EpoxyShield 238475 Concrete Etch, Granular, White, 2 Gal

Rust-Oleum EpoxyShield Concrete Etch is a granular citric acid product designed to clean and prepare bare concrete floors for coating. Whether you're refinishing a garage floor, driveway, patio, or other concrete surface, this etch removes laitance (the weak surface layer) and creates a surface profile that promotes strong adhesion for epoxy, latex, and acrylic floor coatings. Proper surface preparation is essential for a durable, long-lasting finish that resists peeling and premature wear.

The ready-to-use granular formula mixes with water and applies with a brush or roller for consistent coverage. By chemically opening the pores of the concrete substrate, EpoxyShield ensures a reliable bond between the concrete and your chosen topcoat, extending the life of your flooring investment.
