MICROGEL®s have an acidic pH-value and react with the surface-near alkaline cement, which leads to a neutralisation of a micro-thin layer of the concrete surface which can then be removed with water-pressure. As a result the sand/aggregate matrix underneath the concrete skin is revealed uniformly, giving the concrete surface a special look. The etch depth of this acidification is approx. 0.3 mm and is therefore much less than the results that can be achieved by sand blasting for instance.
