About

Xypex Concentrate is a high-performance system for delivering sustainability to existing concrete structures. It is enhanced by Xypex’s unique crystalline technology that can assist clients meet project sustainability targets for concrete infrastructure across all construction industry sectors. Xypex Concentrate is applied as a cementitious slurry to the surface of existing concrete structures to deliver durability and watertightness to the concrete. The active chemicals diffuse into the substrate from the coating and react with moisture and the constituents of hardened concrete to cause a catalytic reaction which generates a permanent, non-soluble crystalline structure which blocks the pores, capillary tracts and micro-cracks within the concrete substrate and permanently seals the concrete against the penetration of water from any direction. Xypex Crystalline Technology delivers durability which protects both the steel reinforcement and concrete from all types of corrosion and as it becomes an integral component within the matrix of the concrete, it remains active for the life of the structure and provides self-healing properties for static micro-cracks up to 0.4mm wide. Xypex Concentrate can be applied by brush or spray. Independent testing supports all aspects of its performance. Xypex Concentrate is manufactured in Australia and is available across Australia and New Zealand.

Sustainability Outcomes

Xypex Concentrate has an EPD which provides a transparent, ISO compliant, third party verified certification of the lifecycle assessment. Through our tailored Xypex solutions, we help clients to be leaders in sustainable design and construction. Xypex Concentrate is Global Green Tag certified to GreenRate Level A which is an ISC approved Type I environmental label with a Sustainability Factor of 1.00. Using Xypex Concentrate for the treatment of the concrete on your project may assist in achieving points in Rso-7 (v2.1) and Mat-2 (v1.2) credits. Xypex Concentrate can help all stakeholders reduce the whole of lifecycle cost and carbon impacts of a concrete asset by extending the service life and reducing the repair and maintenance costs. Xypex Concentrate may therefore help achieve points under Rso-6 (v2.1) and Mat-1 (v1.2) credits through its reduction of lifecycle environmental impact. Projects can be rewarded for Innovation Challenges through the use of multiple sustainable iSupply products and the use of Xypex Concentrate may assist in achieving innovation points under Inn-1(v2.1) and Inn-1 (v1.2) credits accordingly. Using Xypex Concentrate on your project can assist in increasing your asset’s sustainability rating as well as reducing construction time and cost versus other coating and membrane systems.
