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
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.

DPC Crystalline Technology
Adaptive Crystalline Technology
Multiseal Crystalline Technology
Core Mechanism
- Moisture-activated crystalline reaction forming insoluble crystals within pores and capillaries to block water pathways and seal microcracks
- Actively manages water and thermal energy during casting and continues to regulate temperature, vapour, and moisture in hardened concrete to respond to extreme and fluctuating environmental conditions.
- Integrates Adaptive Crystalline Technology with an embedded hydrophobic barrier mechanism to enhance control of water transport within the concrete matrix.
Functional Performance
- 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, integrating self-healing crystalline regulation with enhanced hydration-stage performance and sustained control of internal moisture and thermal stresses
- Integrated self-healing crystalline performance combined with enhanced control of permeability, capillary absorption, and wet–dry cyclic exposure in aggressive environments.
Application Environment
Foundations, basements, water-retaining structures, and general concrete requiring permanent internal protection.
Mass concrete pours and infrastructure exposed to temperature extremes, moisture variability, and changing climatic conditions.
Bridges, flyovers, coastal and marine structures, roads, and infrastructure subjected to repeated wet–dry cycles and aggressive exposure conditions.
