eFFloRescence Resistance wateR absoRption
Efflorescence has long been a common problem
associated with concrete pavers. Hanover ® Pavers were
tested in accordance with procedures outlined in ASTM
C67 Paver samples were placed n water for seven
days and showed no signs of efflorescence. The results
were astounding. Hanover’s LAMININ ®

UV Resistance
Hanover ® Prest ® Brick produced with LAMININ ® Paver
Infus on Technology provide superior resistance to UV
damage. Bricks were subjected to intense ultraviolet light
for 2000 hours, the equivalent of 15 20 years Hanover’s
