SHIELD Crystalline Technologies
At a Glance
Supershield offers three advanced self-healing crystalline technologies under its SHIELD platform. Each is uniquely engineered to waterproof, protect, and enhance concrete resilience for varying environmental and structural demands.
Technology Comparison
DPC Crystalline Technology
Integral Waterproofing
and Long-Term Concrete Protection
Core Mechanism
- • Moisture-activated crystalline reaction forming insoluble crystals within pores and capillaries to block water pathways and seal microcracks
Functional Performance
- • Integral internal waterproofing with mois ture-triggered self-healing of microcracks and long-term permeability reduction.
Application Environment
Foundations, basements, water-retaining structures, and general concrete requiring permanent internal protection.

Integrated Protection for
Wet–Dry Cycles and Aggressive Exposure
- Moisture-activated crystalline reaction forming insoluble crystals within pores and capillaries to block water pathways and seal microcracks
- Activated from the moment of casting and continuing throughout the structure's service life, the system initiates Concurrent Matrix Dynamics, where progressive SHIELD crystalline formation within pores and capillaries occurs alongside proprietary ThermoHydric matrix regulation, operating simultaneously within the concrete matrix.
- Integrates Adaptive Crystalline Technology with hydrophobic protection, where permeability-resistant mechanisms address the three primary water transport mechanisms within concrete: permeability, capillary absorption, and diffusion from casting throughout the structure's service life.
- Integral internal waterproofing with mois ture-triggered self-healing of microcracks and long-term permeability reduction.
- Proactive durability management that mitigates crack development before deterioration begins, supporting balanced hydration, sustained crystalline pore refinement, and hygrothermal stability from casting through the structure's service life to enhance resistance to permeability, environmental exposure, and internal stress while enabling long-term self-healing capability.
- Stabilizes internal matrix equilibrium under varying climatic and exposure conditions, enabling the self-healing of microcracks while limiting crack initiation and restricting permeability pathways to deliver resilient, watertight, and durable long-term performance in above-and below-ground concrete structures.
