3001 Hydrophobic Agent is a  high-concentration admixture designed for seamless integration into any cement-based material and for the permanent hydrophobic bulk impregnation of cement based construction materials. One simple addition creates a permanent, lifelong barrier against moisture, rising damp, and efflorescence. 

Why Choose 3001 Hydrophobic Agent ?

• Total Protection: Stops water ingress, effloresence, rising damp, reduces moss, algae, and surface discoloration at the source. 

• Deep-Core Technology: Unlike surface sealers, 3001 works from the inside out to protect the entire structure. 

• Universal Compatibility: Perfect for sand-cement screeds, renders,mortar , grouts, concrete masonry and concrete. 

Simple 3-Step Application:

1. Dilute: Mix 1 part 3001 with precisely 100 parts water.

2. Mix: Use this solution as your gauging water for your dry mix (screed, render, or concrete).

3. Cure: Allow the material to cure as normal.

The Result: Within 24 hours, your substrate becomes fully hydrophobic. See the difference below:

:

By adding Nanovations 3001 directly to the mix, you achieve a complete and permanent water repellent effect through every part of the material.

Dilution Reference Table: 3001 Concentrate

The following table provides standardized formulations for diluting 3001 with varying volumes of water:

The chemical reaction with the concrete allow it to provide permanent protection for cement based materials significantly reducing the ingress and transport of liquid water in the capillary pores, and any dissolved salts that this water may carry or that is coming from salt contaminated sand and aggregates within the mix. 3001 provides a deep-embedded permanent protection of the complete mass of the material produced.  

This not only prevents efflorescence but also helps to reduce water coming from the ground up towards the surface. Like external tiled areas and pool surroundings etc. There is no more salt and chlorine getting sucked into the capillary system. It also works against water sitting on top. The product can hold a hydro static pressure between 60mm and up to 100mm.

As a VOC-free, water-based solution, it offers a sustainable approach to enhancing the structural integrity and aesthetic longevity of cement-bound building materials It delivers superior resistance to moisture and efflorescence, ensuring long-term durability for all cement-based building materials and any product made out of it.

Unlike with a surface coating or a sealer that is exposed to the elements and can wear off over time, 3001 is mixed directly into the screed, render, or concrete. It becomes a permanent part of the substrate's mass material.

Once mixed, the agent reacts chemically with the calcium silicate hydrate in the cement. This process lines the internal pores with a water-repellent layer.

Crucially, 3001 does not block the pores. This allows the material to remain vapour-permeable (it can "breathe"), but it fundamentally changes the surface energy of the capillaries.

Instead of water being sucked in, it is actively pushed out. 

It  emits zero VOCs once fully reacted with the substrate. This makes it compliant with the latest LEED requirements and suitable for indoor use.  In fact, it is one of the most environmentally friendly admixtures available.  

The solvent in Nanovations 3001 is simply water.  

In summary, 3001 Concrete Nano Sealer offers outstanding protection, sustainability, efficiency and economy.  Whether you’re sealing concrete or masonry, this product is a game-changer!
