EasyEtch Concrete Etcher & pH Reducer

Why should you Etch Concrete?

Concrete etching is often needed to prepare concrete floors for painting, sealing, or staining:

• Cleans concrete off efflorescence (white minerals), ground-in clay and dirt, and rust stains.
• Opens pores in hard-troweled concrete surfaces for penetrating sealers (like our RadonSeal or LastiSeal) or stains (LastiSeal Concrete Stain).
• Roughens the surface for better adhesion of paints and coatings.
• pH reducer – reduces high alkalinity of young concrete (up to 2 years old) which would “burn off” paints or stains.
