Non-etching pH reducer for concrete
GBS pH Reducer rapidly carbonates concrete and quickly reduces the pH to neutral, all without odor. Unlike most highly acidic and dangerous products, GBS pH Reducer works without etching the surface.
Use it on all-new indoor or outdoor concrete surfaces after 14 days of initial pour. One or two applications can reduce the substrate to a pH between seven and nine, making it suitable for our GBS Penetrating Sealer, Penetrating Gloss Sealer and most other topical finishes.
Be sure to test the concrete's pH in several areas before use to establish a baseline. Litmus paper is provided with instructions.
Dilute with water to create a unique cleaner and degreaser. It can also be used to neutralize high pH cleaners.
