Eco Stain Water-Based Concrete Stain - 32 oz Concentrate - Walnut

The SureCrete Eco-Stain is a professional-grade, yet DIY-friendly, water-based, semi-transparent concrete stain that is UV-stable once sealed, making it ideal for both exterior and interior projects. With a coverage of 200 sq ft at a standard 3:1 dilution (96 oz water : 32 oz Eco Stain Concentrate), the Eco-Stain is an environmentally friendly and safe option, as it contains zero VOCs and is free from harmful acids or chemicals, making it safe to use around plants and animals.

Unlike acid stains, the SureCrete Eco Stain does not require neutralization, allowing for better control over the color and intensity. Additionally, you can layer multiple colors or dilutions to achieve different effects, providing ample creative freedom.

The Eco-Stain's concentrated formula can be diluted up to 10:1 to create virtually any desired stain, offering versatility and customization options. However, it is important to note that the Eco-Stain must be sealed to ensure its permanence, as it does not carry any sealant on its own and risks being washed away by rain, moisture, or abrasion if left unsealed.

When it comes to sealing the Eco-Stain, it can be done with a solvent or water-based acrylic, polyurethane, epoxy, or polyaspartic sealer once the stain has completely dried. This sealing process is crucial, as it helps to preserve the color enhancement provided by the Eco-Stain.

It is important to test the Eco-Stain before committing to a full application, as this ensures that the color meets your expectations and verifies that the surface can absorb the stain properly. Highly porous substrates, such as poorly finished or old concrete, may absorb the Eco-Stain too deeply, requiring more applications to achieve the desired color, while hard-troweled surfaces with smaller pores may cause the Eco-Stain to dry on the surface without proper absorption.

For clean-up, the Eco-Stain can be easily cleaned up with water, further adding to its user-friendliness. The standard dilution is 3:1 (96 oz water and 32 oz Eco-Stain), but more water can be added to create lighter shades if desired.

In summary, the SureCrete Eco-Stain is a versatile, environmentally-conscious, and user-friendly concrete stain that can be customized to suit a wide range of projects, both indoors and outdoors, once properly sealed to ensure its longevity and color preservation.
