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.

is formulated to have minimal or no effect on setting time.  is formulated for concrete mix designs where a normal or mildly delayed set is desired. /is designed for warmer climates and projects where a slower hydration rate is typically required. and 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.
