Description & Use
Consolideck® SafEtch is an effective, safe
alternative to traditional acidic compounds for
cleaning and preparing horizontal concrete for
densifying and hardening.
SafEtch™ rids concrete of embedded oil, grease,
efflorescence and dirt. The cleaner also dissolves
a small amount of surface cement, while leaving
the aggregate untouched. That mild “etch”
creates greater surface area, for more complete
penetration and effectiveness of the hardener/
densifier -- or any other protective treatment. It’s
ideal for projects where traditional acidic cleaners
are not allowed.
Non-fuming SafEtch™ contains no hydrochloric or
other traditional inorganic acids and is safe for use
on and around most metal surfaces. Additionally,
it is up to 70 percent more effective than citric
and glycolic acids, and 50 percent more effective
than phosphoric acid.
