Zirconia Inc.

About the offering

Our green-tech nano-ceramic coatings for concrete and steel stops corrosion, creating extreme durability and lifespan for our infrastructure. This revolutionary advance in surface protection is necessary to preserve infrastructure from decay, lower lifecycle costs and lessen environmental impacts.Our Technology Permanently Protects Steel and Concrete InfrastructureZirconia solves critical problems in water and food infrastructure globally, using the unique nature of our green-tech nano-ceramic coatings which repair, strengthen and preserve concrete and steel infrastructure.Our revolutionary technology can make infrastructure made of concrete and steel virtually immortal. We have invented a ceramic coating that reacts with the surface of concrete and steel, encapsulating them in an ultra-durable, inert surface, all at room temperature. The Zirconia DifferenceTHE PROBLEMAmerica's Drinking Water Infrastructure is FailingThe USA wastes 15.4% of purified water through cracked and deteriorated water pipes and reservoirs, enough water to supply 60 million homes daily. Water infrastructure suffers from long-term neglect and a lack of investment in long-term solutions. And, until now, no durable solutions have been available.Concrete is used throughout the water holding and transport systems, but it is chemically unstable and very porous. Like a sponge, it absorbs contaminants, then cracks, corrodes, and dissolves.This problem is made worse by the chlorine used to sanitize our drinking water. Chlorine dissolves concrete and corrodes steel reinforcement, slowly destroying the water pipes and storage tanks. Worse yet, this porosity absorbs food and water and creates habitat for bacteria and other unwanted microbial life. The ceilings and floors at our food producers are filled with bacteria and mold, which too often ends up in our food.THE SOLUTIONOur Technology Strengthens, Protects, and Preserves Concrete with our Innovative, Patented Industrial Ceramic Coating Zirconia’s Ceramic Surface Treatment consists of a water-based ceramic “paint” (a patented mix of alumina and zirconia silicates) to renew, strengthen, and preserve concrete by eliminating inherent weaknesses and by stabilizing the surface. Our Ceramic Surface Treatment forms a barrier layer that eliminates all surface porosity and chemically stabilizes the concrete. Chemical instability and porosity are the root causes of concrete asset failure. Our technology eliminates these failure pathways, giving the concrete an indefinite lifespan. The resulting ceramic surface is not affected by environmental weathering and is immune to ultraviolet light, salts, and microbial decay. Zirconia’s elimination of porosity (microbial habitat), along with the natural antimicrobial characteristics of our coating, means reductions of harmful bacteria in our food and water supply. This is the critical solution Food and Water infrastructure need to preserve public health.To start, Zirconia is focusing on the following applications in the US and UK:Water infrastructure for fresh water including concrete pipe and large municipal tank applicationsStormwater, and sanitary sewer applicationsFloor, wall, and ceiling coating for food manufacturing and food storageFloor, wall, and ceiling coating for animal husbandry and animal processing THE MARKETA Revolutionary Product Applicable Across Multiple Massive MarketsZirconia addresses the global $2.8 trillion-dollar concrete and steel corrosion problem, with the first coating system that solves corrosion.Our technology has direct applications in the $1.8 billion food manufacturing and protein market, the $3.5 billion commercial construction market, and the $14 billion infrastructure market.
