Permanently prevent efflorescence in concrete with Nanovations

Efflorescence is widely known as an aesthetic problem of concrete, brick and block masonry facades and can be a real eyesore in the long term visual performance of colored concrete masonry and pre cast panels, facades and pavers.

Over the years, great deals of research have been dedicated to analyzing the persistent problem of efflorescence in manufactured concrete products.

A new solutions and a milestone in the prevention of efflorescence represents a new multi functional product available from Nanovations Pty Ltd.

3001 is a product that controls how water penetrates and also evaporates in concrete. Its unique combination of water repellency and high water vapor permeability, and its ability to be added like a additive to a concrete mix has following advantages:

• 3001 in concrete is able to stop the transport of liquid water, within the cured concrete or masonry. Rising damp will not appear. Permeable to water vapour.
• Improves curing activities of concrete - reduces the risk of fast water loss.
• Prevents washout efflorescence and discoloration of colored concrete parts during storage and transport.
• Significantly reduces the ingress of liquid water and any dissolved salts that the water may carry. 3001 improves the salt resistance.
• Prevents from primary efflorescence occurring during hardening of the concrete.
• Protection against secondary efflorescence from the weathering of the hardened concrete.
• 3001 is a permanent solution and works through the complete thickness of the concrete part or masonry. Surface abrasion does not reduce the function.
• 3001 offers additional properties like low water absorption, frost and thaw resistance and reduces the appearance of moos and algae.
• 3001 is economical and can be used in mass production manufacturing lines for pavers, bricks and concrete roof tiles without any modification of the machinery.
• The use of sealers can be avoided or reduced.*

* 3001 and it's multifunctional properties can replace common penetrating surface sealers in situations where normally a sealer would be used like against discolorations, efflorescence, moss algae, water absorption, salt damages and transport and storage issues.
