Can muriatic acid remove concrete sealant?
Concrete sealer is designed to withstand chemical attacks. Muriatic acid, even at a 30% plus solution is considered a mild attack to sealers. The best way to remove sealer is a citrus degreaser. It is environmentally friendly and has a better fragrance. Solvents such as Xylene, Toluene, and MEK can be used also, but they can be very messy because the sealer will soften and then try to re-dry. Degreaser will actually dissolve the sealer.
