Why SEK Surebond Efflo Off Efflorescence and Salt Deposit?

Why Not Just Use Acid

Muriatic acid removes efflorescence by dissolving the surface it is sitting on. It works, and it also opens the paver face, dulls the color and can burn planting beds and hardware nearby.

Description
Efflorescence Without Reaching For Muriatic Acid
That white bloom on new pavers is efflorescence, mineral salt migrating out of the concrete. The traditional fix is acid, which also etches the paver and kills whatever it runs into. Efflo Off is a buffered concentrate built on organic salts and additives instead, so it lifts the deposit without the collateral damage.

Why Not Just Use Acid

Muriatic acid removes efflorescence by dissolving the surface it is sitting on. It works, and it also opens the paver face, dulls the color and can burn planting beds and hardware nearby. Efflo Off is formulated to release the mineral deposit chemically rather than eat the substrate.

  • Removes efflorescence, mineral and salt deposits. The white haze on new and older hardscape.
  • Biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Organic salt chemistry rather than mineral acid.
  • Also lifts general dirt and grime. So it doubles as a pre-seal cleaner.
  • Clean Rinse Technology. Residue rinses away with a pressure washer.
  • Compatible with Surebond sealers. When properly diluted.

Dilution And Coverage

Heavy efflorescence usually takes more than one pass. That is normal and it is cheaper than over concentrating and damaging the paver.

Form Concentrate, must be diluted before use
Coverage, diluted 100 to 200 sq ft per gallon
Repeat applications Often needed on heavy deposits or porous surfaces
Dilution ratio See the SEK technical data sheet for the ratio that matches your severity

Approved Surfaces

  • Concrete pavers and stamped concrete
  • Masonry, retaining wall blocks and concrete walls
  • Natural and manufactured stone
  • Tile, terrazzo and stucco

Where To Be Careful, Straight From SEK

  • Not for asphalt. Do not use it there.
  • Wet cast pavers. Sensitive surfaces can suffer color damage, test carefully.
  • Protect wood, metal and plants. It can damage certain woods, metals and planting around the work area.
  • It can damage existing sealers. Misuse will attack a sealed surface.
  • Always test first. Every time, on every surface.
