6. Efflorescence is a normal occurrence with concrete products and will dissipate over time?

Explanation

Efflorescence is a common phenomenon in concrete products where white or grayish salt deposits appear on the surface.

Over time, as the concrete continues to cure and weather, these salts will gradually dissolve and be washed away, causing the efflorescence to dissipate. Therefore, it is true that efflorescence is a normal occurrence with concrete products and will eventually go away on its own.
