Waterproofing Solution

Zydex® is deeply committed to becoming an organization to develop sustainable and eco-friendly chemical technologies for all our divisions. Our products are marketed in all the continents around the World. We are a hi-tech research driven company striving for SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH INNOVATION.
ZYCOSIL a product of Zydex® , is a patented nanotechnology based cost economical product range for waterproofing of Concrete, Stones, Bricks and all siliceous substrates on any structure that could be of Residential / Commercial / Industrial / Public Utility nature.

The highlighted benefits of ZYCOSIL+ applications realized are as below

Zycosil + can eliminate Paint or save paint cost & no peel off –chemical bonding

  1. Can be directly applied on bare surfaces like concrete/exposed brick/stone etc. (Natural look, extremely cost saving)
  2. Can be directly applied on Plaster. (Elegant look, cost saving)
  3. Can be applied directly on white cement & eliminate paint. (for White background, cost saving)
  4. Can be applied directly over cement paint surface. (for Colour background, cost saving)
  5. Can be used as a Primer before any type of paint and can ease the paint application & also reduce the paint consumption (Cost neutral)

Value Addition

  1. Extends life of building & structures
  2. Saves Paint Costy
  3. Increases safety (No slippage due to Algae on concrete floors/No current seepage from wet concrete electric polls/No electric shock due to current seepage in moist walls especially in monsoon)
  4. Eliminates corrosion of Rebar
  5. Waterproofs
  6. Reduces crack formation on building & structures
  7. Stops accelerated aging of the building & structures
  8. Fungal proofs
  9. Reduces dust accumulation
  10. Reduces efflorescence

ZYCOSIL+ supporting products

1. Zycoprime (Acrylic Bonding Agent)

Description

Zycoprime plus forms a water resistant cementitious bonding coat and reduces porosity of the structure. It acts as an excellent bonding agent for improving adhesion of concrete /Plaster/ Paints, on Zycosil Conc treated surfaces.

XYPEX

Xypex Company

Xypex "Concrete Waterproofing by Crystallization", a chemistry designed to work within the concrete itself instead of simply on its surface. The Xypex family of products evolved around varied applications of this unique technology and its ability to solve the problem in situations where traditional barrier system weak or ineffective. It was a technology that made a very real difference to the integrity of concrete structures.

Xypex Crystalline Technology

Basic to the development of Xypex Crystalline Technology was a thorough understanding of concrete's chemical and physical makeup. Concrete is porous, Its tunnel like capilaries are a natural part of its mass, and permit the passage of water and other liquids. Researchers at Xypex recognized the opportunity for a chemical treatment that would fill these capillaries to prevent the penetration of water and other liquids from any direction. By means of diffusion, the reactive chemicals in Xypec products use water as a migrating medium to enter and travel down the capillaries of the concrete. This process precipitates a chemical reaction between Xypex, moisture and the by-products of cement hydration, forming a new non-soluble crystalline structure. This integral structure fills the capillary tracts rendering the concrete waterproof.

The diversity of use of the Xypex family of products is significant. Around the world, it’s a long, exciting and constantly evolving list.
