  All 3 bases are covered with Efflock

  The genius of Efflock is that it is compatible with all cementitious mixes, including off-the-shelf tile adhesives and tile grouts.  On a tiled floor, this means that all 3 layers that contribute to efflorescence can be protected - tile bed, tile adhesive and tile grout.  Look for our infographic instructions on the side of our drums for how to add Efflock to a tile screed. For proprietary kiln-dried bagged products, simply add 1 part Efflock to 100 parts of water to use as your gauging water. No secondary membrane required!

  Save building costs with Efflock

      Secondary membranes to control efflorescence are now obsolete and no longer required. Efflock added to concrete mixes such as tile beds and grout bulk impregnates the entire material to make them water repellant . Without water able to freely penetrate these materials, efflorescence cannot occur. The labour and cost savings are a big advantage, and bad weather is less of a worry with construction times. Tiles can even be wet-bedded using the Efflock system. Efflock is also ideal to mix with tile adhesive and grout which are also known sources of efflorescence. Installing a secondary membrane over tile...
