Concrete and pavers wither built-in moss and algae prevention from Nanovations

The development of algae and moos is the most common reason for the cleaning and the protection of pavers with water repellent products.

A product which presents a new way to fight microbial growth on concrete is Nanovations 3001. Instead of a surface application, the product is added to the concrete mix during the production of the pavers or other concrete parts.

The environmentally friendly solution controls the moist and water content of the manufactured part. The results are pavers that only hold very little water, not enough to create the moist environment necessary for moss and algae to grow

The protective function works through the complete thickness of the manufactured part, is permanent and can’t be worn off.

In addition, Nanovations 3001 offers an extremely effective efflorescence and salt protection.

3001 reduces maintenance cycles and water usage for cleaning and surface preparation usually required if a surface is sealed with conventional products.

Together with the possibility to avoid the environmental hazard of solvent based penetrating sealers, 3001 is one of the most significant developments for green building designs and an excellent answer for water restricted areas.
