Axion Group has stated that its breakthrough products, Axion Hydroshield Polybond and Axion Totalcrete Cement, have been engineered to deliver 100 per cent waterproof and crack-proof protection for walls, floors, and building surfaces, offering a lasting solution to dampness and moisture-related defects.

According to the company, the new Canadian technology products are designed as high-performance screeding materials that completely block water penetration, eliminate rising damp, algae, and prevent the early deterioration of building finishes.

It stated that builders, contractors, and homeowners who have struggled with persistent damp walls, peeling paint, mould growth, and structural weakening now have an affordable and technologically advanced option.

The company disclosed further that Axion Hydroshield Polybond is formulated to create a seamless waterproof barrier during screeding, ensuring that water cannot seep through concrete surfaces.

In a statement, the Group Chief Executive of Axion Nigeria, Dr. Oke Eze, revealed that when combined with the multipurpose Totalcrete Cement, the result is a reinforced screed layer that remains dry, strong, and durable, even in moisture-prone areas.

He urged stakeholders across the built environment-architects, engineers, block makers, developers, and homeowners to embrace modern, innovative construction technologies that guarantee safer, stronger, and more durable structures.

Eze emphasised that the rising cases of dampness, cracks, mould, and early building deterioration stem largely from outdated methods and poor construction materials.

According to him, “Hydroshield Polybond and Totalcrete Cement represent the future of waterproof construction in Nigeria. When people insist on the right products, we eliminate damp problems and improve the overall lifespan of our buildings.”

Eze further reiterated Axion’s commitment to providing science-driven solutions that reduce maintenance costs and prevent structural damage, stressing that adopting these products will help address one of the most common and expensive building challenges in the country.

With increasing demand for durable housing and infrastructure, Axion’s new waterproof screeding system is being positioned as a game-changer for the Nigerian construction industry.

In her remarks at the launch, the Managing Director of CM Services Limited, Catherine Kadiri, described the unveiling of the Axion Innovative Construction products as a milestone for the sector.

She noted that the solutions were created to make construction work easier, faster, and more reliable for professionals across the value chain.

Kadiri said the new products speak directly to the daily struggles faced by engineers, builders, technicians, and artisans, from harsh project-site conditions to repairs that fail to stand the test of time.

She said, “Axion was created with you in mind. These products are designed to solve real, everyday challenges, giving us better bonding, stronger protection, and faster application times. In simple terms, Axion helps us work smarter, not harder.”
