Water Based Concrete Stain - Semi-transparent - Can be diluted up to 10:1 to create virtually any color stain desired - Does not carry a sealant and should NOT be used as a STANDALONE product - UV-Stable, so as long as a sealer is applied; the colors will not fade or yellow - Supplementary colors may be combined at desired rates and number of coats. 200 sq.ft coverage Concrete Stain - Eco Stain is not a typical stain or dye. It is made from a very mild hydrochloric or phosphoric acid solution, wetting agents, and metallic ions (salts), and specially formulated pigments. When applied on concrete or any cementitious topping the metallic ions chemically react with the free alkaline in the cement forming oxides that produce the color. Unlike dyes that produce an even color, Concrete Stain-Eco Stain produces the multi-hued, variegated, mottled look of natural stone. DESCRIPTION Concrete Stain-Eco Stain is an exciting alternative to typical reactive acid stains. There are no acids or harmful chemicals integrated in its design. Since no chemical reaction takes place, there is no extended waiting time for color to reach full development. Cement substitutes will not affect color, unlike reactive acid stains that are dependent upon alka- linity to create a chemical reaction. Eco-Stains in blues greens will not spot black in the presence of moisture And are UV stable Concrete Stain-Eco Stain penetrates the inherent porosity of cementitious products to produce color. Color may be ?built up? without the worry of spending all the alkalinity, as with acid stain. Eco-Stain saves time on the job with no rinsing, no mopping, no neutralizing, and no residue.

Used for staining concrete walls, floors including cast concrete products and overlays . Eco-Stan is now available in a concentrated liquid 32oz. bottle that makes one full gallon and a 128 oz. bottle. Offered in 30 UV stable concrete stain colors, EcoStain can be diluted up to 10:1 to create virtually any color stain color desired. SURFACE PREPARATION Clean?Concrete must be thoroughly cleaned before Eco-Staining. Liquid curing agents should not be used on concrete that is to be stained. Nothing should block the porosity of the host surface. For premier results in cleaning concrete prior to Concrete Stain-Eco Staining, use a black scrubbing pad with water on a rotational floor scrubbing machine. Super Concrete Renovator (SCR) is recommended for every Concrete Stain-Eco Stain project on concrete. SCR is a mildly acidic detergent that cleans concrete thoroughly. See Appli- cation sheet for SCR for instructions. (Note: Some substrates are excessively porous. Particularly concrete that was fin- ished poorly [not closed with a steel trowel], broomed, or very old concrete may ab- sorb Eco-Stain so deeply that little color, if any, is visible. With this circumstance Eco-Prime is required. See separate spec. sheet for details). Cured? Allow concrete to cure a minimum of fourteen (14) days. Cooler climates, (highs not reaching 50F) require curing times of twenty-one (21) days or more. APPLICATION Most commonly SP pump-up sprayers are utilized for first coats. However, depend- ing upon the desired results, sponging, ragging, mopping, brushing, and nearly any type of spraying are also employed. Applying additional coats is optional. Supplementary colors may be combined at de- sired rates and number of coats. Customarily apply lighter colors first. CLEAN-UP None, simply allow to dry SEALER For interior applications, the most durable sealers are any of the Dura-Kote line. For exterior applications requiring ?breatheabilty? SureSeal Solvent or Hi-Gloss WB acrylics are suitable choices. The surface must be clean, completely dry and at least 40F during the sealing appli- cation. Allow twenty-four (24) hours before permitting foot traffic on sealed area. Allow seventy-two (72) hours before permitting vehicle traffic on sealed area.
