Acid Etch

Acid Etch – Concrete Floor Preparation

Acid Etch is a concrete preparation solution designed to prepare bare concrete surfaces before painting. It works by removing surface laitance (a weak, dusty cement layer) and lightly etching the concrete to create a textured surface that helps floor paint bond more effectively.

Proper surface preparation is essential for achieving a strong, long-lasting paint finish. Acid Etch helps create a better surface for paint adhesion, reducing the risk of peeling, flaking and premature coating failure.

Key Features & Benefits

• Improves Paint Adhesion – Creates a textured surface that helps floor coatings bond to concrete.

• Removes Surface Laitance – Helps eliminate weak cement deposits that can affect paint adhesion.

• Prepares Smooth Concrete – Lightly etches suitable bare concrete to provide a better key for painting.

• Helps Prevent Paint Failure – Reduces the risk of peeling and flaking caused by poor surface preparation.

• Ideal for Floor Preparation – Suitable for preparing compatible bare concrete floors before painting.

Important Information

Acid Etch is intended for suitable bare concrete surfaces. It does not replace degreasing or mechanical preparation where required. Rinse thoroughly after treatment and allow the surface to dry fully before painting.
