Supershield CRYSTALGUARD

Self-healing Cementitious Crystalline Waterproofing Coating

SUPERSHIELD CRYSTALGUARD is a single-compound self-healing cementitious crystalline waterproofing coating that is mixed with water and applied as a slurry coat to the positive or negative side of the concrete to waterproof and protect it. It is either applied as a two-coat application or as the first coat of a two-coat application. SUPERSHIELD CRYSTALGUARD waterproofs concrete by penetrating deep into the concrete and chemically reacting with the by-products of cement hydration creating a non-soluble, highly resistant, needle-like crystalline structure. This makes the concrete highly durable and impermeable to water and other liquids from any direction, even under extreme hydrostatic pressure. It also protects the concrete from the various harsh environmental conditions that it is exposed to. The 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. However, the SUPERSHIELD CRYSTALGUARD layer will still allow the passage of water vapor through the structure, allowing the concrete to breathe.

Applications

Basements, Concrete Water Tanks, Tunnels, Subway Systems, Roof Slab, Sewage and Water Treatment Plants, Reservoirs, Sunken Portion, Foundations, Elevator pits, Ground parking structures, Bridges, Dams and Viaducts .
