Bio-San® C500
Bio-San C500 is a uniquely designed admixture for integral, long-term protection of concrete in sewage conditions with levels of H2S that cause microbial induced corrosion. Bio-San C500 combines potent antimicrobial protection along with the unique crystalline technology of the Xypex C-Series. Bio-San C500 contains bio-active mineral solids that become permanently fixed within the cement matrix impairing bio-film formation thus inhibiting the growth of acid causing sewer bacteria such as Thiobacillus due to a build-up of H2S. The unique Xypex Crystalline Technology creates a permanent structure throughout the pores and capillary tracts providing waterproofing and enhanced chemical protection including acid and sulfate resistance. Bio- San C500 inhibits microbial induced corrosion (MIC), stops infiltration/exfiltration of water, and provides acid and sulfate resistance, significantly extending the service life of concrete sewage collection systems and waste water infrastructure.

- Storage
Xypex products must be stored dry at a minimum temperature of 45ºF (7ºC). Shelf life is one year when stored under proper conditions.
- PACKAGING
Xypex Bio-San C500 is packaged in 50 lb. (22.7 kg) pails. Contact the manufacturer for availability of customsized packaging to meet the requirements of your specific project.
- Advantages
Inhibits microbial induced corrosion; Resists extreme hydrostatic pressure; Resistant to aggressive chemicals (acids and sulfates); Can seal static hairline cracks up to 0.4 mm; Becomes a permanent, integral part of the substrate and cannot be punctured, damaged or lose adhesion; Does not contain any VOCs; Less costly to apply than most other methods; Added to the concrete at the time of batching and therefore not subject to weather and surface moisture constraints
- Limitations
When incorporating Xypex Bio-San C500, the temperature of the concrete mix should be above 40ºF (4ºC).
- Dosage Rate
Xypex Bio-San C500: 1% by weight of total cementitious content.
