It can be used on internal brickwork and masonry before applying render as part of a damp proof course. Salt affected plasterwork caused by rising damp must be removed, and re-plastering carried out following an appropriate re-plastering specification; however, in some situations such as when the plasterwork remains in good condition, a salt neutraliser can be applied directly to the original plaster, removing the immediate need for re-plastering. Rempro Salt Neutraliser is a water-based formulation designed to penetrate the surface of interior walls. It immediately reacts with the salts in and on the substrate, neutralising them. It also creates an insoluble barrier against further salt movement into the surface. To apply, brush away or remove all loose surface salts and thoroughly soak the affected area with clean tap water. Apply Salt Neutraliser treatment by brush or roller to areas showing salts contamination. On new plasterwork or light salting, use with 1:1 water. Approximately 1 litre covers 10 square meters depending on the substrate. Rempro is a family-owned company specialising in building chemicals for remedial control and prevention.
