Industry Applications

What is Efflorescence?
Efflorescence means powdery or crystalline deposit on  masonry / concrete wall. Crystaline Deposit may be shade of white, brown, gray, or yellow  appeal on walls.
 
Root Cause of Efflorescence on walls when water present in the building surfaces dissolves certain salts and migrates to other areas, leaving behind salty deposits as it evaporates. Efflorescence cleaning is a major problem when it comes to concrete surfaces. 
 
Concrete efflorescence can be triggered by faulty waterproofing, humidity, rain, and condensation. While exterior efflorescence is tricky enough, treating interior efflorescence is considered even more challenging.
