Crete-Prep is a penetrating concrete cleaner and renovator that quickly dissolves lime deposits, scale, rust, mortar, algae and mud stains from concrete interior or exterior without the dangers of raw muriatic acid. Crete-Prep contains no hydrofluoric acid, ozone depleting solvents or heavy toxic metals or chromates. Crete-Prep is the safe replacement for muriatic acid to clean concrete, unglazed tile, brick, even glass and aluminum frames to remove lime, scale, excess mortar, algae and stains prior to sealing or acid staining of concrete. This product helps to prepare concrete to insure reaction and penetration of our Concentrated Crete Stains. It also insures better bonding of spray textures and overlay applications. Warning, this product will open pores of most concrete and masonry surfaces. Its recommended use is for acid stain prep. Crete-Prep is the safe replacement for muriatic acid and produces no harsh or irritating fumes even in interior areas where raw muriatic acid produces chocking and corrosive fumes. It will not burn concrete and can be used at full strength on difficult stains and will not degrade the concrete surface or interfere with acid staining of the concrete. Crete-Prep works fast and efficiently with deep penetrating action that lifts off the stains with a minimum of effort and no excess product wasted. Crete-Prep is economical because it is a strong surface active penetrant rather than a harsh strong acid, it just does the job faster, with less labor cost and less product. You will save money and time all around. Crete-Prep will not attack most metals. Most metals accounted for on the job site are either aluminum or steel. Crete-Prep is highly inhibited against attack on these metals. It will brighten copper and brass, but will not corrode them if washed off. It should not be used on magnesium, galvanized metal, or stainless steel. Test plastic laminates before using Crete-Prep on them for best results. â–º Polyethylene or similar plastic sprayers and buckets are recommended for application. Do not use nylon brushes. For safety, always use goggles and protective gloves. â–º Depending on the type of stain or soil, Crete-Prep may be used full strength or diluted up to 1:3 with water â–º Apply Crete-Prep by brush, spray or dipping. For spray, use a very coarse spray pattern to avoid inhaling the mist an causing over spray. â–º Allow it to soak for several minutes. Agitate heavy soil or stains with a stiff broom, then rinse thoroughly with water. Repeat application may be required on some stains. http:// /crete_stain_color_chart (Crete-prep conrete acid stain prep cleaner. 1 gallon was posted and is owned by: Kathleen Jordan) |
