Whether for Old World beauty or Modern Sophistication, Concrete Acid-Stain gives you the power to enhance concrete surfaces with unlimited colors and boundless character. The highest concentration of coloring salts in the industry provides rich, deep colors, which impart a dazzling range of hues and undertones.

Using different application techniques can result in a wide range of unique looks and visual character as the acid reacts with the available free lime in the surface of the concrete.

Typical uses include:

Residential Flooring
Restaurants, bars and food service areas
Hotels and Casinos
Retail stores and malls
Art studios, theatres and museums
Offices and lobbies
Family fun centres and amusement parks
Pool decks, patios and walkways
Automobile showrooms
Walls and countertops
Landscaping and faux rockscapes.

 
Acid-Stain is a coloring solution of metallic salts dissolved in an acid solution that, when applied to a cementitious surface, becomes a permanent part of the surface matrix. Depending on the preparation, many special color effects can be achieved as the salts react and are absorbed into the porous surface. The result is a translucent variegated and sometimes marbleized effect that will not crack or peel.
As the stains react with the calcium hydroxide that is in the concrete, cements that produce larger amounts of calcium hydroxide will produce more stain color, and higher cement contents will produce more intence colors.
Specifying a portland or Type GP cement to be used in the concrete mix will increase the calcium hydroxide available.
