Zirconia is an advanced materials company with disruptive products that offer high performance, long-lasting, eco-friendly, low-cost asset preservation coatings for industry and infrastructure.
Zirconia’s Ceramic Sealers create answers for never-solved problems in the construction industry.
Zirconia makes Ceramic Sealants that behave like cold-poured ceramic. They renew and preserve concrete surfaces by chemically bonding to the concrete, eliminating porosity completely and forming a composite ceramic layer that shields the surface from the environment permanently. This tech is not affected by salt, UV, wet/dry or freeze/thaw cycles, and will not peel, flake, chalk, or delaminate in any manner.
This technology provides the first bonded waterproofing, and crack-repair for concrete ever. It also creates a “Biologically Impervious” surface which prevents the proliferation of microbial life, eliminating these hazards for food manufacturing industries. This “green”, water-based technology for concrete can be used to fix concrete bridges, water and sewer pipes, dams, and other engineered structures, making sustainable infrastructure possible.
Zirconia has Ceramic Sealants for steel and galvanized steel that stop corrosion permanently, which can be used to preserve our bridge infrastructure and electrical grid.
Our newest “Biologically Impervious” touch surface coating, "QuartzSeal Surface Defense", eliminates habitat for microbial life and has multiple improved chemical and physical features which disallow microbial growth on most touch surfaces, including doorknobs, bathroom doors, light switches, machinery, forklifts, pallet jacks, shovels…the list goes on.
There has never been a chemistry that bonded to concrete, steel or galvanized steel previously. This is an amazing breakthrough that will allow infrastructure to be built and maintained at lower cost, while also dramatically lowering the toxicity of infrastructure, and creating green jobs.

Manta is a cutting-edge biotechnology startup that is revolutionizing the way we think about sustainable energy and environmental remediation. Our patented technology removes pollutants, like algae blooms and excessive nutrients, from water more sustainably than traditional methods for a fraction of the cost. Combining established water treatment processes with our proprietary magnetic filtration technology allows us to fit the power of a water treatment plant in a highly mobile footprint. This unique mobility opens largely underserved segments of the $300B water treatment market. Manta can then leverage its experience in biofuel production to convert collected pollutants like algae into a carbon neutral fuel. By combining our innovative water treatment technology with our experience in biofuels, we will simultaneously address two critical issues facing the world today- water pollution and climate change.
