The main issue with salt efflorescence results from rising damp, which is common in older structures or even in more recent ones when there is direct contact between the foundations and the masonry. Creating a horizontal waterproofing barrier is the only precaution that helps prevent salt efflorescence and preserves the quality and safety of the building.
To prevent and control this problem, it is important to adopt certain precautions, such as waterproofing, in order to avoid salt efflorescence issues and preserve the quality and safety of the building.
The StoMurisol macroporous exterior protective mortar system controls the formation of salts within it so that they do not cause detachment as in conventional renders.
The StoMurisol Micro system is a solution developed to prevent and control rising damp, acting as a horizontal barrier against the penetration of rising moisture, preventing the subsequent reaction that leads to the formation of salt efflorescence stains. In addition, StoMurisol Micro has insulating properties that help maintain the structure’s temperature, reducing the risk of condensation and ensuring the durability and appearance of the building.
