AquaShield™ is a premium concrete waterproofing admixture engineered to reduce permeability, enhance durability, and protect against moisture intrusion. Designed for both new construction and repair applications, AquaShield™ provides effective internal protection that extends the service life of concrete structures exposed to severe weather or water conditions.
AquaShield™ integrates waterproofing directly into the mix design so teams can place concrete and build in moisture protection in a single step. This approach removes the need for separate membranes on many below-grade elements, which supports productivity in tight schedules and complex sites. The result is a concrete system designed to match the service life of the structure, with fewer interfaces and fewer trades required during critical foundation phases.
Reduces cracking and scaling caused by water infiltration and freeze-thaw cycles.
Added directly to the concrete mix, with no additional surface treatment required.
Compatible with a wide range of mix designs and suitable for foundations, retaining walls, parking decks, and other high-exposure structures.
AquaShield™ incorporates waterproofing chemicals inside the concrete, so protection develops throughout the slab as crystals form and fill internal pathways, rather than relying on an external barrier alone.
When new cracks form and water enters, the reactive chemicals in AquaShield™ respond again, generating additional crystals that help seal these new pathways and maintain water resistance.
AquaShield™ is recommended for elements that will be subject to water pressure and is suitable for both cast-in-place and shotcrete construction where moisture management is critical.
AquaShield™ can reduce reliance on separate membranes in many conditions, but designers should evaluate project risk, detailing, and local codes to determine whether additional systems are appropriate.
