But they will not remove petroleum-based products or animal vegetable oils from the concrete. Acid etching is meant to create a surface profile not clean the concrete. To clean or degrease concrete use specialtly cleaning products. Newlook International has products available to clean and profile concrete. After acid etching is done the surface must be neutralized. Bonding problems can occur if acidic residue remains on the concrete. ASTM D 4262-83 is the test method for pH for chemically cleaned or etched concrete surfaces.
