  Save building costs with Efflock

  Secondary membranes to control efflorescence are no longer necessary! Efflock is added to concrete mixes such as tile beds and grout to make them water resistant throughout the entire material. Without water able to enter these materials, efflorescence cannot occur. The labour and time savings are also a huge advantage. Please browse through our website to learn more.

  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...

  Trade feedback: Efflock used in render

  Efflock is ideal as an additive for render. Efflock is pictured here, specified by the builder in a bathroom renovation, as an additional barrier in the water proofing system. Ian the renderer used his preferred mix using 4 Sydney sand, 1 cement, with plasticisers of Bycol and renderer's clay. Even with renderer's clay in the mix, Efflock works. Ian was pleased with the workability of the mix, and the simplicity of adding just 1% Efflock to the gauging water to create water repellent walls!
