Richlam® Self-Healing Waterproofing
Bio-Inspired Waterproofing System for Concrete
Richlam® is the flagship waterproofing brand under RICHLAM DEVELOPMENT GROUP, offering a complete system of concrete waterproofing solutions, including integral waterproofing admixtures, crystalline sealers, and mortar waterproofing additives. These products are available in liquid or powder form and applied either internally or externally, depending on project requirements. Based on advanced self-healing concrete technology, Richlam® gives concrete the ability to heal its own cracks, preventing leakage and enhancing concrete durability. It transforms concrete from a vulnerable building material into an active waterproof barrier—driving the construction industry toward self-protecting, long-life structures.
Richlam® waterproofing products are formulated with high-activity crystalline growth agents, catalysts, and specialized additives. When applied, they penetrate deep into the concrete, filling microcracks and capillaries, sealing pores, and reducing porosity. The result is a denser, more durable structure with crystallization waterproofing and near-zero permeability. Richlam® solutions are widely used in integral waterproofing systems, durability enhancement, basement damp-proofing, and concrete rehabilitation.

Self-Healing Concrete, Waterproofing Reimagined
Richlam® Core Technology for Integral Protection
Richlam® is dedicated to advancing bio-inspired intelligent concrete technology. Our goal is to develop concrete materials that can perceive, adapt, and repair themselves—unlocking new value for the built environment. Over the years, we have made major progress in crack self-diagnosis, thermal regulation, microcrack control, and bio-mimetic self-healing. These innovations give concrete a form of life, enabling it to respond to damage like living organisms.
Richlam® self-healing concrete mimics the natural regeneration process of animal bone tissue. Through continuous crystallization at the crack site, the system heals new cracks automatically. The crystalline admixtures used in Richlam® formulas enter a dormant state when dry and reactivate upon contact with moisture, forming a repeatable cycle of healing. This allows for long-term, self-sustaining protection. Richlam®-treated concrete offers lifetime crack healing, capable of repairing cracks up to 1.0 mm, helping build truly maintenance-free concrete structures.

Total Performance Enhancement for Concrete
Protecting Concrete in the Harshest Environments
Concrete durability remains a global challenge. Corrosion-related damage accounts for 3–5% of GDP in many countries—and one-quarter of that stems from deteriorating concrete structures. Owners face high repair and reinforcement costs. Traditional reactive maintenance models are no longer suitable for modern infrastructure. The solution lies in bio-inspired self-healing concrete that can autonomously repair damage and restore performance—extending service life without intervention.
Durable concrete must be dense, low-shrinkage, chemically resistant, and self-healing. While Richlam® is engineered for integral waterproofing, its impact goes far beyond waterproofing. Richlam® technology strengthens concrete on multiple fronts, shielding it from environmental degradation. Richlam®-protected structures exhibit outstanding crack self-healing, along with improved resistance to:
-
Water ingress
-
Sulfate and chemical attack
-
Acid and alkali exposure
-
Carbonation
-
Freeze–thaw cycles
-
Alkali-silica reactions
According to the American Concrete Institute (ACI), crystalline waterproofing admixtures are among the most effective strategies for long-term concrete durability and structural protection.

Bio-Inspired Innovation for Real-World Applications
Smart Concrete for Better Living
Richlam® is a pioneer in bio-mimetic intelligent concrete, globally recognized for its advancement in crystalline self-healing concrete waterproofing. Our technology mimics the regenerative behavior of living tissues by integrating crystalline growth factors into the concrete matrix. These agents repair cracks from within, transforming concrete into an intelligent material with active defense capabilities. Richlam®-treated concrete heals itself repeatedly—delivering lifetime protection.
We believe smart, self-healing concrete is the future of construction. Richlam® is committed to exploring the applications of intelligent concrete across modern living environments, and has already commercialized this technology in engineering practice. Richlam® self-healing concrete is widely used in:
-
Concrete durability enhancement systems
-
Integral concrete waterproofing systems
-
Basement damp-proofing systems
-
Waterproofing repair and retrofit projects

Richlam® is also aligned with international green building standards and sustainability goals.
Self-Healing Waterproofing, A Global Vision
Partner with Richlam® to Build the Future of Concrete
Flexible waterproofing membranes treat symptoms—not the cause. They are the root of recurring leakage. Long-standing industry experience shows that true waterproofing must return to the concrete itself. Yet achieving integral waterproofing is no easy task—cracks and internal flaws have challenged engineers for centuries. Richlam® offers a clear answer: improve the concrete itself. Repair the material. Eliminate the root problem. And unlock a new level of long-term performance.
With crystalline self-healing technology, Richlam® helps build structures that are denser, more durable, and water-tight—without ongoing repair. While Richlam® addresses waterproofing challenges, its impact extends far beyond. At its core, Richlam® technology enhances the full range of concrete durability properties: impermeability, corrosion resistance, carbonation resistance, freeze–thaw protection, sulfate resistance, and chemical stability.
Richlam® is now expanding its global distributor network as part of a long-term commercial strategy—offering partners a rare opportunity to grow with the future of construction.
