Mumbai, January 06, 2026.
Nuvoco Vistas Corp. Ltd., India’s trusted building materials company, has announced the launch of Nuvoco Concreto Tri Shield, a high-performance Ready-Mix Concrete engineered to enhance structural durability and longevity. Part of the flagship Nuvoco Concreto portfolio, Nuvoco Concreto Tri Shield is a three-in-one durability solution designed to protect structures across India from increasingly harsh environmental exposures.
The product is specifically developed to counter the adverse effects of high chloride levels in borewell water and coastal air, rapid carbonation driven by urban pollution and sulphate-rich soil and groundwater prevalent across several regions of India. These environmental factors are known to accelerate material degradation and compromise long-term structural durability.
Nuvoco Concreto Tri Shield delivers comprehensive durability protection through three integrated mechanisms. The Chloride Shield reduces chloride penetration by 50% compared to standard concrete, helping protect reinforcement steel from corrosion. The Carbonation Shield slows the rate of carbonation, maintaining steel passivity and achieving by 50% lower carbonation depth than standard concrete. Complementing this, the Sulphate Shield resists sulphate-induced expansion and cracking in foundations, basements, and soil-contact elements, delivering by 50% reduction in sulphate expansion versus standard concrete.
Together, these three defence mechanisms work synergistically to enhance overall durability, extending the service life of structures by 50% compared to standard concrete. This performance has been validated through Nuvoco’s Construction Development and Innovation Centre (CDIC) – accredited by NABL, aligned with IS 456, IS 516, ASTM C1202, and ASTM C1012/C1012M durability standards, as well as through advanced simulations conducted using sophisticated modelling software. With a strong focus on durability, resilience and lifecycle value, Nuvoco Concreto Tri Shield stands out as a dependable choice for customers seeking long-term protection and sustained performance.
Chirag Shah, Head of Marketing, Innovation and Sales Excellence at Nuvoco Vistas Corp. Ltd., said:
“Nuvoco Concreto Tri Shield reflects our commitment to creating customer value through innovations that address real on-ground construction challenges. As premature deterioration of structures becomes an increasing concern, this solution, powered by its unique Tri Shield formulation, has been engineered to enhance durability, extend service life, and prolong repair cycles. The product is well suited for captive-use and leased assets such as commercial complexes, hotels, hospitals and educational institutions. This launch reinforces Nuvoco’s customer-centric approach to delivering high-performance, reliable, and future-ready building solutions.”
