Fighting Concrete Corrosion Costs Billions Every Year
Concrete is essential for the construction of most modern infrastructure. But concrete corrodes over time because it’s naturally porous and chemically fragile. This corrosion can lead to collapsed bridges, broken dams, failed water systems, and more. Even worse? Protective coatings like epoxy or polyurethane cannot be used to preserve infrastructure outdoors because they can’t bond to concrete, or survive humidity and UV light exposure.

Our Coating Solution Makes Concrete Virtually Immortal
Zirconia's nano-ceramic coating, CeramycGuard™ is the only coating that chemically bonds to concrete, creating an ultra-durable ceramic surface. It literally becomes part of the concrete, so corrosives like salt, acid, and bacteria can’t break through and cause corrosion. Our solution makes infrastructure virtually immortal.
There’s Already $1M+ in Our Sales Funnel²
Because our nano-ceramic coating outperforms the market, we’ve quickly won regulatory approvals, are running field trials with various government agencies, and are building a reputation of success with our customers. Zirconia has made over $800,000 in revenue* since inception and now has over $1 million in our sales funnel.
Customers include Amazon, Tyson, UK Water, New Jersey DOT, SASE, Royal Atlantic Condominiums (FL), and California Water Districts
Certified for wastewater infrastructure in the United Kingdom
Approved by Miami-Dade County as a salt corrosion prevention coating
Starting trials in Saudi Arabia for preventing corrosion of oil/gas cooling system which uses seawater for cooling, and suffers from salt corrosion
Undergoing five water dam trials with U.S. state and federal agencies
The Only Solution to Actually Stop Corrosion
Outdated solutions from the 1950’s, like polyurethane and epoxy coatings, can’t bond to concrete or be used outdoors. They rely on "adhesion," which weakens and fails. Backed by four (3 issued, 1 pending) patents, Zirconia is the only solution that chemically bonds with concrete, creating an impenetrable barrier. Zirconia’s nano-ceramic coating, CeramycGuard, is immortal and not affected by salts, freeze-thaw cycles or weathering.
Ready to Scale to $50M in Sales
Exit Potential
We have a roadmap for reaching our goal of $7M revenue by 2026*. In a world where Duraflex sold for 7X revenue to Sherwin Williams⁴, we believe we can offer similar value to a multinational acquirer.
What's Next for Zirconia
Miami Dade County & Florida DOT product approval: Zirconia protects against salt corrosion. Sales support for condominium renovations from salt corrosion.
Distributor in Saudi Arabia Sipchem trial, Endurance Materials EU licensing deal. Project and Sales support.
Zirconia continues with United Kingdom wastewater infrastructure, field trials & project support.
Zirconia will hire an industry-experienced Field Supervisor
Present at 8+ Trade shows in the Corrosion Industry (AMPP, NACE) and Commercial Construction in 2024
Manufacture 6 months of inventory, fuels pipeline of sales.
A Green-Tech Solution for Fighting Climate Change
Creating one pound of concrete creates one pound of carbon emissions⁵. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Our technologies help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollution, making infrastructure more durable, long lived, and sustainable.
Zirconia’s coating extends the lifespan of concrete and steel infrastructure, making it virtually immortal, while reducing the need to remanufacture and remake concrete and steel structures, which cumulatively emit up to 16% of global climate change gases.
We’re fighting for a more livable climate for this generation, as well as future generations.
