Prime Hydrochloric Acid- 20L

Concrete Sealers - Prime Hydrochloric Acid- 20L

Prime Hydrochloric Acid (20L) is a powerful, industrial-grade cleaning and preparation solution designed for demanding construction, masonry, and maintenance applications. Typically supplied at a concentrated strength (around 30–33% hydrochloric acid), it delivers fast, effective performance for removing surface contaminants and preparing substrates for coatings or finishes.

Applications

This product is widely used to:

• Etch concrete surfaces to improve coating adhesion
• Remove efflorescence, cement haze, and mortar residues
• Clean and restore brickwork, masonry, and pavers
• Prepare exposed aggregate finishes for sealing
• Adjust pH levels in controlled industrial or pool systems
• Assist with general site cleaning and surface preparation tasks

Features & Benefits

• Delivers strong cleaning action to quickly break down cement and mineral deposits
• Improves surface adhesion by opening concrete pores prior to sealing or coating
• Removes stubborn build-up such as efflorescence, laitance, and construction residue
• Works efficiently on multiple substrates, including concrete, brick, and masonry
• Supplies consistent industrial strength performance for professional use
• Comes in a durable 20L container, designed for safe storage and handling
• Meets Dangerous Goods Class 8 requirements, ensuring regulated transport and storage
