Applications & Trade Use

  • ⚡ Maximum-Strength 28% Concentrate – Heavy-duty hydrochloric acid technical grade formula rapidly breaks down severe mineral scale, heavy lime deposits, and thick rust matrices.
  • 🧱 Effortless Cement & Mortar Stripper – Instantly dissolves cement splashes, mortar smears, efflorescence, and masonry stains from brickwork, stone, scaffolding, and cement mixers.
  • 🏗️ Professional Concrete Floor Etching – Opens concrete pores on unsealed factory floors, providing superior surface profiling for epoxy paints, polyurethane sealers, and coatings.
  • ⚙️ Industrial Equipment Restoration – Rapidly flushes heavy internal scale, rust crusts, and mineral build-up from industrial pipework, boilers, heat exchangers, and cooling towers.
  • 📦 High-Volume Yield Economy – Highly concentrated trade formula enables custom dilutions for routine descaling or heavy surface restoration, delivering maximum cost savings.

How to Use

  • 📋 Commercial Application Guide:
  • 💧 Concrete Etching & Floor Preparation: Dilute 1 part Hydrochloric Acid 28% to 4–8 parts cold water depending on concrete density. Apply evenly using an acid-resistant container or watering can. Allow 10 to 15 minutes contact dwell time until fizzing stops, scrub lightly with a stiff deck brush, and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Allow to dry completely before applying sealers.
  • 📋 Brickwork Mortar & Cement Removal: Dilute 1 part Hydrochloric Acid 28% to 2–4 parts cold water. Brush or spray onto affected brickwork, allow contact dwell time to dissolve mortar, agitate stubborn deposits, and rinse off thoroughly with high-pressure fresh water.
  • 📋 Heavy Industrial Descaling & Rust Stripping: Dilute 1 part Hydrochloric Acid 28% to 2–5 parts cold water or circulate through equipment systems. Flush thoroughly with fresh water post-cleaning to neutralize acid residues.
  • ⚠️ CRITICAL CHEMICAL WARNING: DO NOT use on stainless steel, aluminum, zinc, brass, copper, marble, limestone, or polished granite. NEVER mix with bleach, sodium hypochlorite, or chlorine-based products.
  • 💧 Precision Dosing Pump Guide:
  • 💧 For controlled dispensing: A compatible 30ml dosing pump is available for selected container variants. Depress your matching 30ml precision dosing pump systematically directly into your mixing bucket or sprayer. Utilizing this matching pump upgrade helps reduce open-pour handling, supports controlled measuring, and ensures controlled dispensing every single time.
