Acid Stain Concrete
Water Based Concrete Stain

Acid Stain

Acid stain is a mixture of hydrochloric acid, water, and metallic salts that react with the hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide) in the concrete to produce mottled, earth-tone colors. This chemical reaction produces varying degrees of color intensity to create a marbled or glazed stone appearance. Unlike paint or other coatings, acid stain is permanent and will last the lifetime of the surface it is applied to. Acid stain provides a low maintenance interior or exterior floor that is attractive, economical, and durable. Its use has grown in popularity because more architects, contractors, and owners are beginning to understand the benefits an acid stained floor has to offer.

Kemiko

Kemiko Stone Tone Stain transforms an ordinary concrete slab into a luxurious floor to resemble glazed stone or marble. When concrete is stained with Kemiko Stone Tone Stain, it creates the appearance of expensive flooring at a fraction of the cost. Unlike paint, Kemiko Stone Tone Stain reacts with the minerals present in the concrete giving it the look and feel of natural stone.

Water-Based Stain

Water based stains are commonly used as an alternative or in addition to acid stains. Water based stains are more predictable in color, as it does not depend on a reaction with the concrete to produce the color. Water based stains can achieve colors that cannot be achieved by acid stains. Unlike acid stain, it is not necessary to neutralize the surface after application. It is user friendly and has a very low VOC (volatile organic compound) count.

Our Rembrandt stain is a new acrylic-urethane polymer stain that is easy to apply and comes in a full palette of colors. It is packaged as four tubes of pigment and one gallon of polymer resin. Separating the pigments gives the installer great control in achieving specific colors, or matching existing colors. Rembrandt stains are perfect for interior or exterior concrete or concrete overlay applications because they are UV stable and durable. Water based stains can also be used on floors that will not accept acid stain.

Rembrandt

Rembrandt, a unique eco-friendly polymer, allows the designer to infuse concrete with a palette of artful colors. Rembrandt is a consumer friendly, easy to use, alternative decorative solution for concrete that cannot be prepared to receive acid stains.
