Just completed building your new home then it starts one of the most hated word in the construction industry Efflorescence.We now have a cure.

Remember next time ask your Builder

 " ARE YOU USING STOP SALT !!"  

Stop Salt acts both as a plasticiser and salt inhibitor.

Stop Salt is easily added during the cement mix.

One 5 litre Container is enough to build an average sized house.

Our RRP equates to £4.18 per 1000 bricks

Now there is a preventative on the market.

Insist that your builder uses STOP SALT.

 Efflorescence is a temporary surface discoloration common to all concrete products, and is caused mostly by the reaction of cement with water.

Manufactured cement contains free lime and when water is added a series of chemical reactions take place. These reactions result in crystalline deposits of water soluble salts on the surface of the brickwork. It appears as an overall white powder which seems to soften the color or is in concentrated patches.

Though cycles of wetting and drying cause efflorescence, these cycles are also part of its removal. Wind and rain working together gradually dissolve these deposits. Primary efflorescence can now be prevented with this new revolutionary product stop salt.

Salts enter the wall from various sources. New bricks seldom contain soluble salts but mortar and concrete have relatively high soluble salt contents. Ground waters that are naturally salt-bearing, can be drawn into base brickwork. A faulty damp proof course or a damp course bridged by mortar will allow the salts to migrate up the wall. Render which has been applied over a damp proof course can also allow salt to migrate up the face of the brickwork.

The amount of efflorescence that occurs is directly related to the amount of water in the bricks, and their drying time. The more water in the bricks, and the longer it is there, the more chance salts will have to dissolve in it and be brought to the surface as the bricks dry out. Water allowed to enter uncovered cavity walls during construction is likely to cause efflorescence so brickwork must be protected from water entry during construction.
