Description
One of the easiest cleaning and profiling agents available, SCR was formulated to be a product anyone can use.
Step 1. Depending on the surface you intend to clean, dilute cleaner to as much as four parts water to 1 part cleaner
Step 2. Dampen concrete surface prior to application of concrete remover cleaner.
Step 3. Apply mixed cleaner evenly across cement surface with a pump-up sprayer, being careful to maintain a wet surface.
Step 4. While cement surface is still wet, work cleaner into the surface using a nylon bristle broom.
Step 5. Before concrete cleaner can dry, rinse the concrete surface with hose or power washer and make sure all residue has been removed.
Note: Best results: Apply in temperatures above freezing and below 90°F (32°C).
General cleaning of concrete:
- Dilute SCR™ 2:1 with water (2 parts water to 1 part SCR™)
- Dampen concrete with water from a mist of pump-up sprayer or garden hose trigger nozzle
- Apply evenly 2:1 diluted product across a surface of the concrete.
- For best results are achieved by spraying from a plastic pump-up sprayer.
- While still wet with product, scrub concrete with a stiff bristle broom.
- Before SCR can dry, rinse with a garden hose or power wash with a fan-tipped pressure washer.
Clean Concrete surface preparation on exterior concrete before Overlay
- Dilute SCR 4:1 with water (4 parts water to 1 part SCR)
- Dampen concrete with water from a mist of pump-up sprayer or garden hose trigger nozzle.
- Apply evenly 4:1* diluted product across the surface of the concrete.
- Best results are achieved by spraying from a plastic pump-up sprayer.
- While concrete is still wet with product, scrub concrete with a stiff bristle broom
- Before SCR can dry, gently rinse with a garden hose or power wash with a fan-tipped pressure washer.
NOTE: stronger dilution rates may be required for an adequate profile. Some surface preparation may require other measures that should be evaluated (e.g. grinding, shot blasting).
Cleaning Interior Concrete
- Dilute SCR™ 2:1 with water (2 parts water to 1 part SCR™)
- Dampen concrete with water from spray mist of pump-up sprayer or garden hose trigger nozzle.
- Apply evenly 2:1* diluted product across the surface of the concrete. Best results are achieved by spraying from a plastic pump-up sprayer.
- While still wet with product, scrub concrete with black pad on a rotational floor machine
- Keep floor wet with frequent rinsing.
- Mop residue until rinse water is clear or utilizes water extraction equipment.
NOTE: stronger dilution rates may be required for an adequate profile. Some surface preparation may require other measures that should be evaluated (e.g. grinding, shot blasting).
Cleaning overlays and Paver, cleaning brick, before staining, coloring or sealing
- Dilute SCR 4:1 with water (4 parts water to 1 part SCR)
- Dampen concrete with water from the mist of pump-up sprayer or garden hose trigger nozzle.
- Apply evenly 4:1 diluted product across the surface of an overlay. Best results, spraying from a plastic pump-up sprayer.
- While still wet with product, gently brush surface with a soft bristle broom
- Before SCR can dry, gently rinse with a garden hose or power wash with a fan-tipped pressure washer.
Prepping Concrete Cast Pieces like countertops
- Dilute SCR™ 3:1 with water (3 parts water to 1 part SCR)
- Wet XS piece with water from pump-up sprayer or sponge.
- Brush or sponge 3:1 diluted product onto vertical edges of cast concrete pieces first.
- Spray or sponge 3:1 diluted product from the plastic pump up sprayer onto the surface.
- While still wet with SCR™, gently brush surface with a soft bristle brush.
- Do not allow the diluted product to stand on the surface, rinse immediately.
Cleaning stamping Mats, Tools, and Concrete Molds
- Dilute SCR™ 4:1 with water (4 parts water to 1 part SCR™)
- Dampen stamping tools or molds with water from the mist of pump-up sprayer or sponge.
- Spray 4:1 diluted product from plastic pump-up sprayer onto tools or molds.
- While still wet with SCR™, gently brush surface with a stiff bristle brush.
- Before SCR™ can dry, completely rinse the surface.
- For use by trained professionals that have read the complete SDS.
- SCR™ may be corrosive to some metals; ALL metals should be protected.
- SCR™ is not the best choice for surface preparation for DK or ColorTec coating systems. These systems require a CSP (Concrete Surface Profile) 1-3.
- Hard-Trowelled concrete surfaces may not achieve the appropriate CSP 1-3 profile by just using SCR™, in these cases shot-blast-ing or grinding is recommended.
