Acid Floor Paint

This will create a more consistent finish.

Acid floor paint.

Make sure that the sprayer is primarily plastic because the acid will corrode any metal parts. Then pour the acid based stain into a handheld airless sprayer. Allow it to soak for a few seconds and rinse. When you apply the acid stain the lime deposits in the concrete are what react with the acid giving the flooring its different coloring.

For stubborn stains use muriatic acid in combination with your pressure washer set to at least 1200 psi. Use baking soda on the cleaned area to neutralize the acid and rinse. As you re spraying the stain have someone else follow behind you with a broom working the stain into the floor. Armorgarage has a full line of acid resistant novolac epoxy floor coatings and concrete repair compounds that provide the highest level of protection against hundreds of different chemicals and acids.

Spray it evenly across the floor. For many years it was a standard method of concrete preparation used by nearly all industrial commercial and institutional floor coating installers depending on the floor size and system to be installed. Apply the acid according to the manufacturer s instructions. Spray the acid stain with the spraying wand about a foot and a half above the ground.
