Application requires a complex multistep process and should only be attempted by experienced contractors and artisans.

CHEMSTAIN CLASSIC USES

Use to create permanent and uneven decorative artistic effects on interior or exterior cementitious hardscapes including floors, walls, stairs, ramps, pools, ponds, precast structural pieces, rock simulations, statues, or other concrete objects.

Different stain and sealer combinations will develop very different visual effects. Low solids water based sealers can be used to create concrete rock features that lose their commonplace appearance and assume a rich, natural beauty. High solids water based or solvent based
acrylic, epoxy, or polyurethanes can be used to develop dramatic jewel tones made to look like polished marble, leather, metal, wet sand deposits, or richly stained wood.

 

CHARACTERISTICS / ADVANTAGES

The longevity of chemically stained concrete is superior in color durability and abrasion resistance to that of concrete surfaces coated with acrylic paints or stains. They do not weather off quickly or delaminate. Their chemical reaction to the concrete allows pigments to become embedded as part of the surface. They will not fade, chip, crack, or peel.
