  Hydrophobic sealer for masonry release

  Efflock is about to release it's sister product called "Hydrophobic Sealer for Masonry". This new label will promote Efflock's lesser known function as a premium water repellent sealer for porous masonry. This sealer is a stand alone product, sold as a maximum concentrate that dilutes with water 9 times. This concept is in line with our goal to reduce plastic packaging, reduce transport costs and emissions, whilst providing toolbox convenience and the best economy. 1 litre of "Hydrophobic Sealer for Masonry" makes 10 litres of sealer, equating to around half the cost of existing equivalent sealers.

Many products attempt to mask the word 'acid' with "water based" and other jargon, and will often mask any unpleasant odour with a nice scent such as lemon. Regardless,  an acid pH is essentially what's required to dissolve the efflorescence.  Once efflorescence is cleaned, it is most likely going to return....
