Xypex Admix C-500/C-500 NF
Admix C-500/C-500 NF is added to the concrete mix at the time of batching. Admix C-500/C-500 NF consists of Portland cement, silica sand (excluding the NF grade) and various active, proprietary chemicals. 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 permanently seals the concrete and prevents the penetration of water and other liquids from any direction.
