Efflorescence is a normal occurrence with concrete products and will dissipate over time?
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Efflorescence is a common phenomenon in concrete products where white or grayish salt deposits appear on the surface. These deposits are caused by the migration of water-soluble salts to the surface of the concrete as it dries. 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.Rate this question:
