Eco-Etch Pro™ Concrete Etcher & Cleaner Concentrate is a water-based non-hazardous, non-corrosive, biodegradable concentrate concrete etch and cleaning solution. It is the ideal acid etch alternative. This advanced formula incorporates a custom blend of surfactants, organic minerals and derivatives of a plant based extract for the most effective concrete etching solution available. It does not contain phosphoric, hydrochloric or muriatic acid, yet works better, safer and faster.
Eco-Etch Pro™ is the preferred eco-friendly and user friendly acid etching alternative for interior or exterior surface preparation applications. It will not burn skin, corrode metals, or harm vegetation.
Clean and etch concrete, masonry, cinder block, brick, mortar joints and grout to properly prepare substrates for optimum penetration and adhesion of stains, paints, industrial coatings, and sealers. Eco-Etch Pro™ also removes dirt, clay, mortar deposits, rust and efflorescence. A one step concrete etch and clean solution that brings back a new look surface. Highly recommended for use with SoyCrete™ Concrete Stain and Eco-Tuff™ Coatings for optimum porosity and desirable results.
Eco-Etch Pro™ begins to work immediately upon contact without toxic hazards or dangerous skin burns associated with traditional acid formulas. Eco-Etch Pro™ should be used in full strength or diluted up to 3:1 (makes up to 4 gallons) with water for lighter cleaning and etching requirements as pre-tested for proper efficacy.
One gallon will cover up to 200 square feet. Dwell time will vary from 5 to 15 minutes which is also affected by the dilution ratio, porosity, and temperature. Rinsing thoroughly with water neutralizes the etching action. Make sure the solution creates a reactive foam and remains wet during the etching process.

The Basics:
- Be sure the concrete is free of all sealers, curing compounds, and contaminants that prohibits reaction of Eco-Etch to the calcium and lime inherent in concrete. Pretest a small area to determine effective concentration and dwell time (5-10 minutes).
- White foaming must occur to confirm proper chemical reaction upon contact. Allow sufficient dwell time, keeping the solution wet to achieve desired profile level.
- After dwell time, scrub with a hard bristle brush, black stripping pad, or 60-grit sanding disc to deeply agitate the wet solution.
- Perform neutralization and cleaning of all concrete dust and residue with clean rinse water. Repeat as necessary to ensure all dust residue has been removed.
- You want to observe small micro pores in the concrete after completion. Lightly spray water in a test area to confirm water absorbs immediately and darkens the concrete. Repeat etching process and increase dwell time to ensure optimum profiling if necessary.
