Multiseal Crystalline Technology waterproofs and protects concrete infrastructure by integrating multifunctional, SHIELD crystals and a hydrophobic barrier, enhancing sustainability and durability. It is ideal for both above-ground and below-ground structures, ensuring they remain resilient, watertight, and environmentally friendly.
Multiseal provides permanent waterproofing and robust protection against a wide range of internal and external challenges , including chemical attacks, freeze-thaw cycles, chloride ion penetration, carbonation, alkali-silica reactions (ASR), and temperature-associated problems. It significantly enhances concrete resilience by addressing permeability, temperature, and moisture-related challenges. The key advantage of Multiseal is its ability to self-heal cracks and prevent moisture infiltration, even from the negative side.
The protective capabilities of Multiseal come from a combination of permeability-resistant, hydrophobic, icephobic, and thermal management properties, enabled by molecular repellence and multifunctional SHIELD Crystals. Multiseal dynamically adapts to environmental changes, ensuring long-lasting durability in extreme climates and coastal regions, especially in structures that are exposed to wet and dry cycles, like roads, flyovers, bridges, and other similar infrastructure.

When applied to concrete surfaces, Multiseal, a low-viscosity compound, initiates simultaneous chemical reactions. These reactions accelerate as active chemical compounds concentrate due to evaporation, forming a repellent layer both on the surface and within the penetrated depth of the concrete. Additionally, SHIELD crystals further enhance its effectiveness by blocking water and moisture permeability while also regulating temperature, vapor, and humidity, ensuring long-term durability, longevity, and resilience.
As Multiseal dries on the concrete surface, it reacts with atmospheric carbon dioxide, forming an invisible protective film on both the surface and inner walls of concrete pores. This hydrophobic barrier significantly reduces moisture penetration by enhancing the surface tension of water and other liquids, including jet fuel and oils.
Beneath the surface, Multiseal initiates the formation of SHIELD Crystals, penetrating deep into the concrete matrix. These insoluble and stable crystals are formed through chemical reactions with calcium hydroxide and other cementitious byproducts, creating a permanent barrier that blocks water and external contaminants, significantly enhancing durability and waterproofing performance.
Beyond the initial SHIELD Crystal formation, Multifunctional Dynamic Shield Crystals are formed that provide enhanced resistance by regulating temperature, vapor, and humidity. This process:
Balances internal humidity, allowing the concrete to breathe and preventing moisture buildup.Reduces thermal stress and prevents thermal cracks, ensuring structural stability.Supports self-healing, as Dynamic SHIELD Crystals grow to seal micro-cracks upon exposure to water or moisture.These SHIELD Crystals penetrate deep inside the concrete through osmosis movement. The reaction continues until the Multiseal system chemicals are depleted or moisture is unavailable. If water re-enters the concrete, the system reactivates, ensuring continuous protection and extended service life. Multiseal technology ensures concrete structures remain watertight, durable, and resilient, reducing maintenance needs, material consumption, and environmental impact, making it an ideal solution for sustainable infrastructure.
When added to the concrete mix, Multiseal Crystalline Technology initiates a multi-action process, combining the benefits of self-healing multifunctional SHIELD crystals and a hydrophobic barrier system, enhancing performance at every stage of the concrete lifecycle.
During casting and initial curing, these crystals seal pores and capillaries, creating a dense, impermeable structure, while the hydrophobic molecular barrier forms within the matrix, repelling water and reducing moisture infiltration, even in challenging wet-dry cycles. Dynamic SHIELD Crystals ensure optimal hydration by regulating moisture availability and distribution, preventing water loss in hot climates and freezing in cold conditions. Additionally, Multiseal balances heat generation effectively reducing thermal stress, preventing shrinkage cracks, and ensuring long-term durability and structural integrity.
As the concrete hardens, Dynamic SHIELD Crystals continue to grow, forming crystalline structures within the matrix that block water ingress and resist chemical attacks. These crystals dynamically respond to environmental phase changes, managing moisture, vapor, and temperature. This process:
This combined mechanism of Multifunctional SHIELD Crystals and hydrophobic barrier ensures that the concrete remains impermeable, durable, and resilient against environmental fluctuations. By dynamically adapting to moisture and temperature variations, it effectively prevents deterioration and enhances the structural integrity of concrete over time. When used as an admixture, Multiseal Technology provides enhanced durability, reduced maintenance, and long-term protection, making it an ideal solution for sustainable mega-infrastructure projects exposed to wet-dry cycles and aggressive environments. It is suitable for both above-ground and below-ground applications.
