Rempro Salt Neutraliser

Treatment & control of white salts

Rempro Salt Neutraliser is an aqueous surface treatment specifically developed to overcome the problem of white salts on mineral building surfaces from new render to old stone. It can be used on brickwork and masonry before rendering as part of a damp proof course.

An aqueous surface treatment specifically developed to overcome the problem of white salts on mineral building surfaces from new render to old stone.

Key Benefits

• Neutralises the action of salts to prevent or reduce efflorescence.
• Appliable to all mineral building surfaces.
• Used as a concentrate or in diluted form.

Due to rising dampness, groundwater salts are absorbed into the masonry and subsequently into the plaster coat. If the rising damp had been severe, the plasterwork could lose the key, and the presence of salts deposits can often note visual evidence of this problem. In such severe circumstances, the plasterwork must be removed, and replastering carried out following Rempro replastering specification or other appropriate specifications, which will prevent any residual salts in the base substrate from migrating into new plasterwork.

There are, however, many situations where the type of salts within the masonry are such that the plasterwork remains in good condition. In these cases, the Salt Neutraliser can be used, saving considerable time and expense by not having to replaster these areas.

There are many other occasions where even after replastering work, salt efflorescence can be seen on the new plasterwork. This often concerns that the damp proof course has failed, when in fact, in most cases, the efflorescence is due to other factors such as drying out, salts in construction, plumbing or rainwater leaks, condensation or salty bricks. Under these circumstances, Rempro Salt Neutraliser is an ideal product to treat the problem.

Directions

1. Brush away or remove all loose salts.
2. Thoroughly soak the affected area with clean tap water.
3. Apply salt Neutraliser by brush or roller to areas showing salts contamination. Under most circumstances, one coat or application will be adequate.
   1. Where heavy salting on old brickwork is being treated, use Salt Neutraliser as the concentrate (container strength).
   2. On new plasterwork or light salting, use Salt Neutraliser diluted with water up to 50/50 dilution rate.
4. Some frothing may occur, which is due to the reaction with the salts. Allow some time for the neutralising action to be completed. A white deposit may be left on the surface where original efflorescing has taken place and is sometimes difficult to remove.
5. 5. If re-decorating is applied on the treated surface, the area should be washed with water and allowed to dry. Do not redecorate at any time until the treated areas are thoroughly dry.

Coverage

1litre concentrate treats 5 to 10m².

Health & Safety

Refer to the product safety sheet and read the container label before use. Wear gloves and good eye protection. The odour is similar to strong vinegar but will rapidly dissipate with good ventilation.
