Basilisk bacterial self-healing concrete platform
Bacteria-based self-healing concrete that precipitates calcium carbonate to seal cracks autonomously, extending RC structure design life from 65 to 100+ years and reducing maintenance CO2.
AI-assisted directory summary. Technical specifications, performance metrics, readiness and compliance labels are unverified unless individually supported and reviewed. Proposed partnership routes do not establish supplier consent, export eligibility, or willingness to sign an NDA. Confirm claims and test conditions with the linked sources and supplier before procurement or citation.
Problem solved
Eliminates or delays manual crack repair in reinforced concrete, cutting maintenance CO2 and extending service life beyond conventional 65-year design life.
Application contexts
- precast-concrete
- ready-mix-concrete
- building-integrated-pv
- industrial-equipment
Technical principle
Bacteria (Bacillus) metabolize calcium lactate in the presence of oxygen and water, precipitating calcium carbonate that fills cracks from within; standard dosage 5 kg/m3.
Typical use cases
- Long-life RC infrastructure with reduced maintenance
- Marine and cold-region concrete where crack repair is difficult
Partnership route
How global engineering teams typically engage this asset.
Helpful to include: crack-width repair limit · expected service-life extension · dosage compatibility with mix designs · third-party durability test results
