Program

Crystalline admixtures and coatings extend concrete’s performance and service life, offering waterproofing and protection with proven results and easy application. Xypex’s Bio-San C500 combines crystalline technology with a powerful bio-active antimicrobial, targeting concrete structures affected by microbial-induced corrosion due to high hydrogen sulfide levels. This combination enhances concrete’s service life. For deteriorated structures, Megamix II with Bio-San is available.

Learning Objectives

• Understand how Xypex’s antimicrobial crystalline technology kills the microbes that cause concrete corrosion in sewage environments.
• Examine how Bio-San C500 protects concrete in high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide.
• Explain how Bio-San C500 prevents the infiltration and exfiltration of liquids even under extreme hydrostatic pressure.
• Describe how Bio-San protects concrete in acidic and sulfate environments.
• Understand how self-healing of cracks can occur.
