This may be the same stuff mentioned earlier. Home Depot sells a Klean Srip product called Phosphoric Prep & Etch. Barr is the manufacturer. It is used full strength for rust stripping. 1 part water to 3 parts Prep & Etch for phosphating. 1 part water to 4 parts Prep & Etch for comncrete etching.
When using it for phosphating, iron phosphate is formed on the surface of the metal which promotes paint adhesion and also thickness. It is important to wash the part well after phosphating to remove residule materials and to thourghly dry the part before painting. The iron phosphate grows on the surface of the metal like little Chritmas trees and really holds water. If dried properly these same growth structures provide a place for the paint to bond. Something like painting a rough sawed board.
I have painted test samples with and without phosphating and can see a difference when scratching the painted surface.
