Anti Eff Efflorescence Remover for Pavers - Stone and Paving Care - Environex - Image 1
1 / 3
Description

Anti Eff is an Environex acid efflorescence remover for pavers and masonry blocks that also lifts grout haze and mortar residue. In 1 L, 5 L or 15 L.

What it does

Efflorescence is the white, powdery salt bloom that comes up through new pavers, block walls and mortar. Environex formulated Anti Eff to dissolve it, and it also clears grout haze and mortar smears. The SDS gives nitric acid at 30 to 60 per cent with phosphoric acid at 10 to under 30 per cent: a strong acid and oxidiser with a pH under 1.

Where to use it

Most concrete and clay pavers and masonry block, on driveways, courtyards and new walls, cleaned down after laying. Not for bluestone, travertine, marble or limestone composite products. See the whole stone and paving care range, and neutralise with Refresh.

How to use

  1. Wear safety glasses, gloves and boots; it may damage clothing.
  2. Dampen the surface with fresh water first.
  3. Dilute 40 to 65 mL into each litre of water in a plastic watering can, always adding acid to water.
  4. Treat 3 to 5 m² per batch. Work it gently with an Eager Beaver pad while it fizzes, for 2 to 3 minutes and no longer.
  5. Rinse before it dries. Neutralise with a capful of Refresh to every 5 to 10 L of water, followed by a clean water rinse.

Safe on / avoid

Most pavers and masonry blocks. Not bluestone, travertine, marble or limestone composites. A stronger mix or longer contact will damage the surface, so keep to the rate and time and trial a hidden spot. Keep it away from metals, combustibles and alkalis. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
