How it works
Protection from within. Not a surface film.
Absorbs deep into porous surfaces, lining the pores with a water-repellent barrier while remaining breathable.
Unprotected
Protected
Freeze-thaw protection
Why winter destroys unprotected concrete
It freezes and expands
Freezing water expands by about 9%, creating internal pressure.
Cracks, spalling, pitting
Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can cause visible damage; deicing salts can increase exposure.
NanoProtect helps reduce liquid water absorption while allowing the surface to remain breathable.
THE LAST CONCRETE SEALER YOU'LL NEED
Engineered to penetrate deep into concrete and stone. Not a surface coating that peels.
36+ Months Protection
One application delivers proven years of deep protection — verified in real-world field tests.
Reduces Water Absorption
Penetrates pores and reduces how much water, oil and grime your concrete soaks up.
Less Pressure Washing
Your driveway stays cleaner, longer. Spend weekends doing what you actually enjoy.
Helps Resist Algae & Stains
Helps reduce algae buildup and resists common driveway stains over time.
Pet Safe After Curing
Water-based formula. Safe around kids and pets once fully cured.
Ultra-Low VOC · No PFAS
No microplastics. No PFAS. Independently third-party tested.
Helps Protect Against Freeze-Thaw Damage
Less water in the pores means less ice expanding inside your concrete.
Helps Protect Against Deicing Salts
Helps reduce the absorption of salty water that leads to scaling and surface damage.
The weekend cycle
Sound familiar?
You spent your entire Saturday pressure washing your driveway. A few months later — the stains, the algae buildup, the dingy look — they're all back. The cycle never ends.
- Stains return weeks after pressure washing
- Concrete absorbs water, oil and grime
- Surface coatings flake and look worse over time
- You waste weekends and money on repeat cleaning

How to use
Apply it yourself in 4 simple steps
1
Clean & dry the surface
Pressure wash and allow to dry completely.
2
Spray until saturated
Use a pump sprayer for uniform coverage.
3
Apply wet-on-wet
Apply subsequent coats while the surface is still wet.
4

Answers
Frequently asked questions
How long does NanoProtect concrete sealer last?
Ongoing field tests have passed 36 months on horizontal surfaces. Durability depends on substrate, preparation, application and exposure.
Will it work on my driveway, patio or pavers?
It is intended for absorbent, unsealed concrete, pavers, brick and suitable natural stone. Do not use on polished, non-absorbent or previously sealed surfaces.
Does it change the look of concrete?
It penetrates instead of creating a glossy topical coating. Always test an inconspicuous area.
How much do I need?
Plan around 135 sq ft per ready-to-use gallon for the recommended two-coat wet-on-wet method, or approximately 200 sq ft for one coat.
Is it safe around pets and children?
Keep people and animals away during application and curing. Follow the product label before allowing normal use.
Does it help with algae and stains?
By reducing moisture absorption, NanoProtect can help reduce staining and algae buildup over time.
Does it help with freeze-thaw damage and deicing salts?
It helps reduce absorption of water and salty runoff, which can contribute to freeze-thaw damage. It is not a guarantee against cracking.
