Xypex Waterproofing is a revolutionary concrete waterproofing admixture that transforms ordinary concrete into a permanent water barrier through advanced crystalline technology. When mixed directly into fresh concrete, this powerful admixture creates millions of microscopic crystals that grow deep within the concrete matrix, blocking water pathways and creating an impermeable structure. Unlike surface-applied membranes that can degrade, peel, or get damaged during backfilling, Xypex becomes a permanent part of your concrete, providing lifetime protection. This makes it the ideal solution for Kenyan construction projects including residential basements, commercial foundations, water tanks, swimming pools, retaining walls, tunnels, and any below-grade structures exposed to groundwater or moisture.
For contractors and property owners across Kenya facing challenges with waterproofing in areas with high rainfall or high water tables—from Nairobi to Mombasa’s coastal region—Xypex Waterproofing offers unmatched reliability and peace of mind. The product’s unique self-healing properties mean that even if minor cracks develop over time due to settling or seismic activity, the crystalline technology automatically activates in the presence of water to seal these gaps. This concrete waterproofing admixture eliminates the ongoing maintenance costs associated with traditional waterproofing methods and ensures your structure remains dry and protected for decades. Simply add Xypex to your concrete mix at the batching plant or on-site, and you’ll create a waterproof structure from the inside out—no additional labor, no waiting for membranes to cure, and no risk of application errors.
