Acid Stain is not a paint or coating agent, rather, it's a coloring
process involving a chemical reaction on a cementitious material. 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 cementitious overlays and self-levelers. Acid Stain is a very durable
product if properly protected with sealer 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. Acid Stain can be applied to walks, entrances, driveways, living rooms, bathrooms,
patios, high traffic areas and even vertically to any cementitious surface On some applications where the surface is textured,
as in stamped concrete or stamped overlays, Acid Stain provides even more depth of color, larger selection and realistic look
to the surface.
