Water Repel 101 | Concrete Sealer

Active Elements - Water Repel 101 is a water-based silane-siloxane product for porous construction materials such as concrete, bricks, blocks, stones, and mortar.  It forms an invisible protective barrier that bonds to the unsealed concrete stone or masonry surface.
Water Repel 101 impregnates and chemically reacts with masonry or cement-based materials to provide hydrophobicity and reduce water ingress in treated materials.
Water Repel 101 does not add thickness nor is it a topical sealer.  It will not make the surface glossy or change the appearance of the product to which it is applied. 
Water Repel 101 is solvent-free with small molecular structure silanes to impregnate the substrate.  The silanes react chemically and bond with the substrate which produces a durable hydrophobic treatment.
