Can you use white distilled vinegar to etch concrete?

Concrete is very hard. To do any good in etching it you need something very strong. Muriatic Acid is the only thing that I have found that works. How strong you mix it depends on the concrete. Some concrete that was poured with a lot of water in the mix will need less Acid. Concrete that is smooth and hard will take more. Muriatic Acid is caustic. Read the direction. Use rubber gloves; safety glasses; and a respirator. For a large project, such as a driveway or Patio. Use a plastic garbage can. Fill with 10 gallons of water. Carefully pour one gallon of Muriatic Acid into the water and mix with a wooden paddle. Take a plastic watering can and fill it with the solution. Wet your concrete with a water hose, then carefully pour the Acid solution onto the concrete. It will bubble and foam. This is the acid etching the concrete. Let it set for about 15 min. Scrub with a stiff push broom, and then rinse with a water hose. The acid will kill plants and grass. Steve Schillinger sds@knology.net = Safety Note = Make sure you put the water in the garbage can first--adding water to acid is a sure way to get splashed with concentrated acid.


What is concrete neutralizer?

its is something that neutralizes the concrete! :)


Will fertilizer hurt unsealed concrete?

Unsealed concrete is porous and soaks in everything that is poured on it. Fertilizer will sock into the concrete.


Which are the foaming agents used in light wt concrete?

I had the same question. They are also called "air entraining agents." They are essentially generic or proprietary industrial detergents marketed under a wide variety of brand names. They are used with a machine called a "foam generator" to introduce tiny bubbles into the concrete mix and maintain the bubbles until it hardens. I also found that aluminum powder can serve as a foaming agent for concrete, but I don't think that it is commonly used, since that would be a very expensive proposition.


What is concrete batching?

Concrete batching plant is a modern mechanical equipment that mixes materials evenly. Common types include fixed concrete batching and mobile concrete batching plant. If you want to buy a concrete mixing plant, remember to choose a strong manufacturer.for example :camelway.ph/concrete-batching-plant/

What is C25 concrete?

C25 concrete is a concrete having compressive strength of 25MPa when tested at the 28th day after casting. The specimen can be cube(150x150x150) or cylindrical(125mm by 250mm high). The cube strength has 0.8 times that of cylindrical specimen due to shape factor.


What is the difference between leAn concrete and ready mix concrete?

Lean mix concrete is used for substructures like foundations,piles,etc.,Ready mix concrete is used for superstructures and also for mass construction.Generally, quality of ready mix concrete is good when compared to the lean mix concrete.Workability of lean mix concrete is high when compared to RMC.


What kind of concrete should be used when making a concrete patio?

C25 Blended. Would be more than strong enough if there are just people walking on it. 10mm stone will give a better finnish too. Regards Colin

The mixes of grades M5 M10, M15, M20 and M25 correspond approximately to the mix proportions (1:4:8), (1:3:6), (1:2:4), (1:1.5:3) and (1:1:2) respectively.


Why is strength of concrete so important in construction?

The strength of concrete depends on the mix used to make it- ratio of cement, sand, gravel and water. If the mix does not produce a concrete that is strong enough, the concrete will break.


What is concrete mix design?

Its the process of selecting suitable ingredients of concrete and determining their relative amounts with the objective of producing a concrete of the required, strength, durability, and workability as economically as possible, is termed the concrete mix design.
