SureCrete's Eco-Stain colors concrete surfaces in a liquid form semi-transparent concrete water based stain floor color that puts you as the applicator head and shoulders above your competition. Unlike most concrete stains commonly used in the decorative concrete market today, Eco-Stain uses an eco-friendly; water-based formula that contains little VOC’s and has no pungent chemical aroma. The semi-transparent stain is not like solid painting concrete.

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! No in-between steps to slow you and your crew down!

On top of these wonderful benefits over other manufacturers, we’ve made sure that the pigments used in Eco-Stain are UV-Stable, so as long as a sealer is applied; the colors will not fade or yellow when subjected to sunlight. And since we made the pigments so stable, we thought it would also be a good idea to give you more of them. The Eco-Stain standard color chart houses 29 vibrant stock colors to choose from, and these colors can be mixed and matched to your content to achieve a literally limitless color palette including white stain.

Where can I use it? Unlike concrete acid stain, Eco-Stain is an extremely versatile product, and as such, it can be applied in a nearly unlimited range of substrates and locations. Many will use our water-based eco-stain to add more depth of color to a freshly poured or stamped and textured slab or on fresh concrete overlays. Its uses aren’t limited to just new concrete, though. An old slab that, at one time, may have had vibrant color can be revived using our Eco-Stain product along with a fresh coat of sealer. This stain can even be used to color precast concrete countertops and sinks, as well as architectural or sculptural cast cement. Its uses are nearly limitless for exterior concrete and interior paint stains.

How to Apply Water-Based Semi-Transparent Concrete Color?

Mixing and Application of Eco Stain Concrete Stain

Eco Stain is available in concentrate, not ready to use format. It must be diluted with water before use. Dilution rates are based upon the type of concentrate used (ie: 32 oz or 128 oz bottles). Turning Eco Stain into the “Standard” color found at color chart can be found on the dilution charts below. Additionally, Eco Stain can be diluted much further with water, extending coverage rates and the transparency of the stain, if desired.

Creating a “Standard” Color

Step 1. Shake Eco Stain bottle vigorously for 1 minute before use.

Step 2. Pour the desired amount of Eco Stain in a larger mixing vessel.

Step 3. Turn Eco Stain Concentrate into “Standard Color”, by adding clean water (based on the chart).

Step 4. Add a small portion of the desired water for usage, into Eco stain bottle and shake for 10 – 15 more seconds to ensure all concentrate has been dispersed. Pour into mixing vessel. Stir for 20 seconds.

Step 5. The product is ready to use as a “Standard Color”. Apply product as desired.

Diluting a “Standard” Color

Step 1. Shake or stir your Eco Stain “Standard Color”.

Step 2. Measure out the desired amount of Eco Stain by oz.

Step 3. Add equal parts of clean water to the premeasured Eco Stain. Step 4. Shake or stir product for 10-15 seconds.

Step 5. The product is ready to be used, apply the product as desired.

Note: Based on 32oz Bottle turned into 1 Gallon of Standard Color Eco Stain.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How long do I have to wait before sealing this Dye color?

Answer: Only as long as it takes to dry! This will vary greatly depending on the local temperature/humidity as well as how much Eco-Stain was used in the
project. The more stain you use in a given area, the longer it will take to dry.

Can you make Eco-Stain look like Acid Concrete Stain?

Answer: In short, yes! Depending on the reactive acid stain color you are looking to achieve, different colored Eco-Stains can be applied at various dilution rates
to simulate the earth-toned reactive color scheme you typically get from Acid Stains. Grab some colors and give it a try! You can always wipe it up with water
and try again!

Why does my stain fade over time?

Answer: There are multiple reasons depending on the situation, but for most cases, it boils down to two main reasons: UV exposure and sealer degradation. Unlike Eco-Stain, chemical stains are not UV-stable, and therefore will fade over time if exposed to direct sunlight. And whether you have a chemical stain or
eco-stain applied on your surface, all colors will fade if a sealer is not correctly applied and maintained. Over time, sealers fade and need to be
replaced or “replenished” with a fresh coating.

How far can it be diluted?

Answer: The short answer would be: as far as you want! As these stains are made available in a concentrated format, they are typically diluted on site depending on the color density you are looking to achieve. The more the stain is diluted, the weaker the color will be. Once you dilute so far, however, the stain can lose some of its properties as is spread too thin across a surface.
