Supershield CRYSTALSPRAY

Liquid Crystalline Waterproofing Coating for Concrete

SUPERSHIELD CRYSTALSPRAY is a single-compound, water-based, crystalline waterproofing coating used by itself or in combination with Supershield Crystalguard Ultima for a high degree of chemical resistance. CRYSTALSPRAY is applied using simple low-pressure sprayers. SUPERSHIELD CRYSTALSPRAY can be used as a crystalline enhancer in the Supershield Multiseal H System with Supershield Multiseal for substrates that need more resistance to high hydrostatic pressure. SUPERSHIELD CRYSTALSPRAY can also be top-coated with Supershield Clearseal to provide a repellent barrier.

SUPERSHIELD CRYSTALSPRAY, when spray applied, would take advantage of its low viscosity and seep into the pores and capillaries of the concrete by capillary action, and the active components in the product would move further deep into the concrete using the moisture presence and the pressure of osmosis. Once the active components are made available for the byproducts of the cement inside the concrete matrix, they form non-soluble crystals. These crystals block the capillaries and minor shrinkage cracks in the concrete to prevent any further water ingress (even under pressure). However, the SUPERSHIELD CRYSTALSPRAY will still allow the passage of water vapor through the structure (i.e., the concrete will still be able to “breathe”). In addition to waterproofing the structure, SUPERSHIELD CRYSTALSPRAY protects concrete against seawater, wastewater, aggressive groundwater, and certain chemical solutions. SUPERSHIELD CRYSTALSPRAY is approved for use in contact with potable water and is therefore suitable for the treatment of water storage tanks, reservoirs, water towers, etc
