Building Durable Structures from the Ground Up
In modern construction, waterproofing is no longer an afterthought—it is a critical part of structural design. In the Philippines, where heavy rainfall, high humidity, and groundwater exposure are constant challenges, integrating waterproofing during the construction phase is essential.
Xypex crystalline waterproofing technology offers a proactive solution by transforming concrete into a self-sealing barrier that protects structures from within.

FIRST WATERPROOFING ADMIXTURE
Concrete Waterproofing Admixtures
Protect concrete from within—starting at the mixing stage. Xypex crystalline admixtures are incorporated directly during batching to provide integral waterproofing, enhanced durability, and long-term resistance against water intrusion, chemical attack, and premature deterioration in both above-ground and below-grade concrete structures.
Admix C-Series
Xypex Admix C-Series is blended directly into the concrete during batching, transforming the concrete itself into a permanent waterproofing and protection system.
Specially formulated to meet varying project requirements and temperature conditions, Admix C-Series offers flexible solutions for diverse construction environments.
Xypex Admixtures now contain the latest in Xypex innovation, the Visual Detection System (VDS). It is designed to confirm the presence of Xypex Crystalline Waterproofing Admixture in hardened concrete.
First Waterproofing Admixture
Xypex is the only EN approved Waterproofing Admixture.
Other crystalline admixtures are classified as Water Resisting admixtures.

Why Use Xypex in New Construction Projects?
01
Integral Protection from Day One
Applying Xypex during the construction phase ensures waterproofing is embedded within the concrete structure, reducing reliance on surface-applied membranes that can fail over time.
02
Self-Healing Technology
Xypex crystalline growth can reactivate when water is present, allowing it to seal new micro-cracks that may develop over the lifespan of the structure.
03
Reduced Maintenance Costs
By eliminating common leakage points early, building owners significantly reduce repair and maintenance expenses over time.
04
Suitable for Harsh Philippine Conditions
Designed to withstand hydrostatic pressure and continuous moisture exposure, Xypex is ideal for basements, water tanks, tunnels, podium decks, and foundations.
Self-Healing Concrete
Xypex crystalline technology actively responds to moisture by forming crystals within concrete pores and microcracks, enabling continuous self-sealing over the structure’s lifespan.
Key Benefits:
- Seals hairline cracks and microcracks automatically
- Reactivates in the presence of water
- Reduces water penetration
- Extends structural durability
- Minimizes future maintenance and repair costs
Concrete remains protected from water intrusion long after construction, delivering permanent internal defense against cracking and seepage.
Key Applications in New Construction
Basement foundations and retaining walls
Water treatment and potable water tanks
Elevator pits and lift shafts
Podium slabs and roof decks
Tunnels and underground structures
Swimming pools and water-retaining structures

Xypex vs Traditional Waterproofing Membranes
Traditional membrane systems rely on surface adhesion and are inherently vulnerable to punctures, seam failures, delamination, and deterioration over time. In demanding construction environments, membrane failure is often not a question of if—but when.
Surface Membranes (Vulnerable)
Requires dry conditions, extends construction schedules, and degrades over time, leaving structural cracks exposed.
Integral Matrix (Permanent)
Transforms the entire concrete mass into a self-healing water barrier that actively responds to moisture.
How Xypex is Applied in Construction
Admixture
Added directly into the concrete mix at batching plants
Dry Shake
Applied to horizontal surfaces during pouring
Surface Treatment
Applied after concrete placement for enhanced protection
Partnering for Better Concrete Protection in the Philippines
