The Concrete Cleaner

SCR™ is a concentrated combination of three commercial-grade cleaning products. SCR™ utilizes a detergent, degreaser, and hydrochloric acid to clean and prepare concrete for overlays, stains, sealers, and coatings. The SCR formula quickly dissolves mortar, scale, rust, algae, stains, and mineral deposits such as efflorescence. SCR is a stronger cleaner than citric acid and a safe alternative to muriatic acid, as it contains no toxic heavy metals, or ozone depleting solvents.

SCR™ will open the pores of the concrete and cement-based overlays aiding concrete coloring systems like reactive acids, water-based stains, and dyes. In addition, it assists in delivering a higher bond strength to exterior concrete acrylic sealers. Its multi-function, environmentally friendly properties include cleaning and preparing:

All SureCrete Overlays
Xtreme Series and D-FRC Castings
Removing Travertine Powder from Xtreme Series and D-FRC
Eco-Stain and Eco-Accent Applications
Application of Super, HS, ColorTec Acrylic Sealers
Removal of SureRelease and TruTique
Brick, Mortar, Paver, and Grout Surfaces
Porcelain
Vitreous China Surfaces and Fixtures
Stamp Tools and Molds

MIXING & APPLICATION

Apply in temperatures above freezing and below 90°F (32°C). SCR™ is a concentrated solution and must be diluted with water. Water and SCR should be premeasured before combining. DO NOT use a hose to fill water into SCR as it will create constant bubbling. Always tighten the lid thoroughly after use.

The formula for proper dilution should be Water: SCR

Example: 2:1 equals 2-parts water to 1-part SCR

QUICK FACTS

PACKAGING

1 gallon (3.8 L) jug

5 gallon (18.9 L) pail

MIXING RATIO

Varies by application: no dilution to

4:1 (4-parts water to 1-part SCR™)

SHELF LIFE Under normal conditions, when kept dry and moisture free, out of direct sunlight, the shelf life of an unopened container is twelve (12) months from the date of purchase. SCR™ should not be exposed to freezing temperatures, which may rupture containers. Rotate inventory to maintain products that are within limits.

COVERAGE

Varies upon substrate: 150 square feet per gallon (14 m² per 3.8 L)

Below, you will find the suggested dilution rates for the following applications:

Cleaning XS and D-FRC Casting Pieces
Cleaning Stamping Tools and Molds

GENERAL CONCRETE CLEANING

Dilute SCR™ 2:1 with water
Dampen concrete with water from the Mint of a pump-up sprayer or a garden hose trigger nozzle.
Apply evenly the 2:1 diluted product across the surface of concrete. Best results are achieved by spraying from an acid-resistant pump-up sprayer.
While still wet with product, rub concrete with a stiff bristle-broom.
Before SCR dries, rinse with a garden hose or power wash with a fan-tipped pressure washer.

SURFACE PREPARATION ON EXTERIOR CONCRETE

Dilute SCR™ 2:1 with water
Dampen concrete with water from the midst of a pump-up sprayer or a garden hose trigger nozzle.
Apply evenly 2:1* diluted product across the surface of concrete. Best results are achieved by spraying from an acid-resistant pump-up sprayer.
While still wet with product, rub concrete with a stiff bristle-broom
Before SCR dries, power wash with minimum 3,000 PSI (21,000 kPa) pressure washer equipped with a turbo-tip.

SURFACE PREPARATION ON INTERIOR CONCRETE

Dilute SCR™ 2:1 with water
Dampen concrete with water from the mist of a pump-up sprayer or a garden hose trigger nozzle.
Apply evenly 2:1* diluted product across the surface of concrete. Best results are achieved by spraying from an acid-resistant pump-up sprayer.
While still wet with product, rub concrete with black pad on a
rotational floor machine
Keep the floor wet with frequent rinsing.
Mop residue until rinse water is clear or utilize water extraction equipment.

CLEANING OVERLAY PRIOR TO COLORING OR SEALING

Dilute SCR™ 4:1 with water
Dampen concrete with water from the mist of a pump-up sprayer or a garden hose trigger nozzle.
Apply evenly 4:1 diluted product across the surface of overlay. Best results are achieved by spraying from an acid-resistant pump-up sprayer.
While still wet with product, gently brush surface with a soft bristlebroom
Before SCR dries, gently rinse with a garden hose or power wash with a fan-tipped pressure washer.

PREPPING XS PRECAST AND XS FACE

Dilute SCR™ 3:1 with water
Wet XS piece with water from pump-up sprayer or sponge.
Brush or sponge 3:1 diluted product onto vertical edges of XS pieces first.
Spray or sponge 3:1 diluted product from acid-resistant pump-up sprayer onto surface.
While still wet with the product, gently brush the surface with a soft bristle brush.
Rinse immediately. Do not allow diluted products to stand on the surface.

CLEANING STAMPING TOOLS AND MOLDS

Dilute SCR™ 4:1 with water (4 parts water to 1 part SCR™)
Dampen stamping tools or molds with water from mist of pump-up sprayer or sponge.
Spray 4:1 diluted product from acid-resistant pump-up sprayer onto tools or molds.
While still wet with SCR, gently brush the surface with a stiff bristle brush.
Before SCR dries, completely rinse the surface.

*NOTE: stronger dilution rates may be required for adequate profile. Powertroweled concrete may require SCR to be used straight. In some cases, proper surface preparation will require mechanical surface preparation (e.g. grinding, shot blasting), such as for ColorTec™ Coatings, DK Flake, and DK

Metallic systems.

SUITABILITY SAMPLE

Due to condition-specific sites, always prepare an adequate number of test areas. Wear protection system and include aesthetic suitable for products’ intended use. On-site sample approval is especially critical for a substantial, heavy traffic situation or custom coloration.

CLEAN-UP

Simply rinse with water.

DISPOSAL

Contact your local government household hazardous waste coordinator for information on disposal of unused products.

LIMITATIONS

For use by trained professionals who 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-troweled concrete surfaces may not achieve the appropriate CSP 1-3 profile by just using SCR alone. In these cases, shot blasting or grinding is recommended.

WARRANTY

Warranty of this product, when used according to the directions, is limited to refund of purchase price or replacement of product (if defective), at manufacturers’ or seller’s option. SureCrete LLC shall not be liable for the cost of labor or direct and/or incidental consequential damages.

CAUTIONS

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Inhalation: Avoid prolonged breathing of airborne dust, particularly present during mixing.
