XYPEX CONCENTRATE DS-1 and DS-2

Xypex Concentrate is a unique chemical treatment for the waterproofing and protection of concrete. XYPEX CONCENTRATE DS-1 is a special formulation designed specifically for a dry-shake application on horizontal concrete surfaces.

Packaged in the form of a dry pow-der compound, Concentrate DS-1 consists of Portland cement, various active proprietary chemicals, and an aggregate which has been crushed and graded to par-ticle sizes suitable for concrete floors.

DS-1 becomes an integral part of the concrete surface thereby eliminating problems normally associated with coatings (e.g. scaling, dusting, flaking and delamination). The active chemicals react with the moisture of the fresh concrete causing a catalytic reaction which generates a non-soluble crystal-line formation within the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete.

Advantages

• Resists extreme hydrostatic pressure from either positive or negative surface of the concrete slab
• Chloride protection in marine environment
• Becomes an integral part of the substrate
• Highly resistant to aggressive chemicals
• Can self-heal static hairline cracks up to 0.4 mm
• Allows concrete to breathe
• Non-toxic / no VOCs
• Less costly to apply than most other methods
• Permanent
• Increases flexibility in the construction schedule
