Key specifications
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Base chemistry | Water-based, chloride-free — not acid-based; a non-hazardous alternative to hydrochloric acid etching |
| Application rate | 1L per m², applied with a plastic watering can |
| Application method | Dampen the concrete lightly, sprinkle the product over the surface, agitate thoroughly with a hard broom until frothing occurs, then remove the slush with a high-pressure water hose and allow to dry |
| Other properties | Non-corrosive to steel reinforcement; biodegradable; single-step clean-and-etch; removes light oil contamination and surface staining |
| Caution | Will etch and discolour aluminium and galvanised surfaces — mask or avoid contact with these |
| Pack size available | 5L |
Selecting the right option
Apply the etching solution to a damp concrete surface, scrub, and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Allow the surface to dry completely before applying Epirez primer or floor coating. Verify surface pH after etching and rinsing — alkaline residue will inhibit epoxy adhesion.
