Acid Stains

 

Acid stain is a solution made with water, hydrochloric acid, and acid-soluble metallic salts that react with minerals already present in the concrete. The result of this reaction is beautifully colored concrete that works very well on concrete, new or old concrete. The acid in the stain lightly etches the surface of the concrete, which allows the metallic salts to penetrate more easily. Once the stain reacts, it becomes a permanent part of the concrete. Acid-based stains are translucent and the color they produce will vary depending on the color and condition of the surface they are applied to. Each cement slab will react to the stain in varying degrees of intensity, creating natural color variations that bring character and distinction to each project.
