Salt Neutraliser 5 L is a high-efficacy, water-based solution designed to eliminate visible salt efflorescence and block further salt migration in mineral-based building surfaces. Suitable for plasterwork, masonry, render, and stone, it stabilizes contaminated finishes and prevents paint and plaster detachment.
How It Works
Once applied with a brush or roller, the solution penetrates deep into affected surfaces, reacting with salt deposits and forming a protective barrier that reduces the risk of further crystallization.
Key Benefits
Reacts immediately with surface salts to halt damage and discoloration
Prevents further salt migration into plaster or finishes
Compatible with plasterboard, lime-based plasters, render, and masonry
Can be applied full-strength or diluted, depending on contamination severity
Extends the life of decorative finishes and reduces unnecessary replastering
Common Uses
Treating efflorescence on plastered interior walls to preserve finishes
Restoring previously treated walls where residual salts still appear
Preparing surfaces for plastering or decorating after rising damp remediation
Reducing maintenance costs by avoiding full-scale replastering or redecorating
Usage Instructions
Start by removing loose salt and debris from the affected area.
Thoroughly soak the surface with clean water.
Apply Salt Neutraliser evenly using a brush or roller—frothing may occur as the product reacts with salts.
Allow time for the reaction to complete; a light residue may remain and should be brushed off once fully dry.
If redecorating, rinse the area clean with water and ensure it is completely dry before proceeding.
Why Choose Salt Neutraliser 5 L?
This solution offers a reliable, cost-effective method to manage salt-induced deterioration without resorting to wholesale repairs. By neutralizing salt deposits, it helps safeguard interior finishes and improves wall durability—making it an excellent choice for contractors, restorers, and homeowners dealing with efflorescence or rising damp aftercare.
 
In summary - Wykamol Salt Neutraliser is an aqueous solution based on ethanoic acid with an added surfactant. It has been specifically developed to overcome the problem of salts in mineral building surfaces.
Due to rising damp, salts contained in the groundwater are absorbed into the masonry and subsequently into the interior plaster coat. The plasterwork should be removed and a damp-proof course (DPC) using Ultracure Damp-proofing Cream should be carried out. The masonry should then be treated with Wykamol Salt Neutraliser followed by a replastering specification with an appropriate salt-resistant product to prevent further damage, such as Wykamol Renovation Plaster or Renderproof.
