Description
Xypex is a unique chemical treatment for the waterproofing, protection and improvement of concrete. XYPEXADMIX 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 chemicals. These active chemicals react with the moisturein fresh concrete and with the by-products of cementhydration to cause a catalytic reaction. This reactiongenerates a non-soluble crystalline formation throughout the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete that permanently seals the concrete and prevents the penetration of water and other liquids from any direction.
Xypex Admix C-Series
All variations of the Admix C-Series contain the same amount of reactive chemicals at their prescribed dosage rates and provide the same waterproofing and durability performance characteristics. Xypex Admix C-Series is available in regular or no-fines grades (NF). Xypex Admix C-500/C-500 NF is formulated to have minimal or no effect on setting time. Xypex Admix C-1000/C-1000 NF is formulated for concrete mix designs where a normalor mildly delayed set is desired. Xypex Admix C-2000/C-2000 NF is designed for warmer climates and projects where a slower hydration rate is typically required. See Setting Time and Strength for more details. Consult with a Xypex Technical Services Representative for the most appropriate Xypex Admix for your project.
Compliance
Xypex Admix C-1000 NF complies with the requirements of AS 1478.1-2000, Chemical Admixture for Concrete, For Special Purpose Normal-Setting (Type SN) Admixture.
