Etch-Stain can be applied to finished concrete, Kwik-Top, Nano-Crete or Versa-Crete. Etch Stain transforms an ordinary concrete slab into a luxurious floor, resembling marble or stone. When stained and scored, Etch Stain creates the appearance of expensive flooring for a fraction of the cost. Unlike paint, Etch Stain reacts with the minerals present in the concrete, giving it the look and feel of natural stone. Each concrete slab accepts the stain with varying degrees of intensity, creating stunning multi hued color variations while providing an aged look. Etch Stain is made with an acid solution, wetting agents, and metallic ions (particles). When this solution is placed on concrete it can color the concrete by chemically combining the metallic ions with particles in the concrete to form oxides. This procedure is not a dye-technique.

AND WHAT ABOUT UNIFORM COLOR?
If you want uniform color, don’t use Etch Stain. Because concrete is not uniform, the reaction is not uniform, therefore the color is not uniform. For a brighter wet-look affect, apply Versa- Glaze Gloss or Matte Sealer.
