3001 Permanent protection against Moisture and Efflorescence

Protecting the Foundation: Why Nanovations 3001 Has Been Australia’s Top Choice Since 2006

When it comes to the harsh Australian climate, not all cement based building material protection is created equal. Since 2006, Nanovations 3001 has stood the test of time, becoming the most trusted name in bulk impregnation for moisture and efflorescence control in cement based material and mixes.

Whether you are working on a large-scale infrastructure project or high-end masonry, here is why 3001 remains the industry gold standard.

Built for the Australian environment

Concrete curing in the Australian sun is a challenge. Nanovations 3001 doesn’t just sit on the surface; it works in your mix. And by slightly delaying water evaporation, it ensures better hydration and lowers the risk of curing cracks in hot conditions.

Goodbye, Efflorescence

There is nothing more frustrating than seeing a beautiful masonry project marred by white, powdery salt stains. Because 3001 provides deep-reaching moisture protection from within the bulk mix, it tackles efflorescence at the source, keeping surfaces looking pristine for years to come.

Performance Without Compromise

One of the reasons engineers have trusted 3001 for two decades is its reliability:

  • Strength: It maintains the full 28-day compressive strength of your concrete.

  • Speed: Low water absorption properties appear in as little as 24 hours.

  • Versatility: From standard concrete to complex masonry mixes, it is easily adjustable to achieve the exact level of hydrophobicity your project demands.

A Legacy of Trust

With nearly 20 years of proven performance across the continent, Nanovations 3001 isn’t just an additive—it’s an insurance policy for your concrete. When you use the most trusted moisture protection in Australia, you aren’t just building for today; you’re building for the future.

By using a concentrated formula, up to 90% of the weight associated with transportation can be avoided, resulting in significant savings on freight expenses. In addition, with the  use of the 3001 concentrate, 90 % of empty container waste and the cost that come with the removal of garbage is also eliminated . This feature positions 3001 as the leading eco-friendly penetrating sealer in the industry.

3001 is water based and contains less then 15 g/ liter VOC in the concentrate, and will emit zero VOC once fully reacted  with the substrate. Therefore, 3001 meets the latest LEED requirements and can be used indoors as well.
The 3001 not only offers an outstanding environmentally friendly solution, but also extremely high penetration, the most important indicator for the long term durability of a penetrating sealer system.
