Why Protect Your Masonry
Brick, Concrete and other masonry building products are all-natural building materials that add beauty and value to homes and businesses. However, because these products are natural, some maintenance is required to keep the material sound and looking its best.
DRYLOK Concrete Protector with SaltLok
The most common complaint by homeowners is "What is the white material on my masonry and how do I prevent it?" The white material is a powdery mass of minerals called efflorescence. Efflorescence occurs when moisture moves through concrete or other masonry. The moisture picks up minerals, carries them to the surface of the masonry and leaves them behind in the form of tiny crystals on the surface as the moisture evaporates.
DRYLOK Concrete Protector with SaltLok
United Gilsonite Laboratories has developed a new product called DRYLOK Concrete Protector with SaltLok Technology. This product provides clear weatherproof protection against deterioration caused by de-icing salt, household cleaners, gasoline, oil, weathering and efflorescence.
DRYLOK's unique SaltLok Technology penetrates into the surface, providing superior resistance to unsightly efflorescence staining often visible on brick, block and poured concrete surfaces. DRYLOK Concrete Protector seals bare masonry surfaces, including concrete driveways, garage floors, basement floors, concrete sidewalks, block retaining walls, brick siding,/walkways, terrazzo, and slate surfaces.
