SheltoClear®
It is a transparent protective coating that shuts out the intrusion of deterioration factors such as carbon dioxide, water, and chloride ions, while preserving the original texture of exposed concrete.
**Overview** Shelto Clear® allows for the coating of exposed concrete surfaces with a transparent protective paint while maintaining their original aesthetic. It is a material that contributes to the longevity of concrete structures by improving their durability. **Protection Effect on Structures** It can block the intrusion of deterioration factors such as carbon dioxide, water, and chloride ions, which are causes of concrete degradation, thereby preventing the progression of carbonation and corrosion of reinforcing steel. **Sustainability of Protection Effect** Accelerated weather resistance tests have confirmed that the suppression effect on carbonation progression is maintained even after years of use. **Improvement of Aesthetics** The transparent clear version preserves the texture inherent to exposed concrete. The colored clear version includes gray pigments added to match the concrete's color tone, helping to minimize the visibility of color variations in existing concrete. **Environmentally Friendly Material** The materials used are water-based, solvent-free paints certified with F ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆, eliminating concerns about toxicity or flammability, making them considerate of workers and the surrounding environment. **Others** NETIS Registration: KT-220060-A Non-combustible material certified by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (NM-5421)

Detailed information
-
By applying the color clear specification, you can make the color unevenness of the concrete substrate less noticeable. (Left: Concrete substrate, Right: Color clear specification)
-
It has been confirmed that the application of clear specifications and colored clear specifications significantly suppresses the progression of neutralization compared to uncoated materials. (Graph vertical axis from left: Uncoated, Clear Specification, Colored Clear Specification)
-
The difference in the progression of carbonation between the untreated and the one coated with Shelto Clear is obvious at a glance. (Left: Untreated, Right: Coated with Shelto Clear)
-
After conducting accelerated weathering tests lasting 5000 hours, we performed accelerated carbonation tests and confirmed that the clear and color clear specifications significantly suppress the progression of carbonation compared to the uncoated samples. (Black line: uncoated, red line: color clear specification, blue line: clear specification)
-
It has been confirmed that the amount of chloride ions is significantly suppressed in items coated with clear specifications and color clear specifications compared to those without coating. (Graph vertical axis from left: uncoated, clear specifications, color clear specifications)

The difference in the amount of chloride ion intrusion between the coated with Shellt Clear and the uncoated is obvious. (Left: Uncoated, Right: Coated with Shellt Clear)
-
It has been confirmed that the water absorption rate of items coated with clear specifications and colored clear specifications is significantly reduced compared to those without coating. (Graph vertical axis from left: uncoated, clear specification, colored clear specification)
