XYPEX Chemical Corporation is the leading manufacturer of crystalline waterproofing technology with over 37 years of experience. XYPEX products are readily available through an extensive national network of dedicated representatives and distributors in the United States and over 70 countries around the world.

XYPEX Crystalline Technology waterproofs and enhances the chemical protection of concrete though its unique reactive process. The active chemical components in XYPEX react with the by-products of cement hydration resulting in a non-soluble crystalline structure that fills and plugs the pores and capillary tracts of the structure. In this way, the concrete becomes impermeable to water and other liquids and is chemically protected against chemical attack.

XYPEX is a cost effective alternative to other waterproofing and protective coating systems. It can be applied on the positive or negative side of structures that are currently in use, does not require protection during backfilling, seals static hairline cracks up to 0.4mm and is less costly to apply than most other methods. XYPEX can also be used as an admixture at the time of batching which eliminates the need to apply protective coatings in the field thus reducing costs and application variables.

XYPEX admix and coating materials are used on a variety of concrete structures including foundation walls and slabs, parking structures, swimming pools and water tanks, as well as utility structures such as sewage pipe, manholes, precast concrete pump stations and other structures found in water and waste treatment systems.
