Abstract

Crystallisation due to commonly occurring salts like sodium chloride (NaCl) is a known cause of damage in the built environment. Use of crystallisation inhibitors is a potential solution to reduce salt decay in building materials. Researchers have reported lower damage when sodium ferrocyanide (NaFeCN), a known NaCl crystallisation inhibitor, is mixed in fresh mortar. However, the high solubility of NaFeCN in water could make it susceptible to leaching and thus diminish its effect over time.
