Pioneering Innovation in Concrete Protection

Innovation History – A Legacy of Advancing Concrete Protection

Supershield is dedicated to pioneering advancements in concrete infrastructure protection. Through a research-driven approach, we have developed cutting-edge self-healing technologies that enhance durability, resilience, and sustainability, ensuring concrete structures remain long-lasting and climate-change ready, even in the most extreme environmental conditions.

Timeline of Innovations

Panelstop

Waterstops with Swellable Lining

Supershield develops Panelstop, a unique range of waterstops specifically designed for concrete structures requiring high levels of chemical resistance. Their galvanised steel construction, special coating, and unique swellable lining technology allow the waterstop to expand upon contact with moisture, effectively sealing joints in the concrete structure.

MULTISEAL ADMIXPLUS

Self-Healing Adaptive Crystalline and Hydrophobic Waterproofing Admixture for Concrete

A next-generation liquid admixture that integrates SHIELD Adaptive Crystals with a hydrophobic molecular pore-lining system to provide integral waterproofing and enhanced durability. Engineered to perform from the casting stage and throughout the entire service life of concrete, it delivers proactive moisture control, permeability resistance, and long-term structural resilience under demanding environmental conditions.

Ecopath

Polymer-Engineered Soil Roads

Supershield develops Ecopath, a sustainable and eco-friendly solution to create stable, durable, and erosion-resistant soil roads. The key feature of Ecopath lies in its ability to penetrate deep into the soil, bond with the existing particles, and create a robust matrix.

DPC Admixplus

Liquid Crystalline Concrete Waterproofing Admixture

Supershield developed Admixplus, a new-generation water-based, self-healing liquid crystalline admixture for waterproofing concrete. Supershield Admixplus enhances concrete durability and performance while prioritising environmental sustainability.

Multiguard

Self-Healing Cementitious Crystalline Waterproofing and Protective Coating for Concrete

Developed as a flagship solution based on Supershield’s Multiseal Technology, Multiguard is a high-performance cementitious waterproofing and protective coating for concrete. It delivers surface repellence while forming active crystalline structures deep within the concrete matrix, enhancing durability, permeability resistance, and long-term structural protection.

Multiseal Crystalline Technology

Integrated Protection for Wet–Dry Cycles and Aggressive Exposure

Multiseal Crystalline Technology is engineered for concrete structures subjected to repeated wet–dry cycles and aggressive exposure environments. By integrating Adaptive Crystalline Technology with an additional hydrophobic barrier mechanism, Multiseal ensures long-term durability and keeps concrete resilient, watertight, and sustainable, even under aggressive and extreme climatic conditions.

CRYSTALSPRAY

Liquid Crystalline Waterproofing Coating

As part of its ongoing efforts to develop and broaden its self-healing concrete protection range, Supershield introduced Crystalspray, a liquid crystalline waterproofing coating. It's eco-friendly and easy to use.

ADAPTIVE CRYSTALLINE TECHNOLOGY

Proactive Durability for Extreme and Changing Environments

Adaptive Crystalline Technology advances beyond reactive waterproofing by addressing environmental and climatic challenges from the casting stage. It actively manages water and thermal energy during hydration and continues to regulate temperature, vapour, and internal moisture within hardened concrete, ensuring sustained performance under temperature extremes, moisture variability, and fluctuating exposure conditions throughout the structure’s service life.

Slipstop

Anti-Slip Treatment for Natural and Artificial Stones

Supershield developed a unique high-performance anti-slip treatment for both natural and artificial stones that reduces the risk of slipping without altering the aesthetic appeal of the floors.

Thermokote

Thermal Insulation and Protective Coatings

Supershield developed THERMOKOTE, an innovative product designed as an all-in-one solution that effectively insulated roofs and walls while also serving as an exceptional thermal barrier and waterproofing system.

DPC Crystalline Technology

Self healing Admixtures, Coatings and Mortars for Concrete

The journey began with the realization of the need for durable and long-lasting waterproofing solutions for concrete structures. Supershield developed self-healing admixtures, coatings, and mortars based on Crystalline Technology that waterproof and protect concrete structures.
