Star Water Shield
Solvent-Based Nanotechnology Hydrophobic Penetrating Coating
Star Water Shield is engineered with advanced silicon nanotechnology to form an insoluble, ultra-hydrophobic barrier with a 130° water contact angle, providing complete waterproofing protection while maintaining substrate breathability.
Utilizing solvent-based silicon nanotechnology, Star Water Shield creates molecular-level protection within substrate matrices, penetrating over 6mm deep — nearly double the depth of conventional waterproofing coatings — for long-term protection from within the material itself.
Technical Advantages
- Deep Molecular Integration — penetrates over 6mm into the substrate, compared to conventional 3-4mm penetration
- Certified Performance — tested and certified per BS 6477:1992 standards for validated water ingress protection
- Application Efficiency — proprietary wet-on-wet technology reduces application time by 40% and labor costs by 30%
- Complete Water Ingress Prevention — eliminates capillary water absorption in concrete, masonry, and natural stone
- Corrosion & Efflorescence Elimination — protects reinforcement bars from oxidative damage and prevents salt crystallization
- Zero VOC Formulation — meets international environmental standards for use in occupied environments

The Problem
Structural Protection Challenges
Unprotected structures experience accelerated deterioration, with up to 50% reduction in service life and maintenance costs exceeding 300% of the initial waterproofing investment. Star Water Shield is built to solve all three root causes.
Capillary Water Ingress
Water penetration through micro-pores leads to structural degradation, foundation weakening, and costly structural rehabilitation.
Corrosion & Efflorescence
Reinforcement bar corrosion and salt crystallization reduce structural capacity and compromise aesthetic integrity.
Environmental Health Risks
Damp conditions promote microbial growth, compromising indoor air quality and occupant health.
Benefits
Performance Benefits of Star Water Shield
StarShield Water Shield delivers scientifically validated performance metrics that surpass conventional waterproofing, combining deep molecular penetration, superhydrophobic performance, and BS 6477 certified results.
Complete Water Ingress Prevention
Creates impenetrable hydrophobic barriers that eliminate capillary water absorption in concrete, masonry, and natural stone substrates.
Corrosion & Efflorescence Elimination
Prevents salt crystallization and protects reinforcement bars from oxidative damage, maintaining structural integrity and aesthetic quality.
Extended Structural Lifespan
Increases building service life by up to 50% through comprehensive protection against hydrostatic pressure and water-induced deterioration.
Improved Indoor Environmental Quality
Maintains dry surfaces to inhibit microbial proliferation, contributing to healthier interior environments and occupant wellbeing.
Deep Molecular Integration
Penetrates over 6mm into the substrate compared to conventional 3–4mm penetration, ensuring long-term protection from within the material matrix.
Certified BS 6477 Performance
Tested and certified per BS 6477:1992 standards, providing scientifically validated protection against water ingress and leakage.
How to Apply
Application Protocol
For optimal performance, adhere to these professional application guidelines
Surface Preparation
Thoroughly clean the surface of dust, oil, grease, and contaminants. Ensure complete dryness before application and fill any cracks larger than 0.5mm with an appropriate filler.
Mixing Procedure
Shake the container vigorously and mix for 2 minutes using a low-speed mechanical stirrer (300–400 RPM) to ensure a homogeneous consistency.
Application Method
Apply liberally with a brush, roller, or airless spray. Apply subsequent coats perpendicularly after 60–90 minutes using a wet-on-wet application technique.

FAQs
Technical Documentation
Everything you need to know about Star Water Shield.
What is Star Water Shield's coverage rate?
Coverage is approximately 140–160 sq. ft. per litre per coat on new surfaces and 120–140 sq. ft. per litre per coat on existing surfaces, with 2 coats minimum recommended.
How deep does Star Water Shield penetrate the substrate?
It penetrates more than 6mm into the substrate, compared to the 3–4mm penetration typical of conventional waterproofing coatings.
Is Star Water Shield certified to any standard?
Yes, it is tested and certified per BS 6477:1992 standards with independent laboratory validation for 100% protection against water ingress.
Is Star Water Shield safe for occupied buildings?
Yes, it is a zero-VOC formulation that meets international environmental standards, making it suitable for occupied and sensitive environments.
How long does Star Water Shield take to cure?
Full cure is achieved in 24 hours at 25°C and 50% relative humidity, with an intercoat interval of 60–90 minutes depending on temperature.
Can Star Water Shield be used on swimming pools or water tanks?
No, it is not recommended for continuously submerged applications such as swimming pools or water tanks. It is designed for concrete, masonry, and stone surfaces exposed to weather and moisture, not permanent submersion.
What surfaces is Star Water Shield suitable for?
It works on concrete and masonry (foundations, retaining walls, columns, beams, slabs), brick walls, AAC blocks, natural stone (marble, granite, sandstone, limestone), and prefabricated industrial elements.
What packaging sizes are available for Star Water Shield?
It is available in 1L (trial), 5L (project), and 20L (commercial) engineered containers.
How is Star Water Shield applied?
It can be applied with airless spray (recommended), brush, or roller. Two to three coats are applied wet-on-wet within 60–90 minutes of each other.
Does Star Water Shield affect the appearance of the substrate?
No, it maintains substrate breathability and appearance while creating an ultra-hydrophobic barrier with a 130° water contact angle, so water beads and rolls off without being absorbed.
