What slows down your crew costs you before the job even starts. Schedule, callbacks, and install time are the only specs that matter once you’re on site. Here you’ll find everything needed to understand the application, evaluate the performance, and build with confidence: application guides, technical data sheets, SDS sheets, and FAQ libraries.
Moxie Shield products protect concrete and masonry substrates from the inside out — sealing capillary pathways and pore structures that allow moisture and vapour infiltration. For contractors, this translates directly: structures you build or restore with Moxie Shield perform longer, require fewer callbacks, and deliver the kind of results that build your reputation with owners and specifiers. Protection that works invisibly, permanently, and without ongoing maintenance is a story worth owning on every bid.
Application is straightforward. Moxie Shield surface-applied products are applied by brush, roller, or low-pressure sprayer — standard equipment already on most job sites. No specialized tools, no complex staging, no lengthy cure windows before the next trade can proceed. The 1800 Concrete Waterproofing Admixture is introduced at the batch plant or mixer, requiring no change to your pour or finishing workflow. Moxie’s application guides provide coverage rates, substrate preparation requirements, and drying times for each product.
Substrates must be structurally sound, clean, and free of surface contaminants including oils, curing compounds, existing sealers, and efflorescence. For most applications, a clean, open-pore surface is sufficient. Moxie Shield 3000 Concrete and Masonry Cleaner is purpose-formulated to prepare substrates for treatment, removing contaminants without damaging the substrate or leaving residue that would interfere with penetration. Specific preparation requirements are detailed in each product’s application guide.
Yes, for applicable products. Moxie Shield surface treatments are compatible with damp substrates — the chemistry is water-activated, and moisture present in the substrate supports the reactive silicate process rather than inhibiting it. For new concrete, application timing relative to cure state varies by product; consult the specific product application guide or contact Moxie’s technical team for project-specific guidance.
Coverage rates vary by substrate porosity, surface condition, and application method. Rough, open-pored substrates such as masonry block and aged concrete absorb more product than dense, finished surfaces. Moxie’s technical team recommends a field test on a representative area before full-scale application to establish accurate coverage for your specific substrate.

Yes. Because Moxie Shield products are penetrating treatments with no surface film, they do not interfere with adhesion of coatings, paints, sealants, or overlays applied after treatment. For projects where Moxie Shield is applied before another finish trade, confirm cure and drying times per the product application guide. The 1800 admixture is fully compatible with standard concrete finishing, curing, and coating sequences.
Moxie Shield 1800 is an ASTM C494 Type S admixture added at the batch plant or on-site mixer. It requires no modification to mix design, water-cement ratio, or aggregate proportions, and does not affect workability, set time, or finishing characteristics. From a field perspective, it is a transparent addition — the concrete performs exactly as specified, with vapour-proofing and waterproofing built in from the pour.
Moxie Shield surface treatments are not crack-repair products. Existing structural cracks should be repaired prior to application using appropriate methods for the substrate type. Once the substrate is restored to sound condition, Moxie Shield provides penetrating protection across the treated surface. For guidance on repair sequencing, Moxie’s technical team can assist.
Moxie Shield products are low to zero VOC and do not require specialized respiratory protection under normal application conditions. Standard personal protective equipment applies: eye protection, gloves, and appropriate clothing. Full safety data sheets are available for each product. The 1800 admixture is formulated for safe use in enclosed batch plant environments and is approved for aquatically sensitive applications.
Moxie Shield products are engineered for real-world job site conditions. Cold weather and rain windows affect application timing, as they would with any penetrating treatment. Each product’s application guide includes temperature and weather parameters. When conditions fall outside those parameters, Moxie’s technical team is available to advise on scheduling adjustments without compromising the installation.
