Containing less than 9% hydrochloric acid in water and wetting agents, it effectively removes excess lime and laitance from power-floated or very smooth concrete surfaces, opening up the surface profile to significantly improve the adhesion of subsequent floor coatings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for use prior to all Bradite floor coatings, TA37 is a straightforward and effective way to prepare concrete floors that would otherwise be too smooth or non-porous for paint to bond correctly. With a coverage rate of 20m² per litre and no odour or tainting during use, it is well suited to both commercial and industrial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured under ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified management systems, Bradite Acid Etch TA37 is supplied ready to use and requires no mixing or dilution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eRemoves excess lime and laitance from smooth concrete surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpens up the surface profile to ensure subsequent coatings bond correctly and durably\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecifically formulated for non-porous and very smooth concrete floors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProven effective on surfaces that are otherwise difficult to coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo odour or tainting during application - safe and comfortable to use in enclosed or occupied environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnvironmentally considerate formulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied ready for use with no mixing or dilution required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArea\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExterior\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower-floated concrete floors prior to painting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery smooth or non-porous concrete surfaces requiring improved coating adhesion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBare concrete floors with excess lime or laitance present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial, industrial, and warehouse floors prior to application of Bradite floor coatings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMineral acid solution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoverage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 20m2 per litre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrying Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 to 20 minutes to react\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Coats\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo or more applications may be required depending upon the amount of laitance present.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication Method\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoft brush (do not use a sprayer)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClean Up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClean all equipment with clean water immediately after use for best results.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePreparation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsure the concrete surface is bare, clean, and free from oil, grease, and contamination\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean and degrease thoroughly using Bradite Industrial Degreaser TD39 or by steam cleaning prior to application\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not apply to painted, sealed, or previously coated surfaces\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplication\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not dilute - product is supplied ready to use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply evenly to the concrete surface using a soft brush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow 10 to 20 minutes for the acid to react with the surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo or more applications may be required depending on the amount of laitance present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce the reaction has taken place, rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water to remove all loose particles and soluble salts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinue rinsing until the surface shows a neutral or weakly alkaline pH when tested with litmus paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow the surface to dry thoroughly before vacuum cleaning to remove all dust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProceed with floor coating application once the surface is completely dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not spray - this product must not be applied by spraying under any circumstances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean all equipment with clean water immediately after use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAftercare \u0026amp;
