Supershield CRYSTALGUARD ULTIMA
Self-healing Cementitious Crystalline Waterproofing and Coating with Enhanced Performance
SUPERSHIELD CRYSTALGUARD ULTIMA is a highly concentrated and specially formulated crystalline waterproofing coating for concrete. It provides a hard top finish and blocks moisture transmission in concrete very quickly by crystallizing. It is mixed with water and applied as a slurry coat to the positive or negative side of the concrete, either by itself as a single-coat application or as the top coat of a two-coat application with Crystalguard. When Crystalguard and CRYSTALGUARD ULTIMA are combined in a single system, both products complement each other by providing a high degree of protection and durability.
CRYSTALGUARD ULTIMA waterproofs concrete by penetrating deep into the concrete and chemically reacting with the by-products of cement hydration creating non-soluble, highly resistant, needle-like crystalline structures. 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. 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. However, the CRYSTALGUARD ULTIMA layer will still allow the passage of water vapor through the structure, allowing the concrete to breathe. CRYSTALGUARD ULTIMA is approved for use in contact with potable water
