What efflorescence is, how to remove efflorescence and how to stop efflorescence from forming on concrete and brick.

1. What Is Efflorescence?
What efflorescence is, how to
remove it, and how to stop it.

2. Efflorescence
Efflorescence is a
deposit of soluble
salts, usually white in
color, which can
appear on the surface
of masonry or
concrete.

3. How Does Efflorescence Form?
Three circumstances must take place for efflorescence to
form (without all three, efflorescence can not form). The
circumstances are as follows:
1. Soluble salts must be present in the concrete or masonry.
2. Moisture must be present (moisture can be present in the
air, on the surface, or in the concrete) to pick up the
soluble salts and transfer them to the surface of the
concrete or masonry.
3. Evaporation or hydrostatic pressure must cause the
solution (salt and water) to move to the surface.

4. How To Remove Efflorescence
The most effective way to remove efflorescence
is with the Armor Efflorescence Remover by
Foundation Armor.
Unlike other cleaners, or the use of acids and
pressure washing, the Armor Efflorescence
Remover will remove efflorescence from the
surface and from DEEP within the pores of the
concrete or brick.

5. How To Stop Efflorescence
If there is moisture and salts
present, efflorescence will continue to form
UNLESS you seal the concrete or brick with one
of the following sealers:
1. Armor S2000 (enhanced sodium silicate)
2. Armor L3000 (enhanced lithium silicate)
3. Armor SX5000 (enhanced silane/siloxane)
