| What is Efflorescence?
Efflorescence is that white powdery stain that makes expensive, exterior
masonry and grouting look like the building has grout that is weeping
all over the building. The efflorescence comes not from the stone but
from the mortar or grout and is indicative of water leakage. EZKleen
CSP attacks the calcium (cal cades) and weakens their hold on the stone
without harming the stone itself.
Seal and Protect:
In order to ensure that cleaning the masonry never again needs to take
place, the masonry is sealed with PWP (Penetrating Weather Proofer)
clear penetrating water repellent. This treatment does not alter the
color or texture of the surface nor affect the vapor transmission qualities
of the substrate. When PWP is applied, the solution penetrates the substrate
and reacts to create a powerful barrier against water penetration. This
barrier is not sensitive to ultraviolet and weather deterioration like
some other water repellents. PWP resists water intrusion, stain damage,
and freeze thaw spalling, as well as efflorescence, fungi, mildew and
rust.
Other Applications:
Our Concrete Restoration System offers solutions for the repair of damaged
concrete, the chemical cleaning of concrete buildings, sidewalks and
drive-throughs, and the permanent sealing of concrete for shopping malls,
restaurants, banks and anywhere that concrete and masonry is a maintenance
issue. Our process is gentle on concrete and masonry as opposed to heavy
pressure washing that is damaging to concrete and other processes that
etch or eat the top layer of concrete and shortens the useful life of
your expensive concrete surfaces. We have the total solution for cleaning,
repairing and protecting your investment in your concrete areas. Whatever
