Developing a groundbreaking solution to combat concrete corrosion and enhance infrastructure durability.

• Mission: Addressing concrete corrosion to enhance infrastructure durability and sustainability, while reducing costly repairs and environmental impact.  
• Innovation: CeramycGuard™, a nano-ceramic coating that chemically bonds with concrete, preventing corrosion from salts, acids, and bacteria.  
• Sustainability Impact: Reduces the need for new concrete production and frequent repairs, helping to lower carbon emissions associated with infrastructure maintenance.  
• Market Opportunity: Already serving major customers like Amazon and Tyson, with regulatory approvals in place and plans for significant growth.  
• Long-Term Vision: Aims to revolutionize infrastructure longevity by creating virtually immortal structures and contributing to a more sustainable built environment.

Zirconia is addressing the critical issue of concrete corrosion, which costs billions each year and poses significant risks to infrastructure such as bridges, dams, and water systems. Their innovative solution, the nano-ceramic coating known as CeramycGuard™, is the only product on the market that chemically bonds with concrete, creating an ultra-durable surface that prevents corrosion from salts, acids, and bacteria.

This technology not only extends the lifespan of concrete and steel structures but also contributes to sustainability by reducing the need for frequent repairs and new concrete production, which is a significant source of carbon emissions. With existing customers like Amazon and Tyson, as well as regulatory approvals in various regions, Zirconia is poised for substantial growth, aiming to scale operations to reach $50 million in sales.

The company is focused on making infrastructure virtually immortal while fostering a more sustainable future, thereby combating the concrete infrastructure crisis that affects communities globally. Through this fundraising initiative, Zirconia seeks to attract investors who are interested in supporting a solution that enhances infrastructure resilience and sustainability, while also positioning the company for potential future acquisitions or public offerings.
