    Fosroc Acid Etch*

    Concrete remover, cleaning and etching


    agent
    Uses

    Cleaning small tools

    For the removal of mortar and plaster runs, droppings and


    stains from brickwork and concrete surfaces. Also for removal
    of hardened concrete from tools, machinery and equipment,
    or rust and mill scale from steelwork.
    Advantages

    n Rapid concrete etching action


    n No corrosive action with glass, plastic, rubber and most
    base metals
    n Cleans hardened concrete from tools and mechanical
    equipment
    Description

    Fosroc Acid Etch concrete remover, cleaning and etching


    agent, is a combination of acid based material, corrosion
    inhibitors and dispersing agents and is supplied as a clear
    green solution.

    Use Fosroc Acid Etch as a dip. The tools should be soaked


    overnight, then taken out and washed with clean water to
    remove all loosely adhering materials. Care should be taken to
    avoid prolonged contact between Fosroc Acid Etch and zinc
    or aluminium parts of tools, such as rivets, etc.
    Cleaning concrete floors
    Pre-wet the floors, then, using a stiff bristle broom, brush the
    affected areas with a solution of Fosroc Acid Etch and water.
    Strength of the solution required will vary but should be
    between 1:1 and 1:4 Fosroc Acid Etch to water. When the
    action has finished, wash down thoroughly with clean water.
    Oil or grease should be removed by treatment with a suitable
    chemical degreaser followed by water or steam cleaning. Where
    heavy contamination occurs, as in garages or workshops, pretreatment with Fosroc Acid Etch assists in freeing oil or grease
    and renders the action of the degreaser used more effective.

    Instructions for use

    Cleaning brickwork and rust stains from concrete

    Fosroc Acid Etch

    A small trial area should be cleaned first to determine the most


    suitable Fosroc Acid Etch dilution. Pre-wet the surface, then,
    using a sponge, rub the affected areas with a solution of Fosroc
    Acid Etch and water. Strength of the solution required will
    vary but should be between 1:1 and 1:4 (by volume) Fosroc
    Acid Etch to water. When the action has finished, wash down
    thoroughly with clean water. As treatment with Fosroc Acid
    Etch can alter the surface finish of concrete, the minimum
    concentration necessary for effective removal of stains should
    be employed. The surface should be washed down with water
    immediately treatment is complete.

    After wire brushing to remove loose material, apply a solution


    of Fosroc Acid Etch and water using a soft broom or brush
    and leave to act for 20-40 minutes. Strength of the solution
    required will normally be between 1:1 and 1:4 Fosroc Acid
    Etch to water. Wire brush again to remove remaining loose
    material and finish by thoroughly washing down with clean
    water. Repeat if necessary.
    Spillage
    Spillages should be hosed down with plenty of water.
    Caution
    Fosroc Acid Etch is acid based and should be handled with
    care. Acid vapours from undiluted product can damage nearby
    surfaces, notably causing rusting of unprotected steel. If in
    doubt about its effect on a material, test a small area before
    general application.

    Cleaning large items of equipment

    Technical support

    (Examples are readymix trucks, concrete mixers or barrows).

    Fosroc offers a comprehensive range of high performance,


    high quality flooring, jointing and repair products for both
    new and existing floor surfaces. In addition, Fosroc offers a
    technical support package to specifiers, end-users and
    contractors, as well as on-site technical assistance in locations
    all over the world.

    Fosroc Acid Etch should be liberally applied to the deposits


    by a soft broom and allowed to soak overnight if possible. If
    the surfaces of the deposit can be cracked by mechanical
    means this will speed up the operation. In severe cases more
    than one application may be necessary. On completion,
    dissolved deposits and loose material should be brushed and
    washed away with clean water.
