from my point of view muriatic acid can not soften concrete but can affect minimal with the help of pounding the surface and spraying or painting with muriactic acid then repeating several times until it breakdown
That depends on what you're trying to clean off. Technically, muratic acid removes some of the chemicals that make up the surface of the concete. If the stain is deep you'll need to use a stronger concentration of the muratic acid. If it's just a weak surface stain, you can dilute the acid. The muratic acid will destroy any clothing, especially cotton, that it touches. Even a drop will disolve the cotton where it touches. Concentrated muratic acid that gets in your eyes can cause blindness, so make sure you wear something to protect your eyes. It burns if you get the acid on your skin, so wear gloves and have plenty of water nearby. Beyond that, just put water in a plastic pail then add muratic acid to get to the concentration that you want. I use an automotive wheel cleaning brush to clean with muratic acid, I also wear rubber gloves when I'm using the stronger concentrations. Brush it on, work it a little then rinse it off with water. It takes a small amount of concrete off the surface and changes the appearance of the concrete, but it also removes the stain.For cleaning concrete, I would recommend using a citrus degreaser instead of muriatic acid. It is much more environmentally friendly, and you don't have to be a chemist to use it. You can purchase it at any professional construction material supply store. Available in 1 gallon and 5 gallon. It also smells a lot better than muriatic acid!!
No, you should not substitute muriatic acid for battery acid. Battery acid is typically sulfuric acid, which has different properties and concentrations than muriatic acid. Substituting one for the other can damage the battery and may be dangerous.
Yes, muriatic acid can dissolve concrete.
Muratic acid is hydrogen chloride (HCl) dissolved in water and sold as a liquid
If you have accidentally consumed hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid), seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by a healthcare provider. Rinse your mouth with water if the acid was ingested orally.
muriatic acid should not cause discolouration to concrete it will eat it away though.
Muratic acid is another name for hydrochloric acid, so it is not the same thing as sulfuric acid.
i want to clean algi from pontoons on my pontoon boat,,can muratic acid be used??????
muratic acid
A strong chemical cleaner will be needed to remove tar from the driveway. Muratic acid, or something similar should soften the tar. use all safety precautions.
Muratic acid. Or however you spell it. 1/3 acid/ water. Do not use if it is sealed or stained.
Formula: HCl
