Dulux Concrete & Paving Etch and Clean is a specialised, water-based concrete preparation product designed to penetrate and clean bare concrete surfaces before priming and painting. As the first stage in the Dulux Concrete & Paving coating process, it etches the surface to create optimal adhesion for subsequent primers and topcoats, ensuring a durable and professional finish.

Key Features & Benefits

• Essential first stage primer prep – prepares bare concrete for the next step in the Dulux Concrete & Paving system by creating key for better adhesion.

• Combined etch and clean action – penetrates deep into the concrete to both clean and etch the surface in one step, removing contaminants for a sound base.

• Suitable for new and old concrete – ideal for all bare concrete surfaces prior to priming, including driveways, patios and paving.

• Efficient coverage – up to approximately 12 m² per litre, depending on surface porosity and dilution.

• Adjustable strength – dilute at 1:4 with water for standard cleaning or 1:2 for heavier staining and preparation.

How to Use

1. Dilute correctly according to surface condition.

2. Apply evenly over bare concrete to remove dust, light residues and laitance.

3. Rinse thoroughly and allow the surface to dry before applying Dulux Concrete & Paving Bare Concrete Primer.

4. Continue with primer and finishing coats for a long-lasting, high-performance result.

Dulux Concrete & Paving Etch and Clean is the first essential step in achieving a long-lasting, professional concrete coating system by improving surface grip and preparing the substrate for the primer and sealer to bond effectively.
