Overview The Coo-Var Acid Etch is a special blend of acids and wetting agents that can be used to clean and 'etch' concrete and mortared floors. Also ideal for use on smooth surfaces such as power-floated concrete floors as it creates a 'key' and prepares the surface for painting when blasting and mechanical abrasion are not practical. It will remove all laitance and salts from concrete and renders. Simply use it as a diluted solution.
