Admix C-Series: improving concrete performance right from the start
May 25, 2023
XYPEX ADMIX - Making Waterproofing Part of the Mix
Xypex Admixtures are added to the concrete at the time of batching, making it easy to install, and unlike other waterproofing methods, require less trades on site and shorten the time required for installation. The Admix C-Series has been specially formulated to meet varying project and temperature conditions.
Admix C-500/C-500 NF is formulated to have minimal or no effect on setting time. Admix C-1000/C-1000 NF is formulated for concrete mix designs where a normal or mildly delayed set is desired. Admix C-2000/C-2000 NF is designed for warmer climates and projects where a slower hydration rate is typically required. Admix C-500 NF Red and Admix C-1000 Red contains a red oxide pigment as a quality assurance measure for precasters.
For ease of use, Xypex Admix is available in pails, bags or soluble bags.
The design team for the new Amos Rex Museum considered many solutions for waterproofing the underground art galleries and storage areas but ultimately chose Xypex Admix C-1000 NF to protect against the high water table because of its proven track record in similar high-profile projects worldwide.
