Etch-A-Crete Concrete Etching Solution Ensures the Deepest Penetration of Concrete Sealants

Bone Dry concrete sealing products provide a unique vapor barrier for the best in concrete masonry moisture mitigation. Applying VOC free Etch-A-Crete to new or existing concrete slabs will improve the penetration of Bone Dry products. Existing concrete slabs may show signs of efflorescence, rust or mineral stains, discoloration from weathering, and organic growth (algae, mildew, fungus). Etch-A-Crete opens the surface of concrete, preparing it for proper absorption of concrete sealants -  Bone Dry Pro, Bone Dry Plus, and Bone Dry Original - to prevent concrete moisture.

Does My Concrete Need to Be Etched?

If a concrete slab needs waterproofing and has been hard-troweled, an etching solution is essential to providing the deepest penetration of any Bone Dry sealing materials. Etch-A-Crete increases the porosity of hard-troweled surfaces so Bone Dry Pro, Bone Dry Original, or Bone Dry Plus absorbed more effectively, providing concrete with the ultimate in waterproofing.

Etch-A-Crete Preps Existing Concrete Surfaces for Waterproofing

Bone Dry products are the most cost-effective way of sealing concrete flooring to prevent moisture from damaging surface materials. Etch-A-Crete plays an essential role in this process by preparing hard-troweled concrete for waterproofing.

Whether you need to waterproof huge surfaces - such as an airplane hangar or a health care facility requiring the best in concrete mold, mildew and microbial prevention -  or just need to seal your garage or basement floor, Etch-A-Crete and the rest of our Bone Dry products are your answer for the best in moisture mitigation and concrete etching materials.
