.DESCRIPTION AND USES .

EpoxyShield

Concrete Etch is comprised of citric acid

crystals designed to provide effective cleaning and etching

for preparing concrete floors in garages and other

residential areas prior to coating. Concrete Etch removes

laitance and creates a surface profile to promote adhesion

of the coating. Concrete Etch is intended for use on bare

concrete surfaces. There is no benefit for use on

previously coated floors.

any oil spots or spills and wash floor with a suitable

detergent or degreasing solution and rinse thoroughly.

MIXING

For best results when using the Concrete Etch, the

concrete should be damp but free of puddles. Mix the

entire contents of the Concrete Etch granules with 2

gallons (7.58 liters) of water. Use a plastic sprinkling can

to evenly distribute the Concrete Etch solution.

.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .

APPLICATION

Scrub the floor with a stiff bristle brush and make sure the

floor stays wet during this process until you are ready to

rinse. In garages,pay special attention to the area where

the vehicle tires normally stand. Continue to scrub while

rinsing to ensure all contaminates are washed away.

Squeegee off excessive water or puddles and allow to dry

thoroughly.

For best results, clean a 10x10 foot (3x3 meters) sections

at a time. Completely wash, rinse, and squeegee each

section before moving on the next. When all sections have

been completed in this manner, then re-rinse the

squeegee the entire floor.

When the floor is dry, rub your hand on the concrete and

check for a white film. If a white dust or powder is

evidence, repeat the rinsing process being sure to

thoroughly scrub during the rinse. Once the concrete is

free of surface residue, you are ready to begin application

of the coating.
