Abstract

The use of crystallization inhibitors for mitigation of salt decay in building materials was proposed for the first time about 20 years ago. Since then, research has been carried out to explore possible applications of crystallization inhibitors. This work discusses the potentials and limitations of mortars with mixed-in sodium-ferrocyanide, an inhibitor of sodium chloride crystallization, and provides an outlook for further developments.
