Nanolia Concrete Protect™
Nanolia Concrete Protect is a truly remarkable, easy to apply and environmentally-friendly building material based on innovative Nanolia silicate technology. It is one of the highest performance forms of liquid glass, known in Germany as “Kalium Wasser Glass”.
Nanolia Concrete Protect penetrates deeply (some 3mm – 4mm) below the surface, reacting with the calcium present in the substrate to form an incredibly hard silicate structure that reinforces stone, masonry and concrete. It closes the pores and protects the surface with an extremely high resistance to chemical attack and abrasion. Treated surfaces are waterproof but remain breathable.
Suitable for all types of absorbent mineral substrates such as concrete, paving stones, floor screed, sand and cementitious materials, Nanolia Concrete Protect is odourless, free from solvents and easy to use. The coating dries out over 10-15 year and is permanent. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, it performs best in cementitious products with high calcium content. In particular, because it is an impregnating, hydro-phobic sealer it also protects porous building materials such as brick, tiles, concrete and paving against efflorescence.
Compared to Nanolia Stone Guard, It provides extra protection outdoors where freeze-thaw cycles may be a significant issue.
Compared to Stone Guard:
- Higher resistance to chemicals (especially acids)
- Penetrates deeper into the substrates because of lower viscosity
- Seals against water pressure to 0.3 bar
- Suitable for less absorbent surfaces
- Requires calcium in the substrate for best results
- Only hydrophobic, not oleophobic
- Does not form a surface film
- No visible change in the appearance of the treated surfaces
Applications:
- Protection of old and new concrete floors to all kinds of corrosive liquids such as salt water, water, wastewater, sulfuric acid, etc …
- Protection of concrete walls in tunnel s
- Prevent flaking of the surface by alternate freezing and thawing
- Suitable for garages, driveways, roof terraces, flat roofs, etc …
- Protection of concrete floors in animal enclosures against bacteria, mould and fungi
- Crack-bridging against water penetration
- Bonding of porous surfaces
- Primer to prevent paint chipping
- Waterproofing cement joints
- Protection and repair of pipelines and water storage containers
- Sealing of the outer surfaces of basements and walls
- For all areas with high chemical and mechanical stress
