ARC Barracuda 10k Technical Data Sheet

NON-REGULATED and OEM APPROVED CONCRETE REMOVER

ARC Barracuda 10k is not only the most potent concrete stripper in the world, it is also the safest. Independent tests confirm that ARC Barracuda 10k, formed with patented SynTech®, the world’s only synthetic acid, dissolves nearly 10% more concrete than hydrochloric acid. Still, that potency comes with a triple zero HMIS score in the USA which makes our concrete stripper safe on skin, safe for your equipment and safe to store anywhere you wish.

ARC Barracuda 10k is so safe it is recommended by leaders in the US industry including Mack, McNeilus, Oshkosh, London, Indiana Phoenix and others. It is safe on paint, chrome, wiring, plastic, aluminium and even glass.
ARC Barracuda 10k contains no acid and is non-corrosive, meaning it can be applied to any equipment. It is so safe it can be left on overnight to loosen the heaviest buildup. Ideal for cleaning forms, pavers, portable mixers, swimming pools, tools, windows- anywhere you find cement, gunite or mortar. Any cleaning that once required the use of dangerous, toxic acids can now be safely done with ARC Barracuda 10k. It is entirely synthetic, so no neutralising step is required. Simply rinse with water.

ARC Barracuda 10k concrete stripper is non-regulated and is readily biodegradable and non-fuming.
