Using EffBOMB in the Canadian climate

Efflorescence is common across Canada in spring as moisture and de-icing salts move through pavers and concrete. Clean it with EffBOMB, then seal with a breathable sealer such as Break Wall or 40SK to reduce water uptake.

Safety

Wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Avoid skin contact, inhalation and ingestion. If in eyes, rinse with clean water and seek medical attention. Always follow the SDS.

EffBOMB FAQ

What causes efflorescence?

Water carries soluble salts to the surface of concrete, pavers or masonry; as it evaporates, white salt deposits remain.

Will efflorescence go away on its own?

It can fade over time, but EffBOMB removes it quickly so you can seal.

Can I seal over efflorescence?

No. Remove it first or the sealer can lock in the white haze. Clean with EffBOMB and let the surface dry.

How do I dilute EffBOMB?

10:1 water to EffBOMB through a downstream injector, or 8:1 to 4:1 by hand.

How much area does EffBOMB cover?

1,000-6,000 sq ft per 5 gal pail, depending on dilution. Weaker downstream mixes (10:1) go further; stronger 8:1 to 4:1 hand mixes cover less.

Is EffBOMB an acid?

It is a safer acid alternative, easily neutralized with baking soda or dish soap.

Is it safe around plants and glass?

Yes, when used as directed.
