Construction Desalination Middle East by Neoferma

Calling all structural engineers in the Middle East - look no further than Neoferma for the ultimate construction desalination solution. The Australian company is proud to have recently introduced to the overseas and local markets - Westox Cocoon - a corrosive salt removal poultice.

When it comes to construction in Saudi Arabia, fresh water for mixing with concrete can be hard to come by. More often than not, buildings in the Middle East are therefore infused with natural but structurally degrading minerals, like sea salt. This leads to buildings faults, even concrete cancer if not remediated. In cases such as these, engineers typically opt for the installation and maintenance of costly, intrusive cathodic protection.

Enter Westox Cocoon, supplied by Neoferma. In action, simply apply this poultice over the surface of the concrete, leave for 14 to 21 days, remove, then re-test the building's pH balance. Only reapply the poultice if necessarily, or until the desired results are achieved.

Westox Cocoon has been tested successfully in Australia on heritage homes for over thirty years. Backed by a White Paper, test reports, and feedback from local engineers, it is now proven to be ideal for modern concrete applications also.

Not least, Westox Cocoon is sustainable making it safe for prolonged use and not harmful to the environment. For more information regarding this innovative salt extracting poultice from Neoferma, visit neoferma.com today.
