Etch n' Clean for Cleaning and Profiling Concrete Surfaces, 1 Gallon

Concrete floors require preparation before applying a paint, high - performance coating system, stain or a concrete sealer. The preparation usually involves cleaning the surface to remove oil and other unwanted impurities then "profiling" the concrete by etching with acid or by mechanical abrasion. If the concrete does not have heavy oil matter, The Original Color Chips Floor Coating System Etch 'n Clean will provide both the cleaning and the profiling in one operation. For optimized performance, dillute the etch 'n clean in a 1 to 1 mix ratio with water. (1 gallon of etch 'n clean with 1 gallon of water). This will give you 2 gallons of solution to work with. (500+ sq/ft feet). If the concrete has been steel-trowelled, the surface will be very smooth. This finishing technique works fine cement particles to the surface creating a very hard, dense finish. Steel-trowelled floors may require multiple applications to achieve the desired profile.

• CONCRETE: Cleaning, degreasing and profiling the surface to prepare it for coating, staining or sealing.
• MASONRY, BRICK: Cleans mortar joints, removes excess mortar and dissolves efflorescence.
• STEEL: Cleans, degreases, derusts and creates a phosphate conversion coating.
• GALVANIZED STEEL: Removes the passivation film on galvanized steel to improve coating adhesion.
• CONCRETE ADVANTAGES: Etch 'N Clean reduces preparation time by eliminating the separate pre-cleaning and rinsing operation before acid etching.
• Etch 'N Clean is ideal for use in areas with limited ventilation such as basements, swimming pools, containment areas and pits.Etch 'N Clean is odorless, non-flammable and is safe to use near vegetation.
• Etch 'N Clean has no acidic vapors eliminating the accidental corrosion of ductwork, electrical contacts in machinery and equipment and other sensitive parts.
