PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
PREPARATION: Always test the surface to be prepared for previous coatings. This product will not work properly over coated concrete
surfaces and is not to be used as a chemical coating stripper. It is always recommended to test Armor ER100 prior to application for proper
dilution rates, application coverage rates, and simply to ensure there are no issues with compatability.
Protect all areas not to be cleaned and prepared. Mask off all adjacent surfaces with painter’s tape or plastic duct tape. Use a plastic or coated
cardboard as a spray shield. Plastic or polyethylene sprayers and buckets are recommended for application.
MIXING: Dilute material with water to desired dilution rate. Pour cold water into mixing pail, then add Armor ER100. Do not mix with warm
or hot water.
APPLICATION: Pre-wet the surface to be cleaned. Using a acid-resistant polyethylene pump-up sprayer, apply diluted material to the surface.
Work in small areas, covering the entire working surface not leaving dry areas or spots. Overlap sections prior to moving on to remaining areas.
Allow 5-10 minutes for proper reaction, then by use of an acid resistant brush, work cleaner into the surface. Rinse thoroughly with water. Re-
peat until floor is clean and free of all material. When possible, high pressure 500-1000 psi rinsing is recommended for best results. Make sure
a final rinse of a water/ammonia blend solution to neutralize the surface for proper pH level is applied. Remove standing water with a wet vacu-
um.
Clean all equipment and tools with a warm soap and water solution. Allow the area to dry 18-24 hours to make sure the surface is bone dry and
prepared for most any stain or coating application.
Use warm water and soap. Dispose of containers in accordance with local and federal regulations.
N/A.
 Do not allow Armor ER100 to dry into the concrete or hardscape surface as an excess acidic residue may be left.
 Efflorescence Cleaner can freeze during storage. Storage in area between 50 F and 85 F recommended.
 All HVAC ventilation ducts should be somehow blocked prior to application so acidic fumes are not distributed.
 Armor ER100 is corrosive. Proper protection should be worn during application.
 Do not apply Armor ER100 over sealers, coatings, or floor adhesives.
 Coverage rates depend upon many conditions including application method, surface porosity, and applicator.
 Armor ER100 was designed for interior concrete, exterior concrete, and masonry hardscape surfaces only.
 Be aware that using this product will etch concrete surfaces. Overuse could result in slight discoloration.
