Proper surface preparation is the true key to effective water damage protection for structures. Escofluat by Aquafin is a concentrated, solvent-free primer formulated to specifically improve adhesion and resist salt-induced deterioration, laying the foundation for improved waterproofing or coatings applications.

Escofluat by Aquafin


What Is Escofluat?

Escofluat is a top-performing salt conversion and adhesion primer for use in construction, restoration, and waterproofing. It addresses two essential surface problems:

  1. Salt Damage Control

 Escofluat neutralizes chlorides and sulfates found in masonry, converting them into insoluble or less soluble solids, preventing further penetration of salt and increasing the life of finish layers.

  1. Surface Bonding Enhancement

Performing the function of a primer, it provides the best adhesion for the next coatings or waterproofing layers, particularly important when dealing with damp, salt-damaged, or old substrates.

Important Benefits of Utilizing Escofluat

  • Solvent-Free & Eco-Friendly

Solvent-free Escofluat by Aquafin is safer and more environmentally friendly.

  • Highly Concentrated Formula

Effective coverage without wastage.

  • Dual-Purpose Function

Restorative and priming, transforming deleterious salts and readying the surface for coating in a single solution.

  • Smooth Application

It can be brushed on, suitable for masonry and plaster surfaces that require specific treatment.

Application Guide

For optimal use of Escofluat by Aquafin, use the following best practices:


Step

Method

Single Coat Saturation

Apply a 1:1 solution (Escofluat: water) until completely saturated.

Two-Coat Treatment (for areas with severe salt damage)

First coat: 1 part Escofluat to 2 parts water. Allow at least 7 hours. Second coat: 1:1 ratio.

Post-Application


After around 24 hours, sweep off any remaining powder or surface deposit.


Ideal Use Cases

  • Saltpath Restoration

Best suited to facades of buildings, parapets, or vintage buildings plagued with efflorescence or salt intrusion.

  • Pre-Coating Surface Treatment

Prepares the surface, making it ready to accept AQUAFIN waterproofing solutions like AQUAFIN‑1K or AQUAFIN‑2K/M—providing improved adhesion and enhanced waterproofing performance.
