Agar CR-60 Concrete Remover Agar

Download-Safety Data Sheet

Odour: None.

Concrete Cleaner CR-60 is a fast-acting, non-fuming concrete remover for dissolving lime, concrete and mortar residues from concrete mixers, trucks, trowels used in laying and transporting concrete as well as from surfaces that have been splashed with concrete.

Key Benefits:

• No odour and no fumes. No hydrochloric acid.
• Dissolves concrete quickly, turning it into a soft paste.
• Has corrosion inhibitors to prevent attack of bare iron and steel.
• Also removes rust and hard-water scale.
• Has a detergent action, so can still work on oily surfaces.

How Does It Work?

Concrete Cleaner CR-60 is based on an organic-acid complex which, unlike hydrochloric acid, is non-fuming. This means it has no odour and fumes, but still has acid reserves to keep reacting with concrete. The acidity in this product dissolves the lime component in concrete, resulting in water-soluble salts that can be washed away.

The detergent component in CR-60 ensures that it wets the surface thoroughly and uniformly while also emulsifying any light oil films that may be present.

For Use On…

Concrete Cleaner CR-60 is ideal for use on concrete mixing trucks, portable concrete mixers, floats, trowels, level screeders and concrete pumps. It can be used on plastics and paintwork that is in reasonable condition and it will have little effect on steel, stainless steel, and iron. It is excellent for cleaning concrete, splash on sidings, decks, aluminium window frames and foundations. It should not be used on zinc especially at high temperatures. Because it can dissolve concrete and lime, Concrete Remover CR-60 should not be used on marble, terrazzo, laminates, and other acid-sensitive surfaces.

Application Wear the correct Personal Protective Equipment.

1. Pre-test on an inconspicuous area before use to ensure it will not cause any changes or damage to the underlying surface.
2. Apply neat (undiluted) CONCRETE REMOVER CR-60 with a foamer, spraygun or brush to the dry hardened concrete.
3. Leave in contact for 15 minutes.
4. If CR-60 evaporates and leaves a white residue, do not rinse it off, simply apply more CR-60 to keep it reacting.
5. Then apply another coating and keep the surface wet with CR-60.
6. The concrete will turn soft and come off the surface after total soak time of 20-30 minutes.
7. Rinse off with cold water via a pressure washer.
8. Brushing during the soak time will assist in removing the concrete more quickly.
9. Very thick build-ups may need another treatment to ensure complete removal.
