Stained Concrete
​No Stamp

Eco-Stain is a liquid semi-transparent water-based concrete stain for accent coloring that can be sprayed, brushed rolled or even sponged. Used for staining concrete floors and walls including overlays and cast concrete products. Offered in 30 UV stable concrete stain colors, EcoStain can be diluted up to 10:1 to create virtually any color stain color desired. Applying concrete dyes has never been easier.
So how does it work? Unlike acid stains which perform a chemical reaction once in contact with the surface of the concrete to achieve their color, Eco-Stain for concrete floors is a penetrating concrete stain which gives much more control over the design and colors you may want to apply to your project. Giving you more control isn’t the only benefit, though. Since it is a water-based solution, there is no need for any neutralization or clean-up! As soon as the product has been down long enough to be dry to the touch, you’re ready to seal.

A release agent is required when stamping concrete. Without it, the concrete paste can adhere to the stamp, ruining the final texture and appearance. There are two primary kinds of release agent: powdered and liquid. Powdered release agents will become embedded in the low stops of the concrete (the high spots of the stamp), imparting a contrasting color in a process called antiquing. When the dust of a powdered release is not desirable or antiquing is not the desired effect, clear liquid release agent can be sprayed on to the surface and the stamps to achieve the same bond breaking effect without adding any contrasting color.
