Rust-oleum 108402 Concrete Etching Solution 1 Gallon

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 108402 is a dual-action concrete cleaning and etching solution designed to prepare bare concrete surfaces for coatings. Applied before painting or sealing, it removes laitance and dissolves grease, dirt, and oil while simultaneously etching the surface to promote strong coating adhesion. The solution produces the texture of fine-grit sandpaper on the concrete, giving subsequent coatings a mechanical bond. It comes pre-mixed and ready to use, and covers approximately 400 square feet per gallon. This product is suited for trade professionals preparing floors for protective or decorative coating systems.

This etching solution is formulated for use on bare concrete floors in demanding commercial and light industrial environments. Typical applications include warehouses, light manufacturing facilities, and machine shops where concrete floors require preparation before applying protective coatings. The solution creates an immediate foaming action on contact with concrete, signaling active chemical etching. It is appropriate for use wherever concrete surface prep is required prior to coating application.

Installation Notes

Application should be performed by experienced contractors or trade professionals familiar with chemical surface preparation. Ensure the area is well ventilated before applying the etching solution, and wear appropriate personal protective equipment including chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Scrub the applied solution with a stiff bristle brush and rinse thoroughly with fresh water while continuing to scrub. Allow the surface to dry completely before applying any coating system.
