ADOCLEAN Brick Acid is based on an inorganic mineral acid. It has been designed to aid the removal of mortar splashes from brickwork, rust and other stains from a wide range of surfaces.

Cleaning of brickwork:

For removal of mortar splashes, saturate the area with water and apply the ADOCLEAN neat, then lightly wire brush and rinse with water. Heavy mortar deposits may require repeated application of ADOCLEAN.

Removal of rust, concrete or mortar splashes from hardware:

Where possible, immerse item in a 50/50 solution of ADOCLEAN brick acid and cold water in a plastic or plastic lined tank, having checked first that the item is fully compatible with the use of ADOCLEAN brick acid. Slight agitation in the tank is beneficial. After a period of use the efficiency of the solution will be reduced but can be restored by adding neat ADOCLEAN brick acid. On removal from tank, rinse the item with clean water. Where it is not possible to immerse the hardware, remove rust or mortar by a brush application of neat ADOCLEAN followed if necessary by a light wire brushing. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Etching of concrete surfaces:

Uniformly apply neat ADOCLEAN to the surface and scrub lightly with a hard brush to aid removal of laitance. On very absorbent surfaces dampen down before applying the ADOCLEAN. Thoroughly rinse the treated area after about 10 minutes ensuring the area does not dry out before rinsing. The treatment may be repeated where required.

If in doubt about the quantity or dilution required for a given finish then we recommend a small trial in an inconspicuous area.

The ADOCLEAN Brick Acid container should be sealed after use to prevent evaporation or accidental spillage. ADOCLEAN Brick Acid corrodes most metals, including stainless steel and certain GRP depending upon the resin. Store in container supplied or in a polyethene, glass or PTFE container—do not store in a metal container. Store small containers away from reactive materials. Adoclean is HIGH CORROSIVE..

Suitable PPE (Safety Glasses, Nitrile rubber gloves, overalls etc.) MUST BE WORN when handling & using ADOCLEAN Brick Acid.
