamix II, at a right angle to surface, at
a distance of 450 mm to 600 mm. Complete finishing
operations as quickly as possible. Megamix II can be
finished to varying surface textures, including a rough fin-
ish directly from spraying nozzle, to semi-smooth using
a wood or rubber float, or smooth using a steel trowel.
NOTE:
i. For a recommendation regarding the specific type
of equipment required for the mixing and for the spray
application of Megamix II, please contact the Techni-
cal Department of Xypex Australia or your local Xypex
representative.
ii. An application of Xypex Concentrate may be specified
by an engineer or design authority to provide enhanced
waterproofing and chemical protection in extremely
harsh conditions.
iii. Xypex Concentrate should be applied onto the
Megamix II surface immediately following moist curing
(i.e. 3 days). Ensure that the Megamix surface is rough
or scored and saturated to provide “tooth and suction”
for the Xypex coating. Not applicable when curing com-
pounds utilised.
4. APPLICATION THICKNESS The thickness of the
Megamix II application will depend on specific job site
conditions and requirements. As a general guide, appli-
cation thickness should be between 10 mm and 50 mm.
Single layer thickness for spray application will depend
on equipment and applicator skill, but may be up to 50
mm vertical and 40 mm overhead. Roughen or score
the surface before applying successive layers and apply
immediately following initial set.

NOTE: For any application greater than 50 mm contact
the Technical Department of Xypex Australia or your
local Xypex representative.
5. CURING Curing is essential for optimum quality and
durability of the repair mortar. Cure Megamix II using
either AS 3799 or ASTM C 309 compliant curing com-
pounds or by moist curing methods. For moist curing,
apply continuous source of moisture by spray, or wet
burlap and polyethylene sheet or other suitable means
for a minimum of 3 days. Containment structures (i.e.
reservoirs, tanks, etc.) can be filled with water following
3 days moist curing of the Megamix II coating.
NOTE:
i. In hot, dry, windy weather, special curing procedures may
be required prior to final set. This may involve use of fog
spray, or suitable curing compounds following finishing.
ii. Megamix II should not be mixed and placed at tem-
peratures below 3ºC or above 30ºC. Protect from rapid
evaporation (hot and/or cold and windy conditions).

3. PLUGGING Mix as above and form plug with gloved
hand to desired shape. Allow to harden for at least
30 minutes. Place plug into rout and compress with
hammer and block. When sealing cracks, begin at the
highest point and work down.
NOTE: Where there is a high volume of water flow due
to extreme hydrostatic pressure, a bleeder hose may be
necessary to relieve the water pressure while sealing the
repair area.
Follow These Steps:
a. With a concrete chisel and hammer (or chipping gun),
cut open a cavity at the point of greatest water flow.
b. Place a stiff section of hose or pipe into the cavity and
secure in place with Patch’n Plug to force water through
the hose. This relieves the pressure so that the area can
be patched. Allow a minimum of 24 hours for hardening.
c. Remove bleeder hose and plug remaining hole.
Patching Instructions
1. SURFACE PREPARATION Rout out faulty concrete until
sound substrate is reached. Remove all loose materials
from area and saturate with clean water. Allow water to be
absorbed into the concrete, then remove excess water.
2. MIXING For fast repairs to concrete or masonry, add
water to Patch’n Plug powder (1.5 parts water to 4 parts
powder by volume). Mix to a workable mortar consis-
tency and trowel on as required. For large repairs, mix
1 part Patch’n Plug with 2 parts mason sand or small
aggregate (10 mm minus crushed stone). Maximum
ratio is 13.5 kg stone to one 20 kg bucket of Patch’n
Plug. Where increased bonding is required, use Xycrylic
Admix (or suitable bonding agent) as directed.
Safe Handling Information

Xypex concentrate

Xypex Patch’n Plug General:

Xypex Gamma cure This Method Statement details the products and procedures to treat cracks or faulty
concrete construction joints.

surface PreParation:

Form a rout along the entire length of the crack or construction joint to approximately
25mm wide by 25mm to 37mm deep (it is advised that the larger the volume of the flow
the deeper the rout depth to aid in ease of repair).

If the joint is a floor wall joint, ensure the rout intersects both the floor and the wall sections
of the concrete.

The rout should be preferably dovetail, square or as close to a “U” shape as practical. A
“V” shaped rout is not acceptable.

Thoroughly clean the rout of all loose material and saturate the rout area. Xypex requires
a Saturated Substrate and Damp surface (SSD). Concrete surfaces must be thoroughly
saturated with clean water prior to the application. Remove excess surface water before
the application. If concrete surface dries out before application, it must be re-wetted.

aPPlication:

No water flows present

1. Mix Xypex Concentrate, five (5) parts powder to two (2) parts clean water into a
slurry and brush apply to the base of the rout, at a coverage rate of approximately 0.8
kg/m². The coating must be uniformly applied and approximately 1.25mm thick.

2. Allow the Xypex Concentrate slurry to reach initial set, mix Xypex Concentrate, six
(6) parts powder to one (1) part clean water, as a dry pac and compress into the rout
with a hammer and block or pneumatic packing device to an approximate depth of
15mm.

3. Remove any residual product from exposed sides of rout.

4. Apply a fine mist spray of water to seal the surface of the dry pac.

5. Mix Xypex Patch’n Plug, three and a half (3.5) parts powder to one (1) part clean
water into a stiff putty and apply to the rout to return to profile. Allow a minimum of one
hour to set and to cool.

6. Mix Xypex Concentrate, as above, into a slurry and apply over the repaired area
at the rate of approximately 0.8 kg/m². The coating must be uniformly applied and
approximately 1.25mm thick.

7. Cure by mist spraying three times daily for two to three days. If this process is
impractical apply a mist of Xypex Gamma Cure. Mix three (3) parts water to one (1)
part Xypex Gamma Cure.

Xypex concentrate

Xypex Megamix II general:

This method statement details the products and procedures to carry out concrete repairs
where the concrete is spalling or is honeycombed.

Note: If water flows are present within the defect, it will be necessary to stop the flows.
Refer to the Method Statement for Sealing of Cracks and Faulty Construction Joints.

surface PreParation:

Saw cut the perimeter of the repair area to a minimum depth of 10mm.

Remove all loose and delaminating material until a sound substrate is exposed. Removal of
deteriorated concrete is generally achieved by mechanical scabbling or hydro-demolition.
If mechanical scabbling is undertaken, the exposed area must be made free of all dirt
and loose material. Xypex requires a Saturated Substrate and Damp surface (SSD).
Concrete surfaces must be thoroughly saturated with clean water prior to the application.
Remove excess surface water before the application. If concrete surface dries out before
application, it must be re-wetted.

All corroded steel must be exposed, generally the substrate is removed to a minimum of
20mm beyond the corroded reinforcement (this requirement may be varied by engineering
directives). Once exposed the reinforcement must be cleaned of rust and scale.

Where necessary, replace the corroded reinforcement bar (specification governing the
reinforcement replacement requirements are the responsibility of the project engineer).

aPPlication:

1. Saturate the concrete with clean water so as to achieve a SSD surface.

2. Mix Xypex Concentrate, five (5) parts powder to two (2) parts clean water into a
slurry and apply a brush coat of the material on to the prepared reinforcement steel.

3. Mix Xypex Megamix II with clean water. Add approximately 90% of the water to a
mixer and then add the Xypex Megamix II powder. Mix briefly and add additional
water as required to a maximum of 2.8 litres per 20 kg bucket.

4. Apply a scrub coat of this mixed material to the prepared, saturated concrete surface.
While the scrub coat is still green, apply Xypex Megamix II to the repair areas.

5. Xypex Megamix II should be applied in layers not greater than 50mm in thickness.
Allow each layer to reach initial set before applying subsequent layers, the surface
should be “scratched” to allow for increased bond of subsequent layers.
