NANO-BAU BETON ARCHITEKT is an innovative water-based impregnation based on nanotechnology, specifically designed to protect high-density concrete surfaces. This product effectively impregnates and hydrophobicizes smooth concrete surfaces in grades C25, C30, and C35. Our impregnation formula not only provides effective protection against the ingress of water and other contaminants into the concrete, but also protects the substrate from harmful substances such as salts and acid rain, which can lower the concrete's pH and lead to reinforcement corrosion, cracking, erosion, moss growth, and salt efflorescence. Our impregnation keeps concrete clean and free of dirt. An additional benefit of hydrophobic treatment is the improvement of concrete strength and increased frost resistance. In autumn and winter, when moisture in concrete can freeze, our impregnation prevents the formation of micro-stresses and micro-cracks, which can lead to damage to concrete surfaces. It's also important that our impregnator doesn't restrict the concrete's ability to breathe. Thanks to its effectiveness, our impregnator penetrates the surface several millimeters deep, making it resistant to mechanical abrasion. It can be used on walls, floors, and parking lots. NANO-BAU BETON ARCHITEKT hydrophobic impregnator is a reliable solution for anyone who wants to provide long-lasting protection for their concrete surfaces and keep them in excellent condition. Our impregnator guarantees durability and aesthetics. APPLICATION METHODS: Low-pressure spray (HVLP or garden sprayer), roller, brush, or immersion. COVERAGE: 10-15 m²/1L. Consumption depends on the application technique and the concrete's water absorption. PRODUCT APPLICATIONS: Walls and facades, parking lots and sidewalks, garden accessories and concrete structures, concrete slabs and floors, monuments, planters, and other concrete products. PROPERTIES: Protects concrete from efflorescence, dirt, and algae growth. Does not change the appearance of the concrete; does not grease. Non-slip and non-glossy. Reduces the risk of moss and algae growth. Does not close pores – the substrate continues to "breathe." Resistant to adverse weather conditions, including UV radiation. Protects against salt efflorescence resulting from water migration within the concrete. USE: Plan the impregnation so that it does not rain for at least 3 hours after completion. Always test it in an inconspicuous area first and check for the desired effect! Protect plants and all other surfaces not to be impregnated, especially glass and steel, with plastic wrap. If soiled, immediately clean the surfaces with a wet cloth or rinse with water. The surface prepared for impregnation must be clean and dry. Apply the appropriate amount of the product to the surface, preferably by spraying, but be careful not to create streaks. Apply only as much as the concrete can absorb. Any excess should be brushed or removed with a cloth. Allow to dry. NOTE! Apply one or two coats using the wet-on-wet technique. Rinse tools with running water. What are the functions and objectives of NANO-BAU Beton Architekt? Architectural concrete is an increasingly popular construction material, used in residential buildings, industrial facilities, and public buildings. To ensure its long-lasting durability and aesthetics, the use of appropriate protective impregnators is recommended. The ideal solution is the colorless NANO-BAU Beton Architekt impregnator, which is based on nanotechnology. Thanks to this application, the material is fully permeable to water vapor, meaning that the protected surfaces do not become airtight. Here are a few reasons why you should use this product. Moisture Protection: Architectural concrete is subject to the effects of rainwater and moisture, which can lead to streaks, salt efflorescence, and microcracks on the surface. The colorless NANO-BAU Beton Architekt impregnation penetrates deep into the surface, creating a hydrophobic barrier that sheds water and protects the material from moss, algae, and fungi. Impregnation keeps the concrete in perfect condition for up to 8 years. Stain Protection: NANO-BAU Beton Architekt impregnation creates a lotus effect on the concrete surface, protecting it from the penetration of various substances, such as acid rain, dissolved road salt, beverages or food stains, soot, and dust. This is particularly important for concrete surfaces exposed to high loads, such as parking lots and garages. Impregnation makes the concrete less susceptible to staining, prevents it from darkening, and makes it easier to keep clean. Maintaining aesthetics: NANO-BAU Beton Architekt is a colorless impregnation that does not alter the color, structure, slip resistance, or gloss of the concrete surface. This preserves the original aesthetics and finish of architectural concrete. Even after impregnation, the surface remains matte and natural, which is especially important for architectural elements of high aesthetic value, such as walls, facades, columns, or floors. Full vapor permeability: NANO-BAU Beton Architekt is fully vapor permeable. This means it allows natural water vapor exchange between the concrete and its surroundings, which is particularly important for structures that require a suitable microclimate, such as utility rooms or historic buildings. Thanks to this property, the concrete can breathe freely, which translates into its health and resistance to the growth of toxic fungi. Maintaining thermal insulation: NANO-BAU Beton Architekt guarantees the maintenance of dry walls, which is crucial for improving the thermal insulation parameters in buildings. It minimizes moisture content in building materials, maintains good vapor permeability, and prevents corrosion of reinforcement elements, erosion, and the growth of mold and fungi. All this contributes to improved energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and the durability of the building. Summary: Impregnating architectural concrete with the colorless NANO-BAU Beton Architekt nanotechnology impregnator offers many advantages. It provides protection against moisture, dirt, and microorganisms, maintains the concrete's thermal insulation and aesthetics, and is fully vapor permeable. This allows architectural concrete to retain its properties and aesthetics for longer, making it more durable. The NANO-BAU brand is the result of the synergy of the extensive commercial knowledge of Izabela Jasińska-Ryguła, who for years managed sales departments at renowned construction warehouses, and the advanced technological achievements of NANOBIZ.PL Sp. z o.o.
