SHIELD Technologies for Concrete
Infrastructure Protection with SHIELD Crystalline Technologies for Resilient Concrete
Self-healing systems are transforming infrastructure by embedding resilience and self-repair capabilities into concrete. Roads, bridges, tunnels, and embankments often require costly repairs, causing financial and societal disruptions. Supershield’s advanced materials eliminate these challenges by enabling concrete to sense damage, repair cracks, and restore integrity autonomously. By integrating self-healing properties, our smart materials enhance durability, safety, and service life while significantly reducing maintenance costs. As the backbone of modern construction, concrete can now evolve over time, addressing durability concerns and redefining infrastructure maintenance.
Crystalline Formations
Untreated concrete is naturally porous, making it highly vulnerable to water penetration and deterioration over time.
The active ingredients in Supershield penetrate the capillaries, forming insoluble, needle-like crystalline structures that seal the pores and enhance concrete durability.
If new cracks form due to settling or shrinkage, the presence of water reactivates the crystallization process, leading to the growth of additional crystals that seal the cracks.

DPC Crystalline Technology ®
Our Deep Penetrating Capillary (DPC) Crystalline Technology creates permanent, waterproof barriers within concrete, enhancing durability and extending the life of concrete structures. This technology enhances the approach to concrete protection by working within the concrete rather than on its surface.
DPC Crystalline Technology takes advantage of concrete’s nature to create an integral reaction that permanently waterproofs and protects the concrete by sealing its pores and capillaries with non-soluble crystalline formations.
Dynamic Multifunctional Crystalline (DMC) Technology ®
Dynamic Multifunctional Crystalline Technology ensures that concrete is resilient from day one and built to withstand environmental challenges. It manages water and thermal energy during casting, regulates temperature, vapor, and moisture in hardened concrete, and makes concrete impermeable for long-term protection.
DMC technology improves durability, sustainability, and longevity, making concrete stronger and more resilient in any environment.
Multiseal Crystalline Technology ®
Multiseal Crystalline Technology waterproofs and protects concrete infrastructure by enhancing sustainability through self-healing, multifunctional, SHIELD crystals and a hydrophobic barrier, making it ideal for both above-ground and below-ground structures.
Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern infrastructure, Multiseal Technology ensures that concrete structures remain resilient, watertight, and contribute to sustainable construction, even in aggressive and extreme climatic conditions.
