3001 Hydrophobic Agent Admixture 6 Litre




- Description
Forget water repellent sealers. Create a permanent water repellent bulk material instead. Added directly to any cement based product during the mixing process, this highly effective hydrophobic agent becomes a permanent part of the cement matrix . 3001 protects the entire depth of the material, not just the surface. It maintains a water-repellent barrier even if the surface is scratched, damaged or worn off. Easy to incorporate during the initial batching and mixing process for uniform results.
3001 is designed for the seamless and the permanent integration of hydrophobic water repellent effects into any cement-based material and for the permanent hydrophobic bulk impregnation of cement-based construction materials. 3001 stops water ingress, efflorescence , rising damp, reduces moss, algae, and surface discoloration at the source. Perfect for sand-cement screeds, renders, mortar, roof tile mixes, grouts, concrete masonry and precast concrete.
Product Preparation and Application:
Dilute: Mix 1 part 3001 with 100 parts of clean tap water (1 % of the water volume )
Mix: Use this solution as your batching water and add to your dry mix (screed, render, mortar , sand cement screed or concrete etc.) Allow the material to cure as normal.
For more details download the technical data sheet. This item is 6 x 1 litre container. This is enough to add a water repellent mass hydrophobic effect and full efflorescence protection to approximate . 4 cubic meter of mix or 5.20 cubic yard of bulk material. ( Based on 30 to 40 gallons water / cubic yard ) If you want to protect a 2.5 cm thick tile screed or render from water intake, this would be enough to treat 160 m2 or 1800 sq. ft . Not a bad deal for $0.40 / sq. ft.

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, efflorescence, 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:
- Dilute: Mix 1 part 3001 with precisely 100 parts water.
- Mix: Use this solution as your gauging water for your dry mix (screed, render, or concrete).
- Cure: Allow the material to cure as normal.
The Result: Within 24 hours, your substrate becomes fully hydrophobic. See the difference below:

Dilution Reference Table: 3001 Concentrate
The following table provides standardized formulations for diluting 3001 with varying volumes of water:
| 3001 HA | Water Volume | Total Yield |
| 100 ml | 10 Litres | 10.1 Litres |
| 500 ml | 50 Litres | 50.5 Litres |
| 1 Litre | 100 Litres | 101 Litres |
| 2 Litres | 200 Litres | 202 Litres |
| 10 Litres | 1000 Litres | 1010 Litres |
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!
Here is how it works:
Dilute one liter of concentrate with 100 liter of clean tap water. You end up with 101 liters of ready to use product.
