Hi everyone,
My company is a manufacturer of Magnesium Oxide based cement, Our products are mainly interior and exterior moldings.
For the exterior moldings, however, we haven't been able to find a solution for the effloresce problem that occur to most cement products.
From my research, I have found that many have used
Electrochemical Chloride Extraction (CE)
this method are used to extract Chloride from cement based material to prevent corrosion on the metal reinforcement.

I have read an article that say using a very similar method on Magnesium based products can result minimizing effloresce on the product during its usage. However, they do not indicate how is it being done.
I wonder if there is a way of implementing a similar technology to our manufacturing process to prevent effloresce on our products.
