Adaptive Crystalline Technology® With ThermoHydric® Regulation
Proactive durability engineered at casting to lease life to concrete.
Concrete durability is fundamentally a casting-stage decision, not something corrected after deterioration begins. Standard crystalline and self-healing systems act only after damage has initiated, making them inherently reactive and limited.
Supershield’s Adaptive Crystalline Technology® takes a fundamentally different approach. Active from the moment of casting, it controls the concrete matrix's internal development by refining pore structure, limiting permeability pathways, and enabling long-term self-healing.
At its core is Concurrent Matrix Dynamics®, where two complementary mechanisms operate simultaneously within the concrete:
- SHIELD® Crystalline Formation
Progressively grows within pores and capillaries, sealing permeability pathways and densifying the matrix. - ThermoHydric® Regulation
Does not grow or crystallize but stabilizes internal hygrothermal conditions during hydration and early-age development, reducing stress-driven defects.
Together, these mechanisms act before deterioration begins, engineering durability into the concrete from its earliest stage.
Concrete isn’t just protected—it is engineered to be climate-resilient and durable by design, not by repair.
EXCLUSIVE TO SUPERSHIELDThermoHydric®REGULATION
ThermoHydric® Regulation controls the internal hygrothermal behaviour of concrete from casting through its entire service life starting at the hydration and early-age development stage where most durability risks originate. During hydration, it regulates the interaction between moisture and temperature within the matrix, moderating hydration heat, reducing thermal gradients, and limiting internal stress development before microcracking occurs.
Throughout the structure’s lifecycle, under evolving environmental and structural conditions, ThermoHydric® Regulation continuously maintains hygrothermal stability within the concrete matrix. This stability is vital for resilience and long-term durability, ensuring the concrete remains structurally sound and resistant to deterioration.
ThermoHydric® Regulation acts proactively, addressing the core interconnected drivers of concrete deterioration through a single integrated mechanism—an approach that standard crystalline technologies lack.

Concurrent Matrix Dynamics® describes the simultaneous operation of SHIELD® crystalline formation and ThermoHydric® Regulators within the concrete matrix from the moment of casting.
Together, they control both microstructural development and internal hygrothermal stability, ensuring durability is engineered at the matrix level.
ENGINEERING BREAKTHROUGH
A Breakthrough in Concrete Durability
Integrating crystalline processes with ThermoHydric® Regulation required resolving complex interactions between hydration, temperature, and moisture within the concrete matrix. This advancement enables simultaneous control of multiple deterioration mechanisms—delivering a new level of durability performance beyond standard crystalline technologies.
TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION
Built on a New Scientific Foundation
This innovation forms the scientific foundation of both Adaptive Crystalline Technology® and Multiseal Crystalline Technology, integrating ThermoHydric® Regulation to deliver proactive durability from casting through the entire service life of the structure.
INDEPENDENTLY VALIDATED
Independently Validated Performance
Independent testing and university studies confirm the system's effectiveness, demonstrating crystalline growth within pores and capillaries, enhanced microstructural densification, reduced permeability pathways, and measurable self-healing performance under varied exposure conditions.
Three Powerful Technologies.
One Purpose : Make Concrete Last a Lifetime
Supershield offers three advanced self healing crystalline technologies under its SHIELD® (Self Healing Innovations for Enhanced Longevity and Durability) framework, delivering a proactive durability approach for concrete structures. Each technology is engineered to waterproof, protect, and enhance resilience under diverse environmental and structural conditions.
Integral Waterproofing and Long-Term Concrete Protection
DPC Crystalline Technology
Deep Penetrating Capillary (DPC) Crystalline Technology creates permanent, self-healing waterproof barriers within concrete. By sealing pores and capillaries with non-soluble crystalline structures, it ensures long-term durability and protection against water ingress and environmental damage, enhancing the resilience and lifespan of concrete structures.

Proactive Durability for Extreme and Changing Environments
Adaptive Crystalline Technology®
Adaptive Crystalline Technology enhances concrete resilience from the casting stage through its entire lifecycle by enabling sustained crystalline activation and ThermoHydric® regulation within the concrete matrix. It supports controlled hydration and reduces stress formation while maintaining hygrothermal stability during internal transitions induced by environmental exposure throughout the structure’s service life.

Integrated Protection for Wet–Dry Cycles and Aggressive Exposure
Multiseal Crystalline Technology
Multiseal Crystalline Technology integrates Adaptive Crystalline Technology with hydrophobic protection, making it ideal for both above-ground and below-ground structures. Designed for modern infrastructure, Multiseal Technology keeps concrete resilient, watertight, and durable even in aggressive environments and extreme climatic conditions.

The Evolution of Weiße Wanne | Vasca Bianca | White Tank
DRYBOX advances traditional White Tank construction by integrating SHIELD Adaptive Crystalline Technology directly within the concrete system. While conventional systems rely primarily on crack width control and dense concrete design, and generic crystalline technologies react only after microcracks or water pathways develop, DRYBOX shifts durability from a reactive strategy to a proactive performance model.
Proactive from the moment of casting, SHIELD Adaptive Crystalline Technology engineered into the system enables sustained crystalline activation and proprietary ThermoHydric regulation within the concrete, supporting controlled hydration and reducing stress development. It maintains hygrothermal stability during internal transitions induced by environmental exposure throughout the structure’s service life, strengthening resistance to carbonation, chloride ingress, and freeze thaw action under defined durability classifications.
