Bio-San
Xypex Bio-San 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 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 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.
Xypex Admixtures now contain the latest in Xypex innovation, the Visual Detection System (VDS). It is designed to confirm the presence of Xypex Crystalline Waterproofing Admixture in hardened concrete. To learn more about VDS, click here: VDS
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 - Contains Visual Detection System
