Non-Acid Etching for Concrete Surface Preparation
PowerEtch is a professional-grade, non-acid concrete etcher and cleaner designed to safely and effectively prepare bare concrete and masonry surfaces for coatings, paints, stains, adhesives, overlays, and penetrating sealers. Specially formulated for use on garage floors, basement slabs, slab-on-grade concrete, smooth-troweled surfaces, driveways, sidewalks, patios, and more, PowerEtch delivers superior results without the harshness of traditional acid-based products.
Why Choose PowerEtch?
- Clean & Etch in One Simple Step – Removes Efflorescence, Salts, Rust, & Laitance. Opens Pores, Neutralizes Concrete, Roughens Surface Profile.
- Maximize Bond Strength & Coating Performance – Maximizes adhesion of concrete paints, epoxies, adhesives, and overlays. Improves bonding & coating performance. Prevents coatings from easily peeling and delaminating.
- Boost Penetrating Sealer Effectiveness – Increases surface porosity to ensure proper absorption and maximize the performance of penetrating sealers.
- Industrial-Strength, Non-Acid Formula – Outperforms phosphoric and muriatic acid etchers. Won’t burn or degrade concrete, and it’s safe for use indoors and outdoors.
- People, Plant & Pet Friendly – No acid fumes, chemical burns, or harsh odors. PowerEtch is safe for enclosed spaces and around landscaping.

- Increases Surface Friction Coefficient – Etching smooth concrete increases its friction coefficient, helping reduce slips and falls, ideal for pool decks, patios, and walkways.
Restore & Prep Surfaces with PowerEtch
Prepping surfaces with PowerEtch Concrete Etcher & Cleaner enhances the bond strength of coatings and paints, leading to improved performance and extended durability. It opens the pores of smooth-troweled concrete to ensure deeper penetration of penetrating sealers. PowerEtch also removes rust stains, efflorescence, and the common hazing or fogging that can dull the appearance of pavers and bricks—restoring their original, like-new look.
Pro Tip: After etching with PowerEtch, apply a high-quality penetrating sealer to protect the surface from water, stains, and deterioration. This final step helps preserve the appearance and integrity of the surface, keeping it in like-new condition for years to come.
