Technology
A coating system is only as good as its bond. TruComposite™ technology chemically bonds every layer to the concrete and to each other, creating a composite that cannot delaminate, peel, or flake under service conditions.
Concrete is a porous and chemically unstable surface. It constantly exchanges moisture with its environment and reacts with a wide range of chemicals. Traditional coatings such as epoxies, urethanes, and paints attempt to manage this by placing a barrier layer on top of the concrete. These coatings are organic plastics. They cannot chemically react with concrete, so they rely on mechanical adhesion to the surface texture to stay in place.
That adhesion is fragile. UV sunlight degrades the organic binders. Trapped moisture in the slab builds vapor pressure beneath the film and forces it off. When carbonation, biological growth, and corrosion take hold in the damp zone beneath, the concrete surface spalls and the coating cracks and peels away.
The solution is not a stronger adhesive. It is a fundamentally different approach to how a coating bonds with concrete.
Key advantages
CeramycGuard™ reacts with the concrete substrate to form an inorganic ceramic layer. Every subsequent coat cross-links with this base, so there is no adhesive interface to fail and no film to lift.
Traditional coatings trap water vapor and peel. The TruComposite™ inorganic base coat is impervious to vapor pressure, so subsurface moisture movement does not cause delamination.
CeramycGuard™ transforms the surface into a chemically bonded geopolymer composite that is denser and harder than the concrete beneath it, providing lasting physical protection.
Inorganic ceramics provide the permanent bond and corrosion resistance. Organic topcoats add flexibility, chemical resistance, and physical wear performance. TruComposite™ captures both in one system.
The product family
Ceramic Surface Treatments (CSTs) are penetrating colloidal silica products (Ceramic System PoreBlocker™ and ActiveCure™), repair mortars, and CeramycGuard™, all of which chemically bond to concrete and to each other. TruComposite™ topcoats (Fortress XD™, BulletProof™, and CrossLinker™) are applied over CeramycGuard™. Together they form one composite system.
Inorganic ceramic base coat
The foundation of every TruComposite™ system. CeramycGuard™ chemically bonds with concrete to create a sealed, granite-like surface that cannot delaminate.
Silane modified urethane topcoat
Cross-links with CeramycGuard™ to add chemical resistance, physical wear performance, and waterproof protection.
Heavy-duty topcoat system
The highest chemical and abrasion resistance topcoat in the TruComposite™ family, for the most demanding industrial environments.
Penetrating colloidal silica
Fills and seals the concrete pore network from within, conditioning the substrate before CeramycGuard™ is applied.
Colloidal silica accelerator
Accelerates and enhances the curing of the ceramic system, improving depth of penetration and surface hardness.
Topcoat crosslinking agent
Increases crosslinking density throughout the composite system, raising chemical resistance and long-term durability.
Recommended uses
CST and TruComposite™ systems work on floors and walls. They can be specified for non-slip, easy-clean, and waterproofing requirements across a wide range of industries.
Livestock areas, dairy floors, and feed storage that demand biological imperviousness and easy washdown. TruComposite™ systems resist ammonia, acids, and biological growth.
Processing facilities and cold storage where sanitary surfaces, chemical resistance, and hygienic maintenance are required by regulation and practical necessity.
Loading docks, distribution centers, and parking ramps that face heavy physical wear, vehicle traffic, and chemical spills.
Surgery suites, sterile rooms, laboratories, and exercise facilities where a biologically impervious, easy-to-clean surface protects both the asset and the people using it.
