Owns, Manufactures, and Sells TurtleCRETE®
TurtleCRETE® is a line of eco-friendly, extreme temperature resistant, anti-corrosive coating formulas mandated and specified for use by the
United States Navy, Department of Transportation, and the Department of Interior as a superior protective coating and repair product.
Multi- purpose TurtleCRETE is an advanced, inorganic, cementitious, phosphate bonded ceramic
that is simply mixed with water, can be 'built up' in layers, and can either be
troweled, poured, sprayed, foamed, or pre cast for endless applications.
Next generation TurtleCRETE self-bonds to carbon steel, concrete, glass, and wood, and is impervious to harsh environmental conditions such as
extreme temperatures or corrosion.
TurtleCRETE is a safe, superior, permanent alternative to Portland cement and epoxy repair products, and safe for over water applications, safe for workers, and safe for the environment.
TurtleCRETE is a next generation solution with extensive applications in several industries.
Science & Technology
TurtleCRETE... A Fundamentally Different Approach
Traditional industrial coatings only delay the onset of corrosion, while TurtleCRETE permanently prevents corrosion by 'chemically bonding' to substrates, actually fusing to the substrate like a 'shield of armor', unlike polymer coatings, that just sit on top of the substrate, allowing moisture to penetrate, which is what causes corrosion to occur.
DoE: Hazardous and Nuclear Waste Encapsulation...
Phosphate Bonded Ceramic
TurtleCRETE is am extremely user-friendly and highly effective approach to
protecting mission critical substrates from extreme temperatures and corrosion,
and is easy to apply using standard industrial pump systems.
Two components, water and the TurtleCRETE powder, are combined in either dry or wet application systems before contact with substrate.
Because TurtleCRETE is a phosphate bonded ceramic and has superior insulative and compression strength capabilities,
it prevents extreme temperatures and corrosive materials from ever reaching the substrate...
making it ideal for micro and macro encapsulation of hazardous and nuclear waste streams.

Fire Resistant
Flame Spread Rating of Zero
TurtleCRETE is a Class "A" Fire Rated Material with a ZERO flame spread rating.
Because TurtleCRETE is completely inorganic, it will not burn, even when exposed directly to flame.
TurtleCRETE will never burn... It's like a rock.
Most corrosion resistant coatings, many of which are organic, offer no such level of temperature resistance or flame spread protection.

Antimicrobial Protection
TurtleCRETE delivers antimicrobial protection unmatched by any other corrosion resistant coatings.
When a microbe comes in contract with the TurtleCRETE protective coating, the moisture in the organism causes a tiny amount of phosphate to leach from the surface of the ceramic. The pH in the phosphate creates an environment where harmful microbes such as bacteria, fungus, protozoa, or virus, simply cannot survive.
For substrates that must be protected from corrosion that are also in close proximity to humans or animals, such as offshore oil platforms, ships crew quarters, railroad car compartments, livestock feed areas, hospitals, laboratories, hotels, etc...TurtleCRETE offers a safe and superior solution by preventing and eliminating both rust and unwanted bacteria, viruses, fungus, and other microbes.

extreme abrasion Resistance
TurtleCRETE is a highly abrasion resistant coating that protects critical assets in the toughest environments. From industrial flooring to laboratory countertops, oil storage tanks to gas pipelines, from floating roofs to industrial equipment, TurtleCRETE protects steel, concrete and wood substrates from real-world abrasion.
No traditional Portland cement or epoxy barrier coating can match the true ceramic protection of TurtleCRETE.
More Abrasion Resistant Than Epoxy...
Since TurtleCRETE is a phosphate bonded ceramic coating, it provides an extremely hard surface that is almost impervious to scratches, taking >1200 cycles during abrasion testing, while the number of cycles to get .001” wear for most polymer paints is about 75 cycles, and for an ordinary epoxy it is about 250 cycles.

DoT: Permanent, extreme strength, Quick Set, all weather repair FOR TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
Mandated and specified for use by the Department of Transportation, multiple purpose TurtleCRETE produces superior, permanent structural repair coatings ideal for roads, bridges and any other mass concrete construction application, and meets or exceeds ASTM C1157 & C1600 requirements.
TurtleCRETE is used as an all weather permanent solution for pot holes, and can also be spayed over rusty carbon steel, rebar, concrete and wood to form a chemically bonded, fused protective coating that will not degrade in harsh environments such as extreme temperatures, salt water, brine, or petroleum.
TurtleCRETE's exceptional volume stability, very low chloride permeability, superior freeze thaw durability and inherent resistance to both ASR and sulfate attack represents a quantum breakthrough in concrete repair products, with 5 times the durability of typical Portland cement concretes.
Performance Advantages:
- Enhanced Durability / Low Permeability
-Resists deterioration from de-icing chemicals - ASR Resistant
- Utilize local aggregates - Exceptional Freeze/Thaw Performance
- Superior Volume Stability
-Less cracking potential, fewer control joints required - Less Heat of Hydration
- Set up within 15 minutes, traffic opened within one hour
(depending on application requirement)
By using TurtleCRETE infrastructure can be coated once and then kept in service for decades. Savings can immediately be obtained with faster and less expensive surface preparation and application costs.
In place assets are returned to service faster than if traditional surface preparation and coatings are applied. Year after year no additional funds will be spent on such maintenance.
If organizations and governments care about the increased health and safety of their employees, contractors, and the public as a result of using an inorganic product with no VOCs, no HAPS, no odor, no flash point and zero flame spread, then TurtleCRETE is the solution.
