Concrete Coatings Acid Stain - Chemical stain for concrete

CCI Acid Stain reacts with minerals that exist in concrete that has cured for at least 28 days. It penetrates the very top layer of the concrete surface with color that will not chip, crack, or peel. The colors produced in each section of concrete will be unique with captivating, multi-colored intensities that become a permanent part of the concrete.

Remember that chemical acid stains will react differently on all concrete surfaces.
Due to the unique nature of acid stains, it is highly recommended that
small representative samples be applied in an inconspicuous area to determine
how the stain will react with the actual concrete. Colors should never be chosen
from any test areas except on the actual concrete, at the jobsite in which the stain
is to be applied. The color in the bottle is not the same as it will look on concrete
once the stain has dried and reacted with the concrete. All stains can be diluted
up to 50% with water for lighter color variations. We recommend that you premoisten
the concrete with a pump sprayer filled with water prior to application
of stain. Make sure to protect surrounding areas with plastic or masking before
stain application. Always start with light colors and work toward dark colors.
Spray stain in a small circular pattern maintaining an even consistent coverage
of the surface. A fizzing will occur as the stain reacts with the concrete; this is
normal and actually a good sign. Continue and complete floor, keeping a wet
edge as to reduce application marks. Scrubbing with a stiff acid brush and respraying
may be necessary to help the stain penetrate the floor. Stain reaction
and color usually occurs in 2-4 hours.
