Features
The GP18 propane series is productive, durable, easy to use, and virtually maintenance free. It can be used to prepare concrete floors for topical coatings, overlayments, and adhesive floor coverings, including removal of thin-set mortar, mil and epoxy coatings, mastic and carpet adhesives, as well as polish floors to a high-gloss shine. This machine is also fully adaptable to applications such as terrazzo, marble, and granite.
