// TECHNICAL PROFILE & FORMULATION SCIENCE

Chemical Purpose & Action

A specialised acidic cleaning formulation engineered for commercial concrete slabs, architectural block paving, and clay brickwork. Penetrates dense pores to dissolve carbonate efflorescence blooms, mortar smear, iron oxidation rust stains, and atmospheric grime. Rinses clean with hot water to leave pristine masonry.

Key Technical Advantages:
Inhibited acid formulation removes mortar smear without burning brick faces
Dissolves tough mineral efflorescence salt deposits from concrete
Lifts stubborn iron rust and bore-water irrigation stains
Important Surface Restrictions & Metallurgy Cautions

This formulation is NOT suitable for direct application on: Polished Marble, Limestone, Travertine, Raw Aluminium, Galvanised Metal. Contact with sensitive unlacquered aluminium or galvanised coatings may cause permanent chemical etching or discoloration.
