A new solution in the permanent prevention of efflorescence is represented by a new multi functional product available from Nanovations.
3001 is a product that controls how water interacts with concrete.
3001’s combination of water repellence and high water vapour permeability and its ability to be added like an additive to a concrete mix has the 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. 3001 is permeable to water vapour
- Improves curing activities of concrete - reduces the risk of fast water loss
- Prevents washout efflorescence and discoloration of coloured 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
- 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. Works with any water cement ratio and dry cast hydraulic pressed masonry
