Bio-San C500 - A Unique Way Of Protecting Concrete In Sewage Conditions

September 21, 2022

Xypex Bio-San C500 is a uniquely designed admixture for integral, long-term protection of concrete in harsh sewage conditions with levels of H2S that cause microbial induced corrosion (MIC). Bio-San C500 combines potent antimicrobial protection along with the unique crystalline technology of the Xypex Admix C-Series.

Bio-San contains bio-active mineral solids that become permanently fixed within the cement matrix impairing bio-film formation thus inhibiting the growth of acid causing sewer bacteria such as Thiobacillus due to concentrations of H2S. The unique Xypex Crystalline Technology creates a permanent structure throughout the pores and capillary tracts providing waterproofing and enhanced chemical protection including acid and sulphate resistance. Bio-San C500 prevents microbial induced corrosion, stops infiltration/exfiltration of water, and provides acid and sulphate resistance, significantly extending the service life of concrete sewage collection systems and waste water infrastructure.

Recommended for:

Manholes / Sewer Pipes
Pump and Lift Stations
Head Works
Septic Tanks
Digesters
Clarifiers
Industrial Structures

Advantages

Inhibits microbial induced corrosion
Resists extreme hydrostatic pressure
Resistant to aggressive chemicals (acids and sulphates)
Can seal static hairline cracks up to 0.5 mm
Becomes a permanent, integral part of the substrate and cannot be punctured, damaged or lose adhesion
Does not contain any VOCs
Less costly to apply than most other methods
Added to the concrete at the time of batching and therefore not subject to weather and surface moisture constraints
