Summary of Practice4.1 This practice is intended to provide a clean,conta
7、mination-free, and roughened surface.4.2 Acceptable surfaces shall be free of laitance, formrelease agents, curing agents, oil, grease, and other penetratingcontaminants. The surface shall be free of fins, projections, andloosely adhering concrete, dirt, and dust particles.4.3 For some applications,

Significance and Use5.1 This practice is used to prepare concrete for coatingswhere optimum bond is desired for service conditions such ascontinuous or intermittent immersion, temperature cycling, ormechanical load
9、ing.6. Hazards6.1 New concrete shall be cured in accordance with ACI-308.6.2 Concrete cure compounds, form release materials, orconcrete hardeners may require abrading, in accordance withPractice D4259, as acid etching may not be effective.6.3 All oil and grease shall be removed in accordance withPr

Liquid Acid Etching Procedure7.1 Pre-Surface Preparation:7.1.1 Remove grease,
11、 oil, and other penetrating contami-nants (see Practice D4258).7.1.2 Remove fins and protruding surface irregularities bymechanical means.7.1.3 Surfaces shall be free of standing water.7.1.4 Some curing compounds may not be removed byliquid acid etching and will require preparation by mechanicalabra
