In everyday life, concrete structures will certainly face rain, whereas rain in urban areas is rain that contains chemical substances such as water vapor, nitric acid, carbon, sulfuric acid, and salt. The effect that arises if the concrete is always exposed to acid rain is the reinforcement in the concrete that becomes rusty (corrosion) because the concrete will absorb acid rainwater for a certain time and cause the compressive strength of the concrete to decrease. This study aims to determine the effect of the use of crystalline technology in Xypex C-1000 added material to be used in concrete on the value of compressive strength, permeability, and resistance to sulfuric acid. In this research, the variation of concrete will be divided into normal concrete, 1.2% Xypex C-1000 concrete, and 0.6% Xypex C-1000 concrete. The highest compressive strength value with a concrete age of 28 days was found in the concrete variation with 1.2% Xypex C-1000 and the highest average compressive strength of concrete after soaking in 5% sulfuric acid was found in the concrete variation with 1.2% Xypex C-1000. It can be concluded that the use of Xypex C-1000 additives can increase the value of compressive strength, permeability, and resistance to sulfuric acid.
