Eucon BK-E
EUCON BK-E is a ready to use liquid admixture used to control the unsightly occurrence of primary efflorescence on concrete masonry products. Primary efflorescence usually appears during the first 72 hours after production. As opposed to later age (secondary efflorescence), primary efflorescence results from internal moisture providing a pathway for salts to propogate to the surface. When exposed to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, this weak solution (of mainly calcium hydroxide) is converted to a white, powdery calcium carbonate. EUCON BK-E admixture complexes with these migratory byproducts of cement hydration and inhibits their ability to surface.
