Where to Use: NANO1000 is ideal for use on any porous non-synthetic material. NANO1000 uses zero VOC nanotechnology chemistry with the nanometer-sized molecules bonding 100% below the surface (in the pores of material) to give a non-peel long lasting bond. The ideal uses include treating freshly installed stone, brick, travertine, concrete, grout, or any other porous stone and masonry materials. Do not use on top of other sealers, or painted surfaces. The finish is invisible and transparent once fully cured.

Surface Prep: Clean and Dry. Remove all the surface dirt, stains and residues preferably with a hot water pressure washer and appropriate cleaner(s) before you apply NANO1000. Use non-acid liquid detergents or bleach to remove dirt and surface residues. Prior sealers need to be totally removed with strippers or even media blasting as the preferred method. Allow the surface to dry completely before applying NANO1000 to the surface. NANO1000 is best used on new untreated surfaces and concrete should cure at least 28 days for maximum effectiveness.

Application: Shake Well. Use NANO1000 when the surface is Clean and Dry and air temps are between 40 – 100 degrees Fahrenheit. You can put it on with a high quality 3/8 -1/2” nap roller, nylon or polyester brush, or clean pump sprayer. Do not thin NANO1000 when you use it. Apply two coats “wet on wet” until the surface is completely saturated. For first and second coats, only apply NANO1000 to sections which are no larger than 10 square feet at a time to insure maximum penetration.

Dry Time: NANO1000 dries to touch in 1 hour, is safe to walk on in 2 hours, and cures fully in 7 days.
Clean Up: Use soap and water to clean up. Protect NANO1000 by storing at temperatures above 45° indoors. Graffiti
Removal: Use graffiti cleaner and pressure washer in the low to medium pressure range (1500 psi).

Coverage: Coverage shall range from 200 square feet to 600 sq. ft. per gallon, depending on porosity of surface.

• Average is 300 sq. ft. for natural stone depending on the density of the surface.
• Concrete: 250 sq. ft. Limestone: 300 sq. ft. Travertine and Slate: 600 sq. ft.
• Shelf Life: Use within one year of purchase date.

Some Important Instructions:

• Regular maintenance is best to keep NANO1000 effective longer:
• Softer surfaces being treated will naturally wear more rapidly than harder surfaces and if they are worn off may need to be re-treated to maintain effectiveness. Observe if the surface resists water penetration and if not, apply more NANO1000 in areas that do not resist water.
• High traffic areas may also need reapplication due to heavier use. If the surface is resisting water it does not need re-treatment. 
• Not intended to be used over sealers other than NANO1000, or surfaces treated with silicon or oil-based stains.
• Treated surfaces will be more slippery for 7 days following application. After 7 days, treated surface will be slightly slipperier than the original untreated surface.
• Do not use under water or for underwater applications.
• New concrete applications must be cured for a minimum of 28 days. Hydrostatic leak issues must be repaired before application.
• Oil and stain producing material spills should be cleaned up when they occur.
• Do not use acid base cleaners.
• Use household cleaners, degreasers or solvents to clean treated surfaces. Brushing and/or low pressure power washing may be necessary to clean stubborn areas. For tough stains, Acetone is effective.
• Areas prone to algae growth should be washed regularly to prevent build up of surface residue, on which algae can grow.
• Use on porous substrates which are clean and dry. Stains that are not removed prior to application of treatment will become permanent.
• Do not allow NANO1000 to splash onto plants or areas that are painted or may be painted in the future.
