Protect Your Concrete Structures
Star Carb Shield is a revolutionary elastomeric, high-performance anti-carbonation coating that protects concrete and masonry from CO2 ingress, carbonation, corrosion, and environmental damage.
The Problem: Carbonation Damage
Concrete structures face serious threats from environmental factors
Carbonation Penetration
CO2 from the atmosphere penetrates concrete, lowering its pH and causing reinforcement corrosion that compromises structural integrity.
Moisture Damage
Water ingress leads to freeze-thaw cycles, efflorescence, and accelerated deterioration of concrete surfaces.
Environmental Stress
Urban pollution, coastal salt exposure, and industrial emissions accelerate the degradation of unprotected concrete.
Crack Formation
Thermal expansion, structural movement, and shrinkage create cracks that allow further environmental damage.
What is Star Carb Shield?
Advanced protection for concrete structures
Elastomeric High-Performance Anti-Carbonation Coating
Star Carb Shield is a revolutionary water-based coating specifically formulated to protect concrete and masonry surfaces from carbonation, corrosion, and environmental damage.
Its unique elastomeric properties allow it to bridge hairline cracks while remaining breathable, permitting trapped moisture to escape without compromising protection.

Shop NowHow It Works
The science behind Star Carb Shield's protective technology
Barrier Formation
Forms a continuous, elastomeric film that blocks CO2 and water penetration while allowing vapor transmission.
Carbonation Resistance
Specialized polymers create a dense network that significantly slows carbon dioxide diffusion into concrete.
Crack Bridging
Elastomeric properties allow the coating to stretch and bridge hairline cracks as they form.
Long-Term Protection
Maintains protective properties for up to 10 years, withstanding environmental stresses.
How To Apply
Proper application ensures optimal performance
Application Steps
- Surface Preparation: Remove all contaminants, dirt, oil, and loose particles. Repair cracks and defects with appropriate filler.
- Repair Curing: Allow 24 hours for repair materials to fully cure before application.
- Product Preparation: Stir the product thoroughly before use. Do not dilute unless necessary (max 5% clean water).
- Application: Apply using brush, roller, or airless spray (1500-3000 psi, 17-23 thou tip).
- Recoat Timing: Wait 2-4 hours between coats. Apply recommended 2 coats for optimal protection.
- Curing: Allow 24 hours for full cure. Avoid water exposure during this period.
