Expect More

Engineered in the lab and proven in the field Ghostshield is a leading global manufacturer of a wide range of innovative specialty concrete sealers, water and oil repellents, densifiers, durable coatings and structural waterproofing systems for the commercial and residential building sectors. The latest advances in nanotechnology and innovative chemistry are what drive the Ghostshield brand creating the most robust, supercharged and highest performance formulas in the industry. Having been a leader in underground waterproofing and directly involved with DeNeef Chemical, recently acquired by W.R Grace & Co. in 2011, our experience ranges across the globe.

Having been involved with iconic projects such as the Big Dig, the Channel Tunnel, Bjarke Ingels Group’s Grove at Grand Bay, Watchcase Condominiums in Sag Harbor (formerly the Bulova watch plant), Notre Dame, and the Zakim Bridge, Ghostshield’s Iso-Tek 8501 is the deepest penetrating, highest performing sealer on the market.

When architect Rafael Vinoly and Macklowe Properties embarked upon building the tallest residential building in the western hemisphere, 432 Park Ave, they knew no ordinary sealer was going to penetrate the 16,000 psi ultra high density reinforced concrete of the superstructure. 

After extensive mockups, countless core samples and a year of testing, engineers and material scientist from two of the most respected firms in the industry unanimously concluded Ghostshield Iso-Tek 8501 achieved the deepest levels of penetration; penetrating beyond one inch into the ultra high density concrete, depths previously thought to be unobtainable.

Project Highlight: 432 Park Ave

Ghostshield's Iso-Tek™ 8501 is the deepest penetrating sealer on the market and the only clear sealer capable of penetrating beyond one inch into the high-density 14,000 PSI architecturally reinforced concrete columns and spandrels of the superstructure at 432 Park Avenue in mid-town Manhattan.

Standing at 1,397 feet, 432 Park Avenue is now the tallest residential building in the western hemisphere and is truly a spectacular feat of engineering and construction. The sheer size of the tower required over 10,000 cubic yards of concrete and 12,500 tons of rebar.

Nanotechnology Engineered

Nanotechnology is the science of the extremely small. It involves the manipulation of matter at an atomic scale, allowing engineers to construct matter from the bottom up to create high-performance products.

Ghostshield formulas contain nanometer-sized particles. Just how small is a nanometer?

• 1 nm (nanometer) is 1 billionth of a meter
• 25,400,000 nm equals 1 inch
• a sheet of newspaper is 100,000 nm thick
• human hair is 90,000 nm wide

The manipulation of nanoparticles and the way they are then structurally assembled results in the most technologically advanced concrete sealers available. Traditionally concrete sealer manufacturers work on a bulk scale that results in inactive byproducts and diluted sealers. The meticulous engineering and manufacturing of Ghostshield formulas contrasts, offering customers greater yield with no byproducts.

Our approach provides:

• stronger, smaller, lighter nanoparticles: deeper penetration and more even chemical reaction
• increased penetrating accuracy: an ability to travel through all voids, pores and tracts to form chemical bonds deep within the concrete
• smallest molecular structures possible: one thousand times smaller than the wavelengths of light
• improved performance and control: unrivaled prevention of water, mold, mildew, efflorescence, radon, hydrostatic pressure and water vapor transmission
