Technical Information

SURFACE PREPARATION: Always test surface to be treated prior to application. This product will not work properly over coated concrete surfaces and is not to be used as a chemical coating stripper. Sweep all trash and debris off the area to be cleaned and prepared. Protect all areas not to be cleaned and prepared. Mask off all adjacent surfaces with painter’s tape or plastic duct tape. Use a plastic or coated cardboard as a spray shield. Plastic or polyethylene sprayers and buckets are recommended for application. MIXING: Dilute SS Surf Prep with water to desired dilution rate: Full Strength……For extreme stains, burnished slabs or toppings 1 water to 1 part Surf Prep …..For Rainbow Stain 3 water to 1 part Surf Prep …..For Acid Stain 4 water to 1 part Surf Prep……For cleaner APPLICATION: Using a polyethylene pump–up sprayer, apply at a rate of up to 150–300 sq. ft. per gallon of finished product (diluted or straight). An acid brush may be used to brush in material for a better application. Always use an acid resistant plastic sprayer and acid resistant brush. For interior work, allow 5–10 minutes for proper reaction, and rinse thoroughly with water by mop with a water and ammonia solution or baking soda to neutralize the surface for proper pH level. Remove standing water with a wet vacuum. Repeat until floor is clean and free of all material. Caution: do not allow SS Surf Prep to dry out. Allow the area to dry 18–24 hours. The floor is now prepared for most any stain or coating application. PLEASE NOTE: When using this product for acid stain preparation, the neutralization process should be done after the acid stain is applied instead of after the preparation process.

Use warm soap and water. Dispose of containers in accordance with local and federal regulations.
