Efflock Concentrate (100:1 ratio) Yields 505 litres of ready to use product

Efflock is a solvent free, water based liquid additive for the bulk impregnation of cementitious building materials. Manufactured under a patented process to produce a very small and consistent particle size that creates capillary impregnation of concrete without filling the pores and capillary structure. This provides a hydrophobic effect whilst remaining permeable in order to release moisture.

Efflock provides a safe, invisible, and highly economical method of impregnating concrete against damp and efflorescence, and associated problems such as mould, algae, rising or lateral damp and concrete cancer. By making concrete hydrophobic, Efflock serves to create a cost effective additional barrier against waterproof membrane failures in many tiling applications such as bathrooms and balconies. Effllorescence can be effectively controlled without the need for secondary membranes. 

Efflock cures and chemically bonds to concrete in conjunction with the normal curing process, to provide long term protection by significantly reducing the ingress of water and any dissolved salts that the water may carry. Efflock also serves to prevent the ingress of liquid water carrying chloride ions that are detrimental to concrete.

Through bulk impregnation, concrete is protected throughout the entire mass and the performance is not affected by traffic wear or movement cracks.

Efflock is ideal for the following applications:

• Bathrooms and balconies to create hydrophobic tiles beds, tile adhesive and tile grout, to prevent ingrained mould and efflorescence

• Render and bricklaying mortar to prevent lateral damp, rising damp and efflorescence

• Superior concrete durability against waterborne contaminants, salt attack, frost attack and concrete cancer. 

Efflock can be safely added to proprietary cement based tile adhesives and proprietary tile grouts to improve their performance, without changing their appearance or affecting adhesion of subsequent materials or finishes.
