Sustainability with SHIELD Crystalline Technologies for resilient and eco-friendly concrete

Drybox System

Supershield Drybox System meets below-ground structure needs

Supershield's DRYBOX system ensures that the structure is completely waterproofed. It makes the concrete structure impermeable to water not only through the concrete matrix but also through the joints, installation parts, service penetrations, cracks, and other defects within the concrete.

The DRYBOX System has a full range of Supershield Crystalline Waterproofing Admixtures, which waterproof the whole concrete mass right from the start. It also has a complete spectrum of products designed for construction joints, penetrations, and crack limits, such as hydrophilic sealants and profiles, waterstops in different material qualities, and sealing tapes, depending on the type and location of the joint and its requirements.


Key Advantages


  • Time is saved during the design and construction stages because complex detailing and installation are no longer required.

  • The compatibility of multiple products used in the construction of waterproof concrete is ensured.

  • In comparison to other systems, it is less expensive.

  • The total amount of material used on the job site is decreased.

  • Work is completed faster and with less environmental impact while maintaining the durability goal.

Supershield Drybox System in action

1. WATERTIGHT CONCRETE

Supershield’s DRYBOX System achieves waterproof concrete with Supershield’s Crystalline Waterproofing Admixtures, which take advantage of concrete’s nature to create an integral reaction that permanently waterproofs and protects the concrete by sealing its pores and capillaries with a non-soluble, highly resistant needle-like crystalline structure that becomes an integral part of the concrete, making it highly durable and impermeable to moisture and other liquids from any direction, even under extreme hydrostatic pressure, and protecting concrete from various harsh environmental conditions that it is subjected to.

This crystalline structure occurs where moisture is present, so at any later stage, if cracks form due to settling or shrinkage, the incoming water triggers the crystallization process and additional crystals begin to grow, and it has the ability to self-heal cracks.
