  Efflock to present to Master Builders Association - Manly Warringah Division.

  Efflock will be a guest speaker at tomorrow night's meeting of Manly Warringah Division of the Master Builders Association. Click on the link for details and to book. All are welcome to attend and building professionals can collect 2 CPD points for attending.  Efflock also presented to the Southern Highlands Division of the MBA in Goulburn last night. Despite a blackout making the presentation a bit of a challenge, the product received a great deal of interest from local builders, in particular for bathrooms and for building in saline environments.

  North Ryde train station stairs closed due to efflorescence.

  The Epping to Chatswood railway line was opened in 2009 at a cost of $2.3 billion. It appears that only four years later, the stairs adjacent to the escalators are no-longer useable due to efflorescence, and are barricaded off.  Estimated demolition/ replacement cost of stairs: $110,000.00  Estimated cost of Efflock for the entire twin flight of 75 steps: $320.00 As you can see, Efflock provides very economical protection. The water based formula is a green choice as it is a high concentrate, meaning less plastic waste. But best of all, Efflock ensures the intended service life of carbon hungry building...

  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! Above: Efflorescence appearing through porous grout joints.

  Efflorescence on ABC1's Gardening Australia:

    Efflorescence is such a common building defect around Sydney and Australia. Did anyone else see Gardening Australia last night? Above: Check out the efflorescence coming up out of the grout joints from the tile bed on these balconies just next to Costa Georgiadis as he reported from an apartment complex in Redfern, Sydney. There was a fair bit of efflorescence seeping from render as well during the story. Using Efflock is the very best prevention for efflorescence. So simple and very economical.

  Efflock testing: Boral Material Technical Services

       Photo showing Efflock testing samples in the first week of testing (very slight efflorescence is visible on the control samples without Efflock on the left). Efflock is currently undergoing independent testing at the Boral Laboratory in Baulkham Hills, Sydney. This test facility is the largest of it's type in the Southern Hemisphere and is well recognised. Efflorescence testing can take a little while to manifest, but I've just had word from the Senior Development Engineer, Tony Song, that they are beginning to observe more conclusive results, and Efflock does perform. As part of the testing, we have created...

  Are you trying to install a secondary membrane, but it keeps raining?!!

  Having Efflock in a tile bed means a secondary membrane to control efflorescence is no longer required. However, Efflock is proving very useful to a number of our customers who still prefer to install a secondary membrane on their tiled balconies as another line of defence.  An apartment block in Sydney with efflorescence stains from the top balcony streaming down the facade. The permeable yet hydrophobic effect of a tile screed containing Efflock means that a tile bed can expel moisture from the hydration process, whilst repelling any rain that comes along in the mean time. A screed containing Efflock is...
