The 3001 Concrete Sealer Concentrate is applied to the surface of existing concrete or masonry after it has cured. Both use the same hydrophobic technology but are designed for different stages of construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes 3001 Hydrophobic Agent affect the strength of concrete?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 3001 does not negatively affect the structural integrity or compressive strength of concrete.
