Synthetic Acid Ultra Low pH Concrete Stripper and Cleaner
Foro SapH Etch is a non-corrosive and biodegradable concrete stripper. Powered by SynTech®, Foro SapH Etch has earned a triple zero HMIS score. Our formulation is made to replace 32% hydrochloric acid (muriatic) and to eliminate the dangerous health, storage and environmental hazards associated with it. Foro SapH is non-fuming, so it can be safely used in any enclosed home or work space.
Infused with SynTech®, the world’s only synthetic acid, Foro SapH Etch has a hydrogen load high enough to dissolve calcium carbonate. Our formulation is made to replace 32% hydrochloric acid (muriatic) and to eliminate the dangerous health, storage and environmental hazards associated with it. Foro SapH is non-fuming, so it can be safely used in any enclosed home or work space. But because SynTech® has a much stronger bond to the H+ ion than muriatic acid, Foro SapH Etch has a slower spending nature. This makes
it ideal for use in detailed and architectural etching, as well as for more routine concrete cleaning and preparation applications. Foro SapH Etch is ultra low pH and non-corrosive. And because it is 100% synthetic, no neutralizing step is needed afterward. Simply rinse with water. It is the easiest etching product you will ever use.
