Acid Proof Cement
Acid Proof Cement stain can be applied to new or old, plain or colored concrete surfaces. They are available in 10 basic colors. Although they are often called Acid Proof Cement, acid is not the ingredient that colors the concrete. Metallic salts in an Acid Proof Cement, water based solution react with the concrete to permanently color of the surface.With wood stain you can still see the grain of the wood through the stain, Acid Proof Cement is very similar to wood stain as you can see all defects or finishing marks through it. It is very important to condition these types of surfaces to accept the Acid Proof Cement. Surface conditioning is often the key to success. If it does not accept the water, it will certainly have to be conditioned. Sometimes, very dense surfaces must be conditioned twice.
Concrete acid stain finishes do not require much equipment for the application. The applicator usually uses a garden sprayer that is completely plastic. Some prefer a fine bristle brush or a combination of both. All equipment that will come in contact with the Acid Proof Cement, such as sprayers, must be resistant to Acid Proof Cement. Brushes to apply or spread the stain must be resistant to Acid Proof Cement, and also colorless bristles.Workers must have the proper safety equipment, including Acid Proof Cementresistant gloves, goggles, boots and masks to filter the Acid Proof Cement fumes. A good quality wet vacuum is recommended for cleaning. Golf spikes are also recommended because footprints will show through and create undesirable markings in the final appearance.
surface because it would deprive the concrete of the necessary minerals to react with the acid stain. A properly conditioned surface can be easily accomplished using EnduraPrep Concrete Surface Conditioner, a safe alternative to the typical acid etching.The substance we know as asbestos is a combination of six silicate minerals. Asbestos is used commercially for its “wonderful” physical properties, which were perfect for insulation and fire retardant coating. This set of minerals is also used in concrete, Acid Proof Bricks, fireplace cement, heating, acid resistant gaskets, fire-proofing drywalls, roofing, lawn furniture, flooring, dry wall joint compounds, as well as insulation in pipes, electronics, and ceilings. Asbestos is also used prominently in various industries related to ship building.
