How It Works: Two Application Modes — One Proven System
DURASHIELD is built on a modular coating platform that includes two distinct application modes — each tailored to specific surfaces, stress conditions, and project types. Both are based on the same geopolymer technology and meet the highest performance and environmental standards.
- LPA — Low-Pressure ApplicationLayer thickness: 3–5 mm
Recommended for: horizontal surfaces (industrial floors, basements, agricultural zones, water treatment facilities)
Key features:- Poured or spray-applied using low-pressure equipment
- Tolerates heavy mechanical loads and foot traffic
- Ideal for surfaces exposed to chemical or biological contamination (acids, ammonia, organic residues)
- Offers excellent pressure sealing and long-term waterproofing
- Tested for use in livestock hygiene, food industry, and wastewater systems
- HPA — High-Pressure ApplicationLayer thickness: 0.2–1.5 mm
Recommended for: vertical and overhead surfaces (walls, tunnels, facades, tanks, ship hulls)
Key features:- Applied using high-pressure spray systems or trowels
- Ensures strong adhesion to concrete, steel, and EPS
- Provides high-performance protection against carbonation and corrosion
- Lightweight and thin, suitable for retrofitting or structural overlays
- Used in fireproofing, facade renewal, and transportation infrastructure

Materials That Match the Vision
Smart infrastructure begins not with ambition, but with the materials that hold it together.
In a smart city, infrastructure isn’t just functional — it must be resilient, efficient, and designed to last.
DURASHIELD contributes to this principle by offering mineral-based coatings that extend the service life of critical surfaces while minimizing environmental impact.
Built on a decade of applied research, DURASHIELD replaces conventional coating systems with a technology that is durable, fire-safe, and free from harmful components.
Whether protecting transport infrastructure, public utilities, or hybrid building systems, it becomes a material layer of trust in long-term urban planning.
Our mission is to provide advanced protective solutions for structures and systems that can’t afford failure.
Our vision is a city where durability and environmental responsibility are embedded into every layer of construction — starting with the surface.
