Acid Stain is not a paint or a coating agent, rather, it is a coloring process involving a chemical reaction on a cementitious material. This is achieved by mixing a solution made with water, acid and inorganic salts reacts with minerals already present in the concrete, the result of this reaction is color. It works very well on new or old concrete, and we’ve seen impressive results over decorative polymer overlays as well as self-levelling products. Acid Stain is a very durable product if properly protected with sealer epoxy, urethane or wax, and it can be applied to both interiors and exteriors.
What makes Acid Stain so attractive? Acid Stain gives concrete a mottled, variegated, marble like look. It creates beautiful colors on concrete, mostly earth tone browns, reddish browns and greens. You can also create your own shades by mixing and matching your available colors, or applying them at different rates. Never expect Acid Stain to be uniform or have an even tone, you’ll get different reactions from slab to slab, and even on the same job you may see different coloration patterns.
