DMC Technology

Dynamic Multifunctional Crystalline (DMC) Technology

Our Dynamic Multifunctional Crystalline Technology transforms concrete performance by embedding advanced multifunctional,SHIELD® crystals directly into the concrete matrix. This innovative technology is designed to enhance concrete resilience in challenging and changing environments from the casting stage of the concrete to its life cycle by effectively managing thermal energy and water in all its forms—liquid, vapor, and ice.

Functional Principle

When added to the concrete mix, DMC Technology activates multifunctional SHIELD Crystals, enhancing performance at every stage of the concrete lifecycle. During casting and initial curing stage, these crystals seal pores and capillaries, creating a dense, impermeable structure. SHIELD Crystals ensure optimal hydration by regulating moisture availability and distribution, preventing water loss in hot climates and freezing in cold conditions. Additionally, the technology balances heat generation from hydration, effectively reducing thermal stress and preventing shrinkage cracks, ensuring long-term durability and structural integrity.

DMC Crystalline Diagram

As the concrete hardens, Dynamic SHIELD Crystals continue to grow, forming crystalline structures within the concrete matrix that block water ingress and resist chemical attacks. These crystals dynamically respond to phase changes within the concrete caused by environmental conditions, managing moisture, vapor, and temperature. This process regulates internal humidity, prevents moisture buildup, allows concrete to breathe, reduces thermal stress, prevents thermal cracks, and enables the self-healing of microcracks when exposed to water or moisture.

With its advanced capabilities, DMC Technology ensures exceptional durability, superior waterproofing, and a longer service life of concrete, supporting sustainable construction. By reducing permeability, preventing deterioration, enabling self-healing and dynamically responding to the changes in the environment, this technology lowers maintenance needs and material consumption while enhancing resilience against both internal and external challenges, as well as climate-induced challenges such as extreme heat, flooding, and freeze-thaw cycles.
