  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!

  Efflock test with salt water samples

  We've put Efflock to the test with exactly what you should not do to concrete! Pictured are two samples of 4 sand: 1 cement each made with 140mls of straight sea water from Coogee Bay off the coast of Sydney. They have been cured and placed in a dish of water to test their water repellency. In the foreground is the Efflock sample. Even with salt water in the concrete mix there is clearly no wicking effect! Without water able to dissolve salts and free lime, efflorescence cannot occur.
