Formwork and Concrete Surface Cleaner (Betonyse)
Betonyse is a substance used to clean surfaces from concrete and cementitious residues. By initiating chemical reactions, this product disrupts the crystalline structure of concrete, making it washable.
Apply Betonyse to a dry and cool surface. For best results, use an airless (non-air) spray. However, it can also be applied using regular pumps or even a brush. Ensure the surface is cool before applying Betonyse. (Note: Never apply Betonyse to a hot surface in direct sunlight).
The best time to apply Betonyse is during the early morning or late afternoon (dusk). Choose a section of the surface for work and consider a point as the starting point, then uniformly spray until the end of the section. After fully covering the surface with Betonyse, allow it to penetrate the concrete surface for 10 to 45 minutes. The duration depends on the ambient temperature and the structure’s thickness. When a white or sugary powder forms on the surface, respray Betonyse until the surface is fully saturated. After the cement or concrete turns into a cheesecake-like substance, rinse it thoroughly with water. The best results are achieved using high-pressure washing (300 to 500 bars), although municipal plumbing pressure can suffice.
For cleaning small tools, immerse them in a Betonyse -containing container for 20 to 45 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
Avoid applying Betonyse when the temperature is below freezing or extremely hot. It’s worth noting that the best results are achieved at temperatures between 5 and 27 degrees Celsius. Before using Betonyse on a large scale, test it on a small surface to measure its cleaning power (number of applications required).
