NO MORE EFFLORESCENCE PROBLEMS

Efflorescence is a salt deposit on the surface of the concrete. White deposits form because of the reaction of Ca(OH)2 with CO2, which is typical carbonation of concrete. When water percolates through poorly compacted concrete, concrete with cracks or a highly porous concrete, an evaporation takes place from the surface of the concrete. Kalmatron® KF-A produces complete hydration and oxidizes the metal containing elements in the concrete. The result is a higher cementitious value to the cement grain, with lower shrinkage and an orderly capillary porous system consisting of 97% micro pores and 3% macro pores. The denser, water-tight concrete will have greatly reduced cracks and little to no efflorescense. More technical information on a multitude of benefits achieved with KF-A can be reviewed by viewing How Kalmatron® Works.
