PoreShield Bridge Concrete Sealant
PoreShield is ideal for bridge construction, major highway projects and other largescale roadway infrastructure applications. Unlike any other existing method, it protects concrete from the inside out with a flexible, hydrophobic barrier that is absorbed deep into the pores. With preventive and self-healing properties, this barrier stops any existing damage and deterioration from getting worse. This barrier makes PoreShield a durable solution available to protect concrete against water, salt and freeze/thaw damage. In fact, it is proven to significantly reduce diffusion of chloride ions, which are commonly found in deicers, the number one culprit of concrete damage.
In addition to high performance, PoreShield is a sustainable and cost-effective.
